Some of the biggest names in TV, film and music stepped out in Los Angeles Wednesday (January 7) for the 2015 People’s Choice Awards — a ceremony where winners were hand-picked by fans.

The first award of the night went to JCA alum Melissa McCarthy ’88 for favorite comedic movie actress. “I want to thank the fans that go out and buy movie tickets and allow me to do what I do. Thanks for the job,” the “Mike and Molly” actress said. “Without you I would not have a job and I’m going to stick around as long as you have me.”
