It shouldn’t come as any surprise that the first wave of the Teen Choice Award nominees announced today were dominated by “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” “Glee” and Justin Bieber.
Unleashing a lengthy list of categories — enough to rival the Olympics — the Teen Choice Awards seem to be honoring just about every popular movie, TV show and musical artist of the past year.
The movie categories belong to mega-hits like “Fast Five,” “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Eclipse,” whose Robert Pattinson is also nominated for “Water For Elephants.” Interestingly, “Hangover Part II” was snubbed in the comedy category (good news for “Little Fockers”!), but received multiple noms in acting categories, including acknowledgment of Ed Helms’ onscreen hissy fit. The horror category is made up entirely of sequels and/or remakes.
“Glee,” “Bones,” “Gossip Girl” and “Vampire Diaries,” and “Wizards of Waverly Place” star Selena Gomez all cleaned up nicely in the TV section, where “American Idol” and “The Voice” will go head-to-head in two categories. Bieber even got a nod in TV land as well, for his villainous turn on “CSI.”
In music, Bieber, Lady Gaga, Cee Lo Green, Taylor Swift and Adele all received numerous nods. Bieber gets the dubious honor of being considered Best Male Artist, Male Hottie and Choice Twit — competing in that category against Ashton Kutcher, Demi Lovato and more. Teens can be so fickle.
Teen idols have never just been actual teenagers, but it’s still amusing to see such middle-aged “teen idols” as Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Carla Cugino, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper and even Ian McShane on the list.
Look for some of these stars and more when the two-hour awards show airs live Sunday, August 7 at 8:00 pm ET live (tape-delayed for PT) on FOX.
Fans ages 13-19 can vote once a day per each category at the Teen Choice Awards site. The show’s performers, presenters and additional nominees (!) will be announced soon.
