(Newser) – Vampires were big winners at last night’s People’s Choice Awards, with Twilight, True Blood, and The Vampire Diaries all taking home trophies. Mariah Carey, helped to the stage by husband Nick Cannon to accept her Favorite R&B Artist award, later addressed the question of whether or not she was drunk when accepting her last award at the Palm Springs Film Festival by saying, “Everybody in the club gettin' tipsy,” Popsugar reports.

Johnny Depp won Actor of the Decade, as presenter Sacha Baron Cohen thanked him for—as Willy Wonka—making it “acceptable for creepy middle-aged men to approach children and offer them candy,” and, in the upcoming Alice in Wonderland, making it similarly okay for “creepy middle-aged men to invite young girls around for tea and offer them hallucinogenic drugs,” E! reports.

I don't know who half the people under 30 in these photos are. Guess I don't watch enough TV.
