People’s Choice Awards 2017: Ellen DeGeneres Credits Mashed Potatoes, Monkeys For Her Historical Win
No one has owned the People’s Choice Awards like Ellen Degeneres, and the comedian continued her success at the event at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles Wednesday night. She set a record with 20 total awards by adding three victories at the 43rd annual event.
Degeneres entered the night with three nominations, and she pulled off a clean sweep. She was named the winner for favorite animated movie voice, favorite daytime TV host, and favorite comedic collaboration.
After being introduced by Justin Timberlake, Degeneres gave another one of her trademark, wacky speeches. She credited mashed potatoes and monkeys for the win, joking that she wished animals could have voted for the award.
