The People Have Chosen...
...Now it's our turn. At last night's People's Choice Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, celebrities cleaned up and stepped out in their Tuesday's best. Here, we present the WAYW's Choice Awards:
1. Sexiest Slit Without a Britney Spears "Uh Oh" Moment
Winner: Ashley Scott
The "Jericho" actress walked the walk with just enough leg showing through her mahogany Kevan Hall jersey halter gown.

Runner Up: Tawny Cypress
One of the stars of the award-winning show "Heroes" put the "oh" in coral, choosing this chiffon strapless dress for her People's Choice debut.

2. Fanciest Back Support
Winner: Hayden Panettiere
The young beauty of NBC's "Heroes" complimented the red carpet with this Pamella Roland chiffon gown, delicately strapping her in for a secure ascent to the top of this category.

Runner Up: Kate Walsh
Our favorite small screen adulteress, the "Grey's Anatomy" star seduces photographer lights with the crystal accented criss-cross back of her navy Escada jersey dress.

3. Most Multi-Functional Wardrobe
Winner: Jaime King
Although the deep blue of her Lanvin bubble dress has a calming effect, I cant help but wonder if her neck accessory doubles as some type of detatchable Batman-esque self-defense mechanism that is no longer allowed inside carry-on luggage.

Runner Up: Carmen Electra
This lovely turquoise and gold braid-accented one-shoulder gown by new designer Jay Godfrey is appropriate for award shows as well as formal dinners at Roman palaces. Julius Caesar would be proud...

4. Best Color Coordinated Cast Members
Winners: Ali Larter, Hayden Panettiere and Tawny Cypress of "Heroes"
The result of seeing these three at last night's event is a winning spot in this category and a sudden urge for sorbet.

Runners Up: Katherine Heigl and James Pickens Jr of "Grey's Anatomy"
The blue portrait neckline party dress and velvet blue blazer made a winning combination, until I started seeing red (literally) with Pickens' colorful argyle inclinations. Close, but no cigar.

5. Best Arm Candy
Winner: Rebecca Gayheart
All that shines was Gayheart in gold - completing her leg-baring tiered dress with a champagne satin Mary Norton origami-folded clutch that glittering with a Swarovski crystal encrusted jewel.

Runner Up: Rebecca Gayheart
Not nearly as flashy but just as complimentary was Gayheart's husband, Eric Dane of "Grey's Anatomy." Priceless!

6. Best Red Carpet Moves
Runners Up:
Sandra Oh ("Grey's Anatomy") for "the robot"

and Ellen DeGeneres for "the halfway tip-toe Michael Jackson move"

Winner:
Jason Ritter for "the John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever"...

and "the Tom Cruise in...well, real life"

7. The I Want You To Do Better At The SAG Awards Award
Winner: Chandra Wilson
The SAG-nominated actress of "Grey's Anatomy" may have won the top spot in the "Best Arm Candy" category with this lavendar crystal Gourmand clutch had I not been so distracted by the head-to-toe shine and wine of the rest of the ensemble.

Chandra, I love you, but next time think, 'less is more.'
8. Best Legs 40 and Over Award
Winner: Halle Berry
Oh, who are we kidding. Halle's legs rival those of any age bracket. I mean, at some point, we stop asking "Who are you wearing" and just "How?"


Runner Up: Vanessa Williams
Another ageless beauty, the "Ugly Betty" star looked ready for fun in this jazzy navy silk chiffon cocktail dress with crystal beaded trim by Escada.


9. I'm the King of the World! Award
Winner: Masi Oka
Actor Oka can celebrate all he wants with his show "Heroes" ending the night as the People's Choice for best New Drama.

"I'm the King of the World!"
Runner Up: Tracy Morgan
With the rising popularity of "30 Rock," Morgan could possibly snag the winning spot of this category and the People's Choice for best New Comedy next year...so go on and yell one out too!

10. Shameless Plug Award
Winner: LL Cool J
LL decided to forgo a date and bring his new book to the People's Choice Awards. I'd say something smart about there being a time and a place for such things...but I seem to be distracted by the glare from those......wow, what was I saying?

Runner Up: I forget
CONGRATULATIONS to the winners, and we'll see you at the next show...
