“The Twilight Saga” has enough Teen Choice Awards to open its own surf shop. The powerhouse movie franchise, which began in 2008, increased its surfboard-shaped trophies total to 41 after Sunday’s awards show. In addition to this year’s batch of boards, “Twilight” was honored with the ultimate choice award, the show’s version of a lifetime achievement award.

This year, 134 million votes were cast for the 14th annual awards, Nominees and winners after the jump.

Teen Choice: Katy and Lots of Vampires

August 9th, 2010 | Posted by James K in Television - (0 Comments)

article 1301456 0ABB91B1000005DC 583 634x444 522x365 Teen Choice: Katy and Lots of Vampires

Fox televises the Teen Choice Awards tonight but there won’t be any suspense. The show was taped on Sunday night and the winners are out. But the lack of drama doesn’t matter to the producers. They’re more interested in viewers and are hoping to lure more older teens (not to mention us perpetual teens.) Rolling Stone cover girl Katy Perry was chosen to host with the men of “Glee” on a set that resembles a dance club with a house DJ keeping things moving. Fun, fun, fun… and maybe someone will do something a little bit wild — like Miley Cyrus pole dancing on last year’s show.

The winners? As expected, the vampires cleaned up with “The Twilight Saga” (11 awards) and “The Vampire Diaries” (8 awards) stocking up on surfboards. Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift each won four awards.

Noteworthy:

  • Lady Gaga topped Swift and Miley Cyrus for Choice Female Singer.
  • Robert Pattison won Choice Drama Movie Actor for “Remember Me.”
  • “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” beat “Jersey Shore” for Choice Reality TV Show. They also took down Snooki for Female Star.
  • “Pretty Little Liars” swept the Summer TV awards.
  • “NCIS: Los Angeles” surprised in Choice TV Drama.
  • “Date Night” won Choice Movie Comedy.
  • Selena Gomez and the Scene took Choice Music Group over the Black Eyed Peas and the “Glee” cast.
  • See all the award winners.

See the rest…
