Demi Lovato served looks while also serving as host for the night! One of the show's highlights was Lovato's grand entrance to the stage which was spaced out with a digital audience to accommodate for social distancing.
Stars who were able to attend and announce at the event were seated with masks until it was their turn to walk the runway to the empty stage.
Watch Demi Lovato make her entrance:
Who is your favorite awards show host of all time, and why is it @DDLovato? 👀 #PCAs https://t.co/nEdYV7Ydj9— E! People's Choice (@E! People's Choice)1605515079.0
Demi Lovato kicked off the show with a message to this year's unique audience:
"This is literally my favorite show of the year, and not just because I've taken home a few of these trophies myself. But, this is the only awards show decided entirely by the fans. So every winner was chosen by you. Oh and, um, don't worry. We made sure to count everyone in Pennsylvania's vote first."
She went on to joke about her experience getting engaged and using Postmates in quarantine before getting serious:
"Tonight, our presenters and winners will be here live on stage. I'm so excited to be here tonight too. In all seriousness, during all of these challenging times we found ways to stay connected and get each other through it. And that's what tonight is all about. To celebrate the people, the music, the shows, and the films that helped us get through 2020. And tonight, it's all about the people!"
Hosting the show was an exciting gig for Lovato who has been avoiding the tabloids following the end of the engagement to her ex fiancé. People watching the show at home noticed the singer was GLOWING.
As explained by the hostess, all the winners for the night were chosen by the people.
Here's some of the top award winners:

"If you just keep digging, my god if you could just hear me right now. Just keep digging. You may be four inches away from every gift and every blessing that you've ever wanted in your life. Had I given up when I was homeless, when I was sleeping in my car, when I was hungry. Had I given up, these people that you see on this screen right now would not be a part of my dream. They are people that are tied into your dream and your destiny. You are worthy of getting to your goal. Keep digging."
