The fanatics/dorks/geeks of every movie/tv-movie star voted on an award show about their entusiasm of what they liked the most during 2006. Such is life.
Darn, I missed a year. 
And yet everyone seems to refer to "SW fans" in the third person... as if they were over there, stashed in a box in the corner.
I guess thats what I get for being stashed in a box in the corner.

I was funny how he basically gave the critics and the hollywood studios an obvious verbal finger, without lifting a finger!

Anybody have a link that's got Lucas talking smack/alluding to talking smack about the film industry? I'd love to see it.

Yeah, same here. I missed the awards, unfortunately.

Yes!!! Finally!!! On the third and final prequel, justice is given. This is truely like a dream come true for me. After all of the bashing, "worst of" awards and such the first two got and even a mild backlash here recently by a few publications for ROTS, this award feels SO GOOD to have. And to have even beaten Batman Begins...wow!!
Is there anyway some of us who missed the airing last night see clips of this??? I would love to.

That's what I'm wondering, too. I'd love to see our main man accepting his awards from Harrison. Feel pretty sick that I missed it.

It was great. Lucas talked about how this is the award he cares about, because ultimately he makes his movies for "the people". He added "Critics Schmitics".
Also Rotten Tomatoes did a comparison between reviews for the prequels and the classic trilogy from the time of their original release, and found the prequels actually ended up being better reviewed.
See for yourself: The Prequels were better reveiwed than the classic trilogy.

I'm happy for everyone involved in 'Sith' that they got this reward. But really, even if it was voted the worst film of the year by every critic and awards progam in the world, it still wouldn't change my view of the film.
Good or bad, I develop my own opineons on the quality of a film. I could care less is IMDB praises or balks a film. At the same time I use their website to investigate filmographies and get news and updates about what people in the industry are working on.
The only use I have for critics is to help me wade through the bulk of bad movies for the benefit of time spent well. But if a film project appeals to me, I'll see it no matter what critics think or say.
That being said, I feel the People's Choice awards are a joke. I put more stock in the Oscars because those who select nominations have the experience to recognise growth in the film medium as well as cliche' and elements such as originality and script design. But like anything else, there are political elements to consider that seldom have anything to do with the quality of the film except perhaps the subject matter and those who made it.
I commend those in film for their grace in showing up and saying thanks and all that, but apart from that, the award means nothing. Just because a movie is popular doesn't mean it's a quality film. Approaching film in terms of popularity is like defining it in terms of fashion. It's great today, but tomorrow it's a laughing stock.

First of all..really cool that ROTS won two awards last night. It may be awards "lite" but they are awards nontheless and on some level a certain portion of the populace enjoys his work and if you beleive Lucas..he really is pleased with this. I say well done and it really is a nice bookend to the SW series; cause as a friend of mine said..(this years blockbuster and best picture nominee....King Kong;this was saracastically of course) will win all the tech awards and I agree..I'll be surprised it ROTS wins anything. So I think it's great.
now Second of all. 24 hours later..ET, access hollywood, extra, showbiz tonight, E news,...the big story of the People's choice Awards??? freakin Jessica Simpson and her awful singing of her "Grammy winning"???????? rendition of "these boots"??? WTH?? Lucas is crapped on by the media AGAIN by.....Jessica Simpson of all people. Unbelievable!!!

I guess a lot of people are ignoring the fact that overall, according to several sources, rottentomatoes, imdb, yahoo movies, boxofficemojo.com member voting. ROTS got over 80 percent good reviews.

The Oscars are when bunch of people pretty much vote for themselves right?
