Who needs an Oscar, when you can get a People's Choice statue.
It's probably safe to assume that "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" won't be shortlisted for a Best Picture Academy Award, but the latest film in the vampire franchise is poised to rack up People's Choice awards.
Showing its, shall we say, democratic tastes, "Eclipse" received eight nominations on Wednesday. Among the awards its up for are Favorite On-Screen Team nods for Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner and Favorite Movie Actor and Actress nods for the threesome.
Also showing muscle were blockbusters "Inception," "Iron Man 2," and "Alice in Wonderland," all of which scored nominations for their leading men and will vie for a Favorite Movie award against "Eclipse."
On the television side, "Grey's Anatomy" may have lost its watercooler status a couple of seasons ago, but it was the day's big winner. The medical drama is up for six awards, including three nominations for favorite TV doctor.
For its music nominations, the awards shortlisted chart toppers such as Eminem, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Carrie Underwood.
Queen Latifah is set to host the show at the Nokia Theatre. The ceremony will be broadcast live on CBS on Jan. 6.
