2016 People’s Choice Awards: Everything You Need To Know
It was that time of year again, when our favourite Hollywood celebrities put on their most glamorous ensembles and adorned the red carpet.
The 42nd Annual People's Choice Awards was no disappointment last night when it came to fashion and entertainment. In case you missed the show, we've got you covered!
From the "Nae Nae" to a little hint of Bollywood flavour, the #PCAs had it all and much more.

High School Musical star and host of the 2016 People's Choice Awards, Jane Lynch, opened the awards show with quite a comical and entertaining dance performance featuring the very overrated Vines dance, the "Nae Nae."
Of course the show had to make a sarcastic reference to the Miss Universe crowning mix-up that happened a few weeks ago, with a parody bringing Miss Columbia on stage as a "winning" nominee.
Debuting a much slimmer figure, "Mike and Molly" star Melissa McCarthy scooped the very first trophy of the evening, winning the Favourite Comedic Movie Actress award for the second year in a row.

Vin Diesel accepted the Favourite Movie Award for "Furious 7," making a brief tribute to Paul Walker, all while getting emotional on stage and singing a snippet of the movie's feature song "See You Again."

Ellen Degeneres kept it very humble while accepting the two awards for Favourite Humanitarian and Favourite Talk Show Host, stressing that she is obviously not "The Mother Teresa or Dalai Lama of daytime TV."

"Quantico" star Priyanka Chopra definitely stole the show with her brief yet stunning presence of Bollywood glamour, as she graced the stage with John Stamos to present the award winner for Favourite Movie. Not only did she add her cultural flair and comedic personality to the gala, but we thought it was extra cute that she brought her mom along with her as well.
