The Fast & The Furious family remains unstoppable.

Furious 7 picked up awards for Favorite Movie and Favorite Action Movie at the People's Choice Awards, and Vin Diesel accepted the award on behalf of the tight-knit cast. The tough guy promised himself he wouldn't get emotional, but you know how that always goes.

"It was a labor of love, and my only message to you is, you’d be amazed at what you can do with love. You'd be amazed at how powerful force that is," Diesel said on what it was like to work on the movie after Paul Walker's death. "When we didn't want to go back to filming when the tragedy was too heavy, it was the love of everyone combined that saw us through to the end."
