No red carpet. No fawning hosts. No celebrities. No gowns. No hairdos. No fashion faux pas. What kind of awards show is this?

"The 34th Annual People's Choice Awards" arrives at 9 tonight on CBS crippled by the writers strike, now in its ninth week.

The red carpet has been yanked, and host Queen Latifah will be doing her thing on tape.

The ceremony, which usually airs live, reportedly will featured prerecorded acceptance speeches as well as video profiles of the winners.

Actors and others involved in the entertainment industry were not expected to attend if the awards were live because they support the Writers Guild of America's strike.
