Sherlock
star Benedict Cumberbatch stars in the drama about the British code breaker who
helped decrypt the Enigma machine during World War Two.
In
a message, director Morten Tyldum said it was "an amazing honor" to
win the prize.
"For
film fans to support the Imitation Game means so much to me, the entire cast
and film-making team," he said.
Turing
was credited with bringing about the end of the war and saving hundreds of
thousands of lives after decoding German Naval messages.
He
is also considered to be the founding father of the modern-day computer.
However
his later life was overshadowed after a conviction in 1952 for gross indecency
when homosexuality was illegal in Britain
He
was chemically castrated and committed suicide in 1954.
Earlier
this week Tyldum described the film as "a tribute to being different".
Winners
of the People's Choice award - voted for by the public - have previously gone
on to win the Oscar for best picture, including The King's Speech, Slumdog
Millionaire and last year's 12 Years a Slave.
The
Imitation Game's victory suggests it may feature prominently in this coming
awards' season.
