We’re sorry you’re upset the cast of Supernatural wasn’t featured on The
People’s Choice Awards. The show is comprised of 43 categories and we made
every effort to showcase a variety of categories on the network broadcast.
Unfortunately, only 14-15 of those categories can fit into a two hour television
show.
The cast of Supernatural was not invited because their acceptance speeches were
not being aired. The cast was aware of this and chose not to attend, but had
they expressed an interest in attending the show, we would have gladly provided
them with tickets

A great big thank you on behalf of the entire fandom to
the incredible Winchester Family Business for posting this statement.
I think I can speak for the Supernatural fandom in saying that we are all totally thrilled that Supernatural won 2 PCA's, one of which was favorite network drama-a biggie!! What I don't understand is why Supernatural was not invited to attend the awards or at the very least have the mention of their win as actually part of the show instead of some red carpet fluff. I mean I know I am not the only fan that missed J2's acceptance speech when it actually aired. I didn't even realize that we had won the network drama award until after because surely had we won the NETWORK DRAMA AWARD that is something that would be featured on the actual awards show. I mean think about the past winners ER, and the like. You cannot tell me that had House won or The Good Wife that it would have not been mentioned on the actual show. Seriously even if you are not a Supernatural fan to watch the People's Choice Award show without a mention of favorite Network Drama winner. Wouldn't you be wondering about who won that category. I mean as far as I know prior to this year it has always been a part of the actual awards ceremony Supernatural won a total of 2 awards one of which is a major one and yet no invitation and no even mention of the winner of the favorite NETWORK DRAMA ? Something is wrong there! I think PCA has a genre bias against Sci Fi shows and in particular our little show that could. It's almost like they are afraid to give our show and its awesome cast the attention it so rightly deserves because God forbid people watching the awards might be inclined to tune into this show that they never heard of but must be good because it won a major award like favorite network drama instead of tuning into the big 3's network shows. What really bothers me is that WE are the ones that gave the PCA all the free publicity when the voting was taking place by advertising it EVERYWHERE! Countless nights twitter and facebook were overloaded with peoples choice free publicity by all of us encouraging fans to vote for our awesome yet severely underrated and under appreciated show. I know mine was not the only page that literally plastered facebook's walls with promo posters and posts to vote for Supernatural for the Peoples Choice . EVERYONE DID!! I think that it would do the PCA well to think about that next time they leave someone off the invite list. Sorry for the long post but I am extremely passionate about our show and have always felt that it never has received the attention and appreciation that it so rightfully deserves and this snub by the PCA is just another example of that.
So with that being said I just want to conclude with:
CONGRATULATIONS SUPERNATURAL ON RECEIVING 2 PEOPLES CHOICE AWARDS:BEST NETWORK DRAMA AND BEST SCI FI SHOW!
Supernatural does rock and so does its cast and crew and fans!! WE ARE FAMILY!!
Oh and I would also like to add that I am damn proud to be a member of the Supernatural Family!!
