Got this question burning in my brain today: what category did Sydney Sweeney even get nominated for at the People’s Choice Awards? Saw some buzz online, figured I’d settle it for myself. Felt like a quick fact-check.

Grabbed my laptop, cracked open the browser, and headed straight to what I thought was the official People’s Choice Awards website. Searched her name on their nominations page. Boom, her name popped up.
First thought? Drama TV Star, obviously. She’s huge in Euphoria and The White Lotus, right?
Scrolled down the list under “TV” categories… Drama TV Star… nope, not there. Huh. Checked again. Double-checked. Nada. That threw me. Scratched my head.
“Okay,” I mumbled, “Maybe Comedy? But her big shows aren’t exactly sitcoms…” Scanned the Comedy TV Star nominees. Definitely not Sydney. Weird.
Then it hit me. Movie categories! She was in Anyone But You recently. Dug into the “Movie” section next.

- Movie Performance of the Year? Looked… nope.
- Action Movie Star? Nah, not her thing.
- Drama Movie Star? Searched… nope.
- Comedy Movie Star? Scrolled… wait… THERE! Sydney Sweeney. Listed right alongside Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence… all the heavy hitters.
Felt a little silly it wasn’t under TV. But hey, that rom-com did really well! Made sense the fans voted her in there for the comedy movie performance.
Didn’t trust just one source though. That’s how mistakes happen. Hopped over to a couple of major entertainment news sites I usually check – Deadline, Variety, y’know the reliable ones. Scanned their articles listing the nominees. Confirmed every time:
- Movie Category
- Comedy Movie Star
- Sydney Sweeney listed
Phew. Case closed. Not TV Drama like I initially assumed, but Movie Comedy for Anyone But You. Fans digging the rom-com vibe, clearly. Filed the knowledge away, closed the browser tabs. Mission accomplished. Feels good to nail down the details properly. Time for a sandwich.
