2008 Teen Choice Awards Nominations

By fred | June 17, 2008

A new edition of the Teen Choice Awards is coming, and the nominations have been announced. The show, hosted this year by “teen sensation” Miley Cyrus will take place on August 4, 2008 and air on Fox at 8.00

The lead this year is without a doubt The CW’s new show Gossip Girl, confirming that while it may not do wonders in ratings (according to Nielsen at least), the show is extremely popular among its target audience, at the very least. The press release indicates no less than 14 nominations for the show (though I only counted 12, but who cares, right?)

I won’t list the entire list of nominees, focusing only of what we care about here : TV stuff. And while I know that this is the TCA, so I didn’t really expect Life to be nominated for best drama (though it deserves every possible award), some choice are a bit off nevertheless…

(In italic are my own votes.)

Choice TV Show: Drama

Friday Night Lights
Gossip Girl
Grey’s Anatomy
House
One Tree Hill

Though all signs indicate that Gossip Girl will be a winner here, and it’d be surprising if it wasn’t…

Choice TV Show: Action Adventure

Heroes
Lost
Prison Break
Smallville
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Question: how the Hell could Heroes be nominated, still, after such a crappy season ?? Same question goes with Prison Break BTW. Or Smallville. I guess Supernatural doesn’t classify, right? Yeah…

Choice TV Show: Comedy

Desperate Housewives
Hannah Montana
How I Met Your Mother
Two And A Half Men

Hannah Montana ? Desperate Housewives, a comedy ? Yeah, okay, why no love for The Office or 30 Rock ? Bt who cares, they got the winner and it’s all that matters : Go Barney!

Choice TV Actor: Drama

Chace Crawford - Gossip Girl
Chad Michael Murray - One Tree Hill
Patrick Dempsey - Grey’s Anatomy
Penn Badgley - Gossip Girl
Taylor Kitsch - Friday Night Lights

Yeah, I’m not even sure who to vote for here. How old do you have to be to appreciate the awesomeness of Life, really ? Or the terrific work of Damian Lewis ? Talking of excellent British import, where’s the amazing Hugh Laurie ??

Choice TV Actress: Drama

Blake Lively - Gossip Girl
Hilarie Burton - One Tree Hill
Katherine Heigl - Grey’s Anatomy
Leighton Meester - Gossip Girl
Sophia Bush - One Tree Hill

Holy Frack! They dared to nominate Katherine Heigl ! Isn’t she gonna take her name out, or were the writers of Grey’s Anatomy doing a good enough job for the TCA, because the TCA is crap not like the Emmy’s where they totally watch TV, totally…

Choice TV Actor: Action Adventure

Josh Holloway - Lost
Matthew Fox - Lost
Milo Ventimiglia - Heroes
Tom Welling - Smallville
Wentworth Miller - Prison Break

How is it exactly that you can nominate two people from the cast of Lost, yet not include the one guy who made the show and totally stole this season : Michael Emerson !?? Please… Like Milo Ventimiglia or Tom Welling were worth mentioning (this season)…

Choice TV Actress: Action Adventure

Hayden Panettiere - Heroes
Ali Larter - Heroes
Evangeline Lily - Lost
Kristen Kreuk - Smallville

I love my Glaubot as much as anyone, but Evangeline Lilly did such a great work on this season of Lost…

Choice TV Actor: Comedy

Barry Watson - Samantha Who?
Charlie Sheen - Two And A Half Men

Choice TV: Breakout Show

Gossip Girl
Miss Guided
Samantha Who?
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Again, Gossip Girl will probably win, but I have to go with Terminator, because it could have easily been crap, and it turned out pretty good. Still, Miss Guided?? And apart from a strong lead-in, what did Samantha Who? ever had??

Blake Lively - Gossip Girl
Leighton Meester - Gossip Girl
Olivia Wilde - House
