Best & Worst: People’s Choice Awards

“It’s a particular honor to be the people’s choice because the people have been choosing so well lately,” a playful Hugh Laurie said in his native English accent. Witty and dapper, with charm to spare, Hugh was on stage a pitifully short time. Come back!  (Kevork Djansezian / Getty Images for PCA)

Whose bright idea was it to have “90210” alum Jennie Garth present with her next gen West Bev replacement, AnnaLynne McCord? Jennie’s mouth was reading the teleprompter, but her eyes were saying, “I hate you, I want to be you, I hate you, I want to be you.”  (Kevork Djansezian / Getty Images for PCA)

Robin Williams continued his crazy streak on stage, seemingly ignoring the teleprompter and ad-libbing instead about how he’d like to see one of Angelina’s tattoos. The audience was appropriately silent. Ha. Ha.  (Kevork Djansezian / Getty Images for PCA)

When the actress took the stage in all her post-pubescent splendor, the question in the office was unanimous: “Is that Dakota Fanning!?” Yup, it’s her. Cue the creepy Internet countdown till her 18th birthday.  (Kevork Djansezian / Getty Images for PCA)

She may have been a little stilted at the top of the show, but after a commercial break, the queen came back raring to go: “My people are crazy!” she wailed about audience members who had not yet taken their seats. “You can’t make ‘em sit ‘cause it’s their show!”  (Matt Sayles / Associated Press)

When “Dancing With the Stars” won favorite reality show, the camera panned over a sea of forced applause and frozen smiles that seemed to scream, “Please stop making our jobs disappear!”  (Kevork Djansezian / Getty Images for PCA)

I’m not proud of this, but after seeing “The Wrestler,” all I could think when Marisa Tomei took the stage was, “Hee hee, I saw you topless.”  (Kevork Djansezian / Getty Images for PCA)
