   Roberts took home the favorite motion picture actress award. Hanks wen favorite motion picture actor and favorite dramatic motion picture actor, beating out last year’s dual winner, Mel Gibson.
   "People, love, and understanding. Thank you, everybody "Hanks said in his acceptance speech. "I’ m a lucky man... I have a great job and I get to do it often enough to get me out of the house on school nights."
   N Sync. Faith Hill and Garth Brooks were named favorite musicians.
   The awards are decided through a public opinion poll conducted by Gallup. Favorite TV shows included ER. Friends. My Wife and Kids and Survivor: The Australian Outback.
   The 28th annual People’s Choice Awards took its cue from the Emmys. In apparent reaction to the Sept. 11 attacks, it was a subdued affair. Dressy business attire took the place of formal wear as performers from movies, television, and music came together to allow the public to honor them.
   This year, people were allowed to vote online in two categories -- favorite new television comedy series and favorite new drama.
   The star of King of Queens Kevin James hosted the affair and provided comic relief. One of his funnier bits came when he donned a swan dress, á la Blork at last year’s Oscars, although he maintained he had the outfit first. A video clip was shown featuring him shopping, golfing and hanging out in the swan ensemble.
