The People’s Choice Awards were handed out last night and Chris Colfer won the award for Favorite TV Comedy Actor.
It was the gayest category of the night since his competition included three other openly gay TV stars: Jesse Tyler Ferguson of Modern Family, Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory and Neil Patrick Harris of How I Met Your Mother. The fifth nominee was Darren Criss who is straight but who plays a gay character on Glee.
Ellen DeGeneres, to no one’s surprise, won the award for Favorite TV Talk Show Host. She bested Kelly Ripa & Michael Strahan, Dr. Phil McGraw, Rachael Ray and Steve Harvey.
It was the record 14th People’s Choice win for Ellen who first won in 1995 when she was starring in her ABC sitcom.
Also of LGBT interest, the Netflix hit Orange is the New Black won for Favorite Streaming Series over competition that included Arrested Development, Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis, House of Cards and Losing It with John Stamos.
