The People's Choice winners are chosen by fans, who can vote online across 58 categories spanning film, TV and music. This year, more than 700 million votes were cast, organizers said. The ceremony, aired live on the CBS network, kicks off Hollywood's annual awards season that culminates with the Academy Awards on March 2.

Kaley Cuoco won her first People's Choice award for favorite comedy TV actress for her role as the ditzy Penny in CBS sitcom "The Big Bang Theory." Chris Colfer won favorite comedic TV actor for a second year running, for his role as Kurt Hummel in Fox's "Glee."

"The Big Bang Theory" won favorite network TV comedy for a third time, while fellow CBS show "The Good Wife" was named favorite network TV drama.

Ellen DeGeneres won favorite daytime TV host for "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," picking up a record 14th People's Choice award. Satirist Stephen Colbert picked up favorite late night talk show host for Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report."

Oscar-winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson was awarded favorite humanitarian for her charity work with her Julian D. King Gift Foundation, in memory of her late nephew.

"It's one thing to be a celebrity and have power ... but it means nothing if we're not helping someone else. It also feels good to see positivity acknowledged," Hudson said emotionally.

The 40th People's Choice awards opened with a skit featuring many of the night's nominees sitting in "2 Broke Girls" diner set, being served by the show's stars and awards hosts Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs. Dennings and Behrs then kicked off the show by having a bevy of waitresses serve burgers to the audience.

Singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, country star Brad Paisley and pop-rock group OneRepublic provided the musical entertainment, while Drew Barrymore, Matt LeBlanc and Zac Efron were among the night's many presenters.
