On Feb. 11, 2009, when Joaquin Phoenix made his infamous monosyllabic, grunged-out appearance on "Late Show With David Letterman," it inspired an orgy of media gossip fueled by a basic question: Was Phoenix having some sort of mental breakdown -- or was his whole shambling, beatnik-derelict routine an elaborate hoax?

Joaquin Phoenix may have been named favorite leading man during Tuesday's People's Choice Awards, but the actor wasn't feeling too chatty about the honor. Sure, he was grateful. But in his taped acceptance speech, Phoenix nodded to the ongoing writers' strike – which forced producers to retool the show – by using cards to broadcast his message. "I'm speechless without the writers," his cards read. "Seriously. But in my own quiet way, I want to thank the millions of fans that voted for me for favorite leading man." The actor then mumbled a quick "thank you" at the end of his printed message.–Brian Orloff
Although the writers' strike continues to slow down the award season, on Tuesday night the people were heard – and not just in New Hampshire.
