PASADENA, California (AP) -- Two films that defied the odds to earn millions at the box office joined a familiar green ogre to take top honors at the 31st annual People's Choice Awards on Sunday.

Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11," which took a critical look at President Bush's actions after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, won the favorite movie award, while Mel Gibson's explicit "The Passion of the Christ" won in the favorite drama category.

Moore dedicated his win to the U.S. troops fighting overseas and said he was "amazed" that people voted his film their favorite.

"I love making movies, and I'll take this as an invitation to make more 'Fahrenheit 9/11s,"' Moore said.

The animated "Shrek 2" swept a number of categories, being named favorite comedy, favorite sequel and favorite animated movie.

The character of Donkey in "Shrek 2," voiced by Eddie Murphy, was named favorite animated movie star, while the Fairy Godmother, voiced by Jennifer Saunders, won in the favorite movie villain category.

Perennial favorites took many of the top awards, including many of this year's new categories. Julia Roberts and Johnny Depp won for favorite female and male movie star. Matt LeBlanc and Marg Helgenberger won for favorite male and female TV stars.

"Will & Grace" won for favorite TV comedy. "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" was named favorite TV drama.

After votes cast via the Internet during the first hour of the live telecast were counted, "Joey" was named favorite new TV comedy, while "Desperate Housewives" won for favorite new TV drama.

The People's Choice Awards were presented at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and broadcast on CBS. Jason Alexander and Malcolm-Jamal Warner played host. The awards covered 38 film, television and music categories.

The nominations were determined by editors at Entertainment Weekly, the People's Choice production team and a panel of pop culture fans. Winners were determined by Internet voting.

 
I saw the Passion the other day. I think a more appropriate title would have been "Beating the crap out of Jesus". I think his ass wiping will probably be the only thing I'll remember about that movie in 2 years or so. Man it was brutal.
 
I watched the Passion. I must say it was pretty dull, unless you are just into gore and blood, there wasn't much plot to it. I think Braveheart was a much better movie.

Fahrenheit 9/11 was still *the* favorite movie. Can't handle that, can you?

Sure I can. It just goes to show the point that on both the Left and the Right, people just LOVE to put all their trust into baseless, non-credible fictional nonsense. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Democrats and Republicans are the SAME group with different objects of their flawed faith.

Give me a party that actually gives a DAMN about Reason or truth or justice and I'll be a happy guy, but the status quo just ain't gonna cut it.

No, we'll have Michael Moore using the limp, dead body of Jesus to bash Bush, after which he sits down for yet another engorging meal!

I think it's pretty cool that 9/11 and Passion of Christ did well. Both are examples of a person's vision for a film, which appeals to me more than films based on corporate decision-making.

Exactly...a triumph of free speech, even if you don't like what's being said 🙂
 
Why does mike's thread get banned and not this one...
it is following the exact same logic.

Just because it talks about homosexuality.
I'm not impressed.

His thread was a parody and a sort of callout and mockery...kind of like this one (I guess), but not a blatant attack.

so mikes was a parody...this one is a parody...

you are still not differentiating the two in my eyes.

Passion wins award = ppl want more jesus
Will and Grace win award = ppl want more gays.

Same logic. If that one gets shut down...this should as well.
