Chris Pratt's Onward Wins People's Choice Award After Controversial Tweet
People.com: Chris Pratt's controversial plea for the vote worked at this year's People's Choice Awards.
The actor's Pixar movie Onward took home the award for family movie of 2020 at Sunday's show, hosted by Demi Lovato.
The win comes after Pratt, 41, faced some backlash for his Instagram post last month in which he poked fun at celebrities who urge their fans to vote. Pratt made the post leading up to the 2020 presidential election.
Sharing a movie poster for the animated film, the father of two wrote in the caption, "With all that's going on in the world it is more important than ever that you vote. Just ask any celebrity."
He continued, "They will tell you. Every day. Several times a day. To vote. But me? I will tell you EXACTLY who to vote for. #onward The heroes before us did not spill their blood only to have their sacrifices wasted by your apathy. The upcoming 2020 People's Choice Awards is the most consequential vote in the history of mankind times a million infinity."
"Vote for #Onward for family movie of the year. Or else. You WILL die. No hyperbole," he added. "Click the link in my bio. Let your voice be heard."
