Blake Lively
After five nominations, Blake Lively has taken home her first People's Choice Award for Favorite Dramatic Actress for her role in The Shallows, and she used her speech to thank the Spice Girls.
Lively credited them for teaching her about girl power when she was a little kid. "I was always an ambitious kid, so I set a goal for myself… And I knew if I could accomplish it that I would be successful, and I would be happy. And that was to meet the Spice Girls," Lively said, noting that she still hasn't met all of them.
"What was so neat about them is that they were all so distinctly different. And they were women, and they owned who they were, and that was my first introduction to girl power," Lively continued.
The Gossip Girl actress thanked fans not only for voting for her to win the People's Choice Award, but for voting for a strong female character. "And I'm watching this movie and the women nominated in this category, and when you guys voted for this, you didn't just vote for this movie, or for me, but you voted for girl power," she said.
