The Guys Choice (formerly known as Spike Guys Choice Awards) was an awards show produced by the Viacom cable channel Spike from 2007 to 2016. The winners were originally chosen based on voting by the channel's fans and viewers until 2015, when the show started presenting the honorees.
The trophy for the award was a golden pair of antlers on a wooden pedestal, symbolizing the stag.
Categories
Categories varied from year to year. Examples of categories awarded more than twice were "Guy of the Year", "Jean-Claude Gahd Dam", "Biggest Ass Kicker", "Decade of Hotness", "Funniest M.F.", "Guy Movie Hall of Fame", "Guy Movie of the Year", and "Most Unstoppable Jock".
Slightly different variants of the "Hottest (Insert Girl's Name)" category also tended to recur.

The show featured performances by Carmen Electra and Tricia Helfer, ZZ Top and appearances by Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler, who won the Guy's Guy award, voted for by Spike viewers. Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn were also present to accept the Guy Movie Hall of Fame Award for their cult bachelor movie Swingers.
