The 2015 People’s Choice Awards will take place live at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles Wednesday night. The ceremony will air on CBS beginning at 9 p.m. EST, but for those unable to tune in, there are other viewing options available.

For those who prefer to watch their favorite stars win— for categories ranging from favorite TV duo to favorite cable TV actor/actress— online, you can watch the show via the network’s social live stream on UStream.

The People’s Choice Awards will also be providing live coverage of the event's red carpet via their official website. Giuliana Rancic and Ross Matthews will be hosting the “Live From the Red Carpet: People’s Choice Awards” special starting at 8 p.m. EST on E!

This year’s event will be hosted by “Mom” co-stars Anna Faris and Allison Janney. According to the People's Choice blog, stars expected to make appearances this year include, but are not limited to: Ellen DeGeneres, Robert Downey Jr., Viola Davis, Ginnifer Goodwin, Chloë Grace Moretz and Betty White. The cast of hit shows such as CBS’s “The Big Bang Theory,” ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” and HBO’s “Entourage” will also be present.

During the show, “Gone Girl” actor Ben Affleck will be awarded with the “Favorite Humanitarian” honor. His recognition from the network comes as a result of his work with the advocacy group, Eastern Congo Initiative, which he founded in 2010.

“We are so pleased to honor Ben with the 2015 People’s Choice Humanitarian Award,” the show’s executive producer, Mark Burnett, said in a statement following the announcement of Affleck’s win. “This award has become an important part of our show. It highlights a different side of a celebrity and helps bring awareness to a cause that our audience can support.”

Not only will the stars come out to accept their awards Wednesday night, some big names in music will be performing their hits live on stage. "Fancy" rapper Iggy Azalea, Lady Antebellum and Fall Out Boy are each scheduled to perform.
