Bullock, Timberlake sweep 2014 People’s Choice Awards By Piya Sinha-Roy LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Sandra Bullock swept the 40th People’s Choice awards on Wednesday with four wins, cementing her status as a favorite among the fan-selected winners, while singer Justin Timberlake dominated the music categories with three wins. Bullock, 49, picked up three awards for favorite movie actress, dramatic movie actress and comedy movie actress for her roles in existential space drama “Gravity” and in female buddy-comedy “The Heat.” She also won favorite movie duo alongside her “Gravity” co-star George Clooney, while the film won favorite drama movie. I got to work with Melissa McCarthy on ‘The Heat.’ … And on ‘Gravity,’ the nicest people in the world would string me up and leave me there, and I still had an amazing time,” the Oscar-winning actress said. Bullock later joined McCarthy on stage to pick up the favorite comedy movie award for “The Heat.” Singer Timberlake, 32, who returned to the musical spotlight in 2013 with the two-part release of “The 20/20 Experience” after more than five years away to focus on his acting, picked up three awards including favorite album.
