People's Choice Awards 2024: Live Updates

Simu Liu wears 'Barbie' bracelet fan gave him on red carpet

While Simu Liu stopped to talk to TODAY.com on the red carpet, he flashed a pink beaded bracelet that one of his fans gave him.

"Someone literally just gave it to me," he says, showing the bracelet to the camera that seemingly read, "I am Kenough."

Liu also shared if there are any past hosts who he's trying to channel tonight, as he gets ready to host this year's People’s Choice Awards.

"I think Trevor (Noah)'s done such a great time with the Grammys, you know, looking back two years, Kenan Thompson hosted the People's Choice in '21 and '22 and he's awesome ... just surrounded by a handful of talent," he told TODAY.com.

Kandi Burruss says she'll ‘never say never’ to returning to ‘Real Housewives’

Walking the red carpet at the People’s Choice Awards, Kandi Burruss addressed whether she would eventually make a return to “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

“I have a lot of love for my Bravo family ... you never say never right? But right now I have a lot of things that I’m going after that I don’t see it in my near future,” Burruss, who's nominated for reality TV star of the year, said.

However, when talking to TODAY.com, Burruss said she has “no plans” to return to the Bravo franchise.

“I’m gone,” she added. “I left.”

Burruss announced her "Real Housewives" exit earlier this month after starring on the show for 14 seasons.

When discussing the reason behind her departure, Burruss said the network “allowed us to sit a little too long” since “RHOA” Season 15 premiered in May 2023.

How does voting work at the People's Choice Awards?

The People's Choice Awards is uniquely decided by, naturally, the people.

From Jan. 11-19, fans were able to visit www.votepca.com or X and vote for winners of various social and entertainment categories, including top movies, television shows, celebrities and athletes.

Votes that were submitted during Turbo Tuesday on Jan. 16 from 12 a.m.-11:59 p.m. ET counted twice.

Francesca Farago opens up about IVF, her relationship with Jesse Sullivan

Francesca Farago from "Too Hot to Handle" and "Perfect Match" is postponing her wedding as she goes through IVF with her partner, Jesse Sullivan.

Throughout 2023, the Netflix star posted videos on TikTok documenting the fertility process, including egg retrievals and embryo transfers.

"We want a huge wedding, but I think it would be so cute if we have a little baby in our arms, or two babies in our arms at the wedding," she said. "So hopefully we can have a baby first."

Laverne Cox also praised Farago and Sullivan for being "relatable" and dispelling misconceptions about relationships with transgender people. Sullivan, a TikTok star, is a transgender man.

"We can do everything everyone else can do, we can have a family," Sullivan said. "We just do it with a little more fun."

"I feel blessed. I have the most perfect person. I just feel so lucky. I feel like people are so judgmental for no reason. I think trans guys are the best," Farago added.

Originally, Farago and the TikTok star told People their wedding would be set for May 2024.

Laverne Cox stuns in velvet bodysuit and netted skirt on the red carpet

Different red carpet, same fashionable Laverne Cox. The actor is hosting the E! red carpet for the 2024 People's Choice Awards and she showed up in a black velvet bodysuit, with a netted long skirt that attached to her finger.

She accessorized the look with black velvet gloves and silver jewelry. This hosting gig comes after Cox worked the red carpet at the Emmys last month.

Could there be a ‘Barbie’ reunion? Host Simu Liu teases cast appearances

At least one "Barbie" star is guaranteed to be in attendance at the People's Choice Awards Feb. 18, as Simu Liu is set to take the stage to host the evening.

But the actor has suggested he could be joined by some of his co-stars at the event.

“I would wager that we’ll see a couple people from the movie,” Liu told "E! News" of the possible appearances. “I wanna leave a little bit to surprise as well.”

"Barbie" star Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and Liu are all nominated for People's Choice awards.

However, Robbie, Gosling and director Greta Gerwig were in London just hours earlier Sunday for the BAFTA Awards. The more than 10-hour flight required to get from London to L.A. makes their attendance at the People's Choice Awards, which starts at 8 p.m. ET, extremely unlikely.

Who is performing at the People's Choice Awards?

In addition to awarding fan-favorite films, TV shows and more, the People's Choice Awards are set to feature several performances.

Lenny Kravitz, set to receive the music icon award, will give a "multi-song performance celebrating his legendary music catalog," a press release about the People's Choice Awards states. Shania Twain was the last recipient of the music icon award.

Other performers include Kylie Minogue, fresh off the heels of a Las Vegas residency and her viral 2023 hit "Padam Padam," and Lainey Wilson, who just won a Grammy for best country album on Feb. 4.

Simu Liu promised no ‘Taylor slander’ when he hosts People’s Choice Awards

Simu Liu knows trouble will come if he messes with Swifties.

The “Barbie” actor was announced in January as the host for the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, and he is already taking his duties seriously.

After the news was announced, Liu knew all too well what he had to do: make a promise to Taylor Swift fans.

“There will be no taylor slander at the 2024 PCAs,” the Marvel star tweeted on Jan. 11. “That’s a personal guarantee.”

The tweet is seemingly a reference to Jo Koy’s comments about the superstar when he hosted the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.

The comedian made a joke about Swift during his opening monologue that fell flat. Koy poked fun at Swift for being frequently shown on the screen during her appearances at Kansas City Chiefs games when she cheers on boyfriend Travis Kelce.

The camera then panned over to the “Lover” singer, who pursed her lips and took a sip of her champagne.
