The People Chose "The Dark Knight"
The radiant Queen Latifah lit up the 35th annual People's Choice Awards with her golden locks and energetic personality, making her the Queen Bee of the night.
But it was "The Dark Knight" that stole the show. The caped crusader flick won all five awards for which it was nominated, including favorite cast, superhero, action movie and the on-screen matchup of Christian Bale's Batman and Heath Ledger's Joker.
"On behalf of all of the cast from the movie, thank you very much to the fans," said Bale. "Here's to Heath."
"The answer tonight is 'Yes, we can!'" Latifah said as she opened the show.

In true Ellen DeGeneres style, the spunky talk show host arrived in stage with the "Apple Bottom Jeans" rap song, proving that -- yes, she can dance.
"I wish I could share this with you," DeGeneres told the audience while clutching her trophy for favorite talk show host. "I could throw it on the ground and smash it into a million pieces, and give each one of you a little piece of it, but that's violent, and that's probably why you voted for me, because I'm not violent."
Carrie Underwood, a vision in green, showed off her vocal range with a strong performance. She credited her fans for her success as well as her wins for favorite female singer, favorite country song, "Last Name" and favorite star under 35.
