2012 People's Choice Awards Nominations (for 2011 Films)

The People's Choice Awards nominations were announced a while ago but it's been busy times. I know not everyone like to follow the People's Choice Awards but I love how they are a straight-up popularity contest and they include movie, TV and music including people that may not have even necessarily been in anything this year. And as the awards themselves are January 11, 2012 they are often the first awards show of the year. Now let's get to the actual noms (which you can vote for here!)
