Roberts set for 10th People award

Julia Roberts looks on course to win her 10th award for favourite female movie star at this year's People's Choice Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles.
Roberts is up against Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Reese Witherspoon and Charlize Theron for the award.
George Clooney is competing for the title of favourite male movie star with Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington and Tom Cruise. Roberts and Clooney will next be seen on screen together in Ocean's Twelve.
The awards, which honour achievements in film, TV and music, are voted for by the American public.
In a change from previous years, Entertainment Weekly recruited a group of 6,000 readers to nominate their favourites from pre-selected candidates in various categories. The top five in each category then became nominees.
The 31st People's Choice awards will also include new categories, including favourite movie, movie drama, smile and cartoon star.
The nominees in the film categories include Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet.
Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 is also nominated, as are animated feature The Incredibles and Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ.
Other award categories include favourite TV comedy and favourite TV drama.
The awards will be hosted by Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Jason Alexander, who star in the CBS sitcom Listen Up.
