Watch Iggy Azalea make the crowd Beg For It in her stunning performance at the People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles. The “Black Widow” rapper was named Favourite Hip-Hop Artist beating Jay Z, Drake, T.I. and, yes, Nicki Minaj! Iggy gave the most visually arresting performance of the evening. The stage set was styled a la De Stijl – all sharp angles and bright primary colours.

On Wednesday evening (January 7) the biggest names in Hollywood gathered at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles for the 41st Annual People’s Choice Awards, hosted by Anna Faris and Allison Janney, with celebrity guests Ellen DeGeneres, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams and Melissa McCarthy. At these awards the winners are chosen completely by fans. Performances came from Iggy Azalea, Lady Antebellum and Fall Out Boy.
Just before naming Iggy the winner of Favourite Hip-Hop artist presenter Monica Potter, as part of a joke with Dax Shepard, listed a few mangled rapper names like “Snoopy Dogg” and “Dr. Drew.” and “Igloo Australia” – which was the derogatory moniker that Azalia Banks had branded Iggy with on a recent Twitter feud. In true star style, Iggy brushed off the reference and thanked her fans assuring them that the award was “not wasted on me.”

Aside from Iggy’s great performance, one of our favourite parts of the show was when Ben Affleck receiving a special humanitarian honour. Amy Adams presented him with the Favourite Humanitarian Award for his extensive work with the East Congo Initiative.
“Sometimes the world is just a terrible and scary place,” he said during his acceptance speech. “But one thing I learned by watching people… is trying to do just a little bit…the one way to combat the sad things we see… is to try to bring a little bit of kindness into the world.”
