The incredibly inane, but nevertheless mainstream representative, People's Choice Awards have nominated some impressive women and films in their categories this year;
Abbie Cornish, of Bright Star, for fave breakout star; Christine Jeffs' Sunshine Cleaning, Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker and Jane Campion's Bright Star for fave independent films; Catherine Hardwicke's Twilight as fave film; and the Barrymore-directed Whip It's Ellen Page, Eve and Kristen Wiig as best onscreen pairing. Not to mention the Charlaine Harris-created True Blood, the Eliza Dushku-produced Dollhouse, and female-watched Ghost Whisperer as fave sci-fi/fantasy shows. True Blood, not surprisingly, appears in the TV Obsession category.

Did you know YOU can vote right here? You're people, and you can choose stuff.

Do you love/hate Drew Barrymore the way we do? Well, she's finally doing something cooler than kung-fu female power karate chops while smiling with her "looks like I had a stroke" mouth.
