Country singer Carrie Underwood, who rose to fame on television talent show "American Idol," was another big winner, hauling in three People's Choice Awards for favorite female singer, country song "Last Name," and star under 35 years old.
"Fans and people voting for me are what gave me a career in the first place," Underwood said. "This is an amazing night."
