LOS ANGELES (AP)

Sandra Bullock cleaned up at the 40th annual People's Choice Awards, taking home four trophies as the evening's top winner.

Bullock was named favorite movie, comedic and dramatic actress, and she shared the favorite movie duo award with "Gravity" co-star George Clooney.

Fans deemed Ellen DeGeneres their favorite daytime TV host, making her the woman who has won the most People's Choice Awards with a total of 14 trophies.

"Iron Man 3" scored three awards, including Robert Downey Jr.'s nod as favorite action movie star. Justin Timberlake also nabbed three prizes, and the cast of "The Big Bang Theory" was named favorite TV comedy.

Jennifer Hudson received the humanitarian award for her work with children.

"2 Broke Girls" stars Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs hosted the show at the Nokia Theatre.

The awards are determined by fans.

"As a young girl growing up in New Orleans, if anyone would have told me I was going to win 14 People's Choice Awards, I ... I mean 12, yes. Thirteen? Maybe. But 14?" joked DeGeneres, who said she wanted to make "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" the show for everyone - old, young, black, white, gay or straight.

"As a matter of fact, just yesterday I was talking to this lovely African-American woman and she told me she was single and she works 80 hours a week to get by and she looked forward to coming home every night and watching me, and that woman's name is Oprah Winfrey. I think I am doing something right."

"The Heat" was chosen as favorite comedic movie.

Timberlake picked up an award for favorite album, "The 20/20 Experience." He thanked his "beautiful wife," Jessica Biel, "for teaching me patience and the little things like just putting the dishes in the dishwasher. It goes a long way. Fellas, you're welcome."

A pregnant Drew Barrymore, who joked that DeGeneres had called her fat backstage, presented her "Blended" co-star, Adam Sandler, with the comedic movie actor award.

After debuting her talk show "The Queen Latifah Show" in 2013, fans crowned Queen Latifah their favorite new talk show host.

Hosts Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs kicked off the show with a gut-busting set of wisecracks. Dennings' dry delivery cutely blended with the Behrs' quirky disposition, making the stars of hit show "2 Broke Girls" a savvy riot.

With help from fellow actors Ian Somerhalder, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Arsenio Hall, Ian Ziering, Kaley Cuoco and Christina Aguilera, Dennings and Behrs, who play waitresses on their show, took the orders of some of these nominees for a hilarious introductory skit.
