I put them under the cut for those who don’t want to know the winners. I only put the Twilight related winners.

Every once in a while, I get curious about something and decide to dig in and do some research. This time around it pertains to the Teen Choice Awards but not because I am really into the award show or think it is important. When I was a teen, sure I wanted to see my favorite stars and musicians win, but now that I am an adult I just got curious when I started reading comments made about the award show starting last year. It seems that with everything, there are some non-believers who dont think the voting system for the award show and other award shows is really as fair and straightforward as they try to make it out to be. Well sorry to be a downer, but they are right. Like most award shows that promote the viewers being able to vote and how it is all about the fans and their choices, that is not the whole truth. Here is the fine print that a show that uses these methods are required by law to put even if it is in tiny letters and and only shown for a second….. 

“Winners for the teen choice awards were determined through voting on the teen choice awards website. The results of the voting were tabulated electronically and confirmed by a committee of Fox representatives. Teenasaurus Rox Inc. had the right to determine the winners from among the top four vote getters of the nominees in each of 88 categories. Ultimate choice was determined solely by the producers.”

That’s right, like most award shows, a small group of people ultimately decide the winner, not the fans. It still is all about who can pull in viewers and the winners are determined more by the producers than the votes. So the top four vote getters are chosen by the fans, but the real winner might not be who the fans voted for, but instead could be the person that the producers feel is right. Right as in they are at the award show, the mention of their name brings in more people, or even that the “winner” was just a favored choice by the producers. Sometimes it can be a balancing act like by making sure the celeb gets the award, they ensure that the star and other stars are mentioned. More stars mentioned equals more fans interested. If one star dominates too much and the producers feel other fans might not like it, they step in. This happens quite often and while I am not surprised that the idea of the shows being rigged is actually the truth, I think it is nice to let others in on the secret as well. It is all about money, marketing, and yes sometimes the fans’ choice is the winner…sometimes it isnt though.

So the next time you wonder how in the world a person beat someone else out or why the person you figured would win didnt get the votes, remember that fine print. This is also why most celebs aren’t heartbroken when they aren’t chosen. We aren’t talking about a grammy, emmy, or anything of the sort, so when you watch TCA, MTV Award Shows, or any of those that talk about voting being all about the fans, I guess now you are in the know. It is a popularity contest with the big wigs deciding the fate more than the fans.

What do you think? Does that turn you off to award shows like this or are you indifferent? Leave comments and discuss!

One word YUM!

The blog is from the site Robsten Love, but you don’t have to be a Robsten fan to appreciate this post. For all of the fans who were not happy with how Edward and Bella were portrayed in the Eclipse clip shown at the MTV Movie Awards then here is a post for you. The clip in question is the one where Jacob shows up at the school on his bike and a pleading Edward has to stand by while Bella leaves with Jacob. As Twihards, we know that never at any point happened in the book and it was a blend of several scenes meshed together completely changing the meaning and importance of the scene in general, but what do you think of this post? Is the blogger posting your thoughts? Did you like the scene or think it was alright for what it was? Are Edward and Bella’s characters being changed in the movie to make the love triangle heightened to the point of completely fabricating the severity of it? Let us know your thoughts and be sure to check out the blog by clicking on the picture or source link.

MTV’s Hollywood Crush interviewed poor Peter Facinelli after the awards show:

“It’s my favorite book of the series, and it was a high watermark for me, going in to see that movie,” he shared. “It exceeded all my expectations.”

He said that his favorite part was, unsurprisingly, the big battle scene at the end, because it was nice to see the “Cullen tribe family” (we think any one of those would have worked, but he used all three) get in on the action and let their vampire nature show.

But all that talking about the upcoming film didn’t distract him from the popular theme of all the fan-voted MTV Movie Awards: appreciation for the viewers that support them.

“It’s all the fans. I’m humbly overwhelmed by their support and their love for these movies,” Peter said.

Still, if there’s one thing that he’s happy about, it’s that “The Twilight Saga” is a fairly swear-free franchise. We’re pretty sure he threw enough curses into his Best Movie acceptance speech to make the entire series rated R.

“I’ve cursed enough for a whole lifetime, and I’m going to rinse my mouth with a bar of soap now,” Peter admitted before walking away from the interview.

Of the Twilight phenomenon: “There won’t be something like this is a long time.”  Of the kiss award: “How can you compete.”
