As much as I love that the PCAs are voted on by fans, the show is kinda starting to feel a bit like they are giving away awards just for the sake of giving away awards. That being said, you gotta love an awards show that caters so much to the fans so … you have to admit, there is a high premium on winning a PCA because it comes directly from the fans. Were your faves nominated for awards this year? Who are you rooting for to win a 2011 People’s Choice Award?
