I googled it too thinking it was made up. But apparently it's People Magazine bull crap. So it is real and also a promotion for the movie. It said it's based on public polling and opinion. Basically they can say whatever they want.

You know if it was a real internet poll Lady McWomanface would have been the winner. A former baseball executive said any of those fan poll “winners” are just the choice they wanted, and they picked someone who suggested that choice as the winner.

Are you questioning the legitimacy of Blake Shelton being 2017’s Sexiest Man Alive?!

I’ve always like to imagine there is a single person working for People whose job is just to salivate over pictures of people all year and then say which ones they liked the best

Public polling aka a check from the PR team

Yeah when they are very vague about how it's done they can just do whatever they want.
