The People's Choice Awards, hosted by Jane Lynch and airing on CBS last night, is one of the more populist awards shows. The people vote; the celebrities from film, television, music, mobile game creation, and social media get awards. What could go wrong? Not a lot to be honest! Furious 7 won a bunch of stuff, as did The Big Bang Theory and Candy Crush Saga. Everything was basically normal!
There were, however, a few moments of unplanned surprises during the show, which included a non-Ye stage crasher and some creative reactions to the play-out music. Take a look below (plus see all the red carpet looks here and the winners here).
A man in a leather jacket interrupted a group of women on a stage, the first instance of such in 2016. He made some words at the microphone ("Yeezy jumped over the candlestick," probably), before the hosts of The Talk — Aisha Tyler, Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, and Sheryl Underwood — literally kicked him off stage.
Second, Dakota Johnson made a funny. It was a good one.
Third, Vin Diesel gave a touching speech when accepting Furious 7's award for Favorite Movie and Favorite Action Movie. The actor spoke about the fans and also the late Paul Walker, eventually ignoring the "wrap it up" signal and instead breaking out into "See You Again." Watch his tribute in song above.

Fourthly, Troian Bellisario of Pretty Little Liars demonstrated another way to ignore the "wrap it up" signal.
And lastly, Taken 3 won something! Congratulations Taken 3!
