The people have spoken.
The stars of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" were among the fan favorites tonight at the 34th annual People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles.
Grey's Anatomy stars Katherine Heigl and Patrick Dempsey were named favorite TV stars. "House" nabbed the award for favorite TV Drama. Reese Witherspoon was named the favorite Female Movie Star and Johnny Depp got the nod for Male Movie Star.
CBS scrapped its usual live broadcast of the show in favor of a strike-friendly, pre-taped program.
The two-month-old Writers Guild of America strike has taken a toll on Hollywood's awards season, leading to the cancellation of the Golden Globes and the scaling-down of People's Choice. The fate of other shows, including the Oscars, remains in question.
