Fans got up close and personal with Reese Witherspoon at the 35th Annual People's Choice Awards on Wednesday, 1/7/09. The Oscar®-winner gave the thrilled onlookers high fives as she picked up Favorite Female Movie Star. The actress later celebrated with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal at a Hollywood restaurant.
The show got off to a rocky start, as Ellen Degeneres stepped up to the plate as a last minute fill in because Kate Hudson was stuck in traffic.
Hudson later arrived, 40 minutes late, but just in time to pick up her own award for Favorite Leading Lady. Backstage the excited beauty said, "It took me an hour and a half to get here."
Breast cancer survivor Christina Applegate got a warm reception picking up the award for Favorite Female TV Star. In her acceptance speech a gracious Applegate said, "Thank you to all of you for the incredible amount of love and support you've given me over the last few months. It has not gone unnoticed. It was really needed."
The Dark Knight won for Favorite Movie, and Batman himself, Christian Bale dedicated the award to the late Heath Ledger, who stole the show as the now infamous Joker.
