See Which Rockers Got Nominated for 2022 People’s Choice Awards

Though the People's Choice Awards tend to lean toward celebrating pop music, there are a few rock acts who were recognized when the nominations for the 2022 ceremony were revealed on Wednesday (Oct. 26).

Maneskin, continuing their run of award show nominations, will be one of the acts vying for "The group of 2022." They've enjoyed a banner year based off the breakout success of 2021's Teatro d'ira: Vol. 1 album. The year has also seen their momentum continue to build with the non-album singles "Mammamia" and "Supermodel" this year, with their latest track "The Loneliest" just arriving earlier this month.

Panic! at the Disco will also be up for "The group of 2022," due in part to their 2022 album Viva Las Vengeance. In addition to the title track lead single, the album features such standout cuts as "Middle of a Breakup," "Local God" and "Don't Let the Lights Go Out."

The two bands are joined in the "Group of 2022" category by BTS, 5 Seconds of Summer, Blackpink, Coldplay, Imagine Dragons and OneRepublic.

Rock ended up being shut out of the Male, Female, Song and Album categories, but one rocker did earn a People's Choice nod in an acting category. Ice-T, of Body Count, is up for the "Male TV Star of 2022" for his long-running role as Odafin "Fin" Tutuola on NBC's Law & Order: SVU.

A full rundown of all the nominees can be viewed below. The winners will be announced on NBC and E! on Tuesday, Dec. 6, at 9PM ET/PT from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. Fans are able to vote in all categories here or via Twitter by sending a send a public tweet or retweet and including one category hashtag and one corresponding nominee hashtag.
