Rihanna nominated for People’s Choice Awards

CALIFORNIA, United States, Friday November 22, 2013 – It comes as no surprise that Barbados’ pop princess Rihanna has once again bagged a nomination for the People’s Choice Awards in the Favourite R&B Artist category.

The big question is whether or not the Diamonds girl can snag the award and secure an enviable hat trick, having already taken the title for two consecutive years.

Last year’s glitzy event at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre saw the Talk That Talk star walking the walk as she swept ahead of Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Bruno Mars and Usher to take the Favourite R&B Artist accolade for the second time.

This year, the Bajan songbird will again face-off with Alicia Keys, along with Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke, both of whom have earned nominations in multiple categories. Adding spice to the mix is Ciara, who will double as a presenter at the 40th staging of the annual awards.

If there’s safety in numbers, Katy Perry should roar triumphantly with five music nominations, as should Justin Timberlake who leads the guys with five nods of his own.

Noticeably absent from this year’s nominations is Trinidad-born rapper Nicki Minaj, who beat out all the boys last year to secure the Favourite Hip-Hop Artist title.

In movies, America’s sweetheart Sandra Bullock has five nominations, including two for Favourite Duo (one with Gravity co-star George Clooney and the other with The Heat’s Melissa McCarthy).

Oprah Winfrey is up for an award for her work in Lee Daniels’ The Butler; Dancing With the Stars is nominated, and so are Ross Matthews, Britney Spears and Game of Thrones.

Robin Williams is an especially notable nominee. He won his first People’s Choice Award in 1979 for Favourite Actor in a New TV Series for Mork & Mindy — and now he’s competing in the same category again 34 years later for his role on The Crazy Ones.

The 40th Annual People’s Choice Awards will air live on CBS on January 8, 2014 at 9 p.m. ET.
