People's Choice Awards

Bryce Hall is clapping back at Billie Eilish after she was heard wondering why a bunch of TikTok stars were at the People's Choice Awards ... sarcastically apologizing for her disgust.

The internet superstar responded to Billie on, where else, TikTok ... jokingly saying he was sorry for not acknowledging her greatness or bowing down to her at the award show they both attended.

As we reported ... Billie was filmed chatting with fellow singer Kylie Minogue at Sunday's People's Choice Awards when cameras caught her pointing out that there was a bunch of TikTokers in the house.

Billie was clearly not a fan of the TikTok contingent ... which included Bryce, Tana Mongeau, Chris Olsen, Gigi Gorgeous, Alix Earle and James Charles ... among others.

Bryce says he and the rest of his TikTok pals were invited ... so Billie should direct her anger at the folks running the PCAs instead of the TikTok generation.

The response is dripping with sarcasm ... he also wipes away a fake tear and bows to Billie.

What's more, Bryce says he was a huge Billie supporter ... but now the incident has him rethinking his fandom, and he says he's not going to be posting TikToks with her music anymore.

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

The People's Choice Awards and the BAFTAs weren't on the same page this year ... with such different winners, it just goes to show -- awards season is unpredictable as hell.

Margot Robbie strutted away with Best Actress for "Barbie" at the PCAs in L.A while Emma Stone snagged the same honor for "Poor Things" at the UK's BAFTAs -- both of which went down on Sunday, BTW.

Then we have Best Actor ... Ryan Gosling Ken-ergized his way to victory on the west coast, while across the pond, Cillian Murphy walked away with the prize for "Oppenheimer."

For Best Film, "Oppenheimer" won at BAFTAs, while "Barbie" stole the show at the PCAs.

Christopher Nolan's directing for "Oppenheimer" earned him a trophy in the British capital, but interestingly there wasn't a directing category at the PCAs -- but if there was, it's safe to say, it'd go to, drumroll please ... Greta Gerwig for "Barbie!!"

In fact, life in plastic was so fantastic for "Barbie" at the People's Choice that it walked away with most of the awards it was up for. But, the movie couldn't catch a break at the BAFTAs ... losing out on all five of its nominations and getting completely shut out.

Of course, the People's Choice winners are picked by average everyday folks -- a popularity contest, really -- in contrast to the academy members ... and given the record-breaking numbers "Barbie" pulled last summer, it's no surprise it reigned supreme at the event.

Tom Hiddleston got a quiet shout-out as a famous ex of Taylor Swift's at the People's Choice Awards -- but the dude took it in stride and was all smiles ... which kinda speaks volumes.

The actor was among many famous faces on hand Sunday during the broadcast -- and while host Simu Liu was making a Swifite joke ... the cameras cut to Tom right at the tail end of it, but he wasn't a sourpuss about it. If anything, he was quite the good sport!

Here's what happened ... Simu was doing his monologue, and at one point in his remarks -- he shouted a movie this year about a blonde who got everyone to dress up and dance.

No, he wasn't referring to "Barbie" -- as he jokingly noted, it was the "Eras" tour movie.

That got a big laugh, especially as Simu continued to lean into the fact that he was a Swiftie before he was ever cast in "Barbie" ... and while he was finishing his gag, Tom's face popped up on the screen -- seemingly without his knowledge, but it certainly felt like a choice.

We'll admit, if producers just wanted to show him for his connection to Taylor -- they briefly dated in the summer of 2016 -- it didn't really make sense, especially in the context of what was being said. Simu was talking about her "1989" album, which TH has nothing to do with.

Again, though ... the homeboy wasn't weird about it either. That's probably because his little fling with Taylor is one of a few relationships of hers that ended somewhat amicably ... so he can be in a room with Taylor's name being thrown and not be bent out of shape.

Billie Eilish seemed to speak some truth at the People's Choice Awards this weekend -- namely, openly wondering why a bunch of social media "stars" were among real A-listers.

The singer was filmed chatting with Kylie Minogue behind the scenes at the award show in L.A. Sunday -- and she could be heard pointing out that there was a crap-ton of TikTokers in the building ... something she didn't look to be a huge fan of.

Watch ... BE was sitting next to KM when she made the observation -- and once she realized she was being filmed, she tried to cover up how she felt about it, unsuccessfully.

Billie could be heard noting there were some TikTok heads "over there" ... she then grimaces, shakes her head and says something to the effect of "I don't need it." Now, in terms of who exactly Billie might've been referring to, there's only a handful of suspects.

There really weren't a lot of TikTok/social media personalities on hand at the show -- and they did seem to be more filled with actual Hollywood types (mainstream actors/musicians) than viral people. But, among those who have a huge following ... Tana Mongeau, Chris Olsen, Gigi Gorgeous, Alix Earle, James Charles and maybe a couple more here and there.

That's what makes her remarks so funny ... even with the small handful of TikTokers, it was still enough to rub Billie the wrong way -- and we gotta admit, she ain't really wrong here!
