People’s Choice Awards 2011
The People’s Choice Awards nominees are in, and I’d say I’m mostly happy with the results. One can not be too happy with the nominations mind you, because then my alliances may have to be tested if fandoms share the same categories.
But it’s always nice to see that the things you like are liked by others, too. Oh, and anyone who thought vampires were on their way out, well sorry, but not quite yet.
Twilight is of course leading the way with 8 nominations including favorite movie actor and actress, favorite onscreen team, favorite movie stars under 25, and favorite movie and favorite drama movie.
Then, there’s my other vampire favorite, The Vampire Diaries scored nominations for favorite tv drama and favorite sci-fi/fantasy show. Ian Somerhalder is also nominated cause he’s apparently a fan favorite. Not saying he doesn’t do good work, but yeah. Noticeably absent however is Nina Dobrev. She’s playing two very different roles this year and she can’t even get a nomination? Fandom, you have failed us all.
Oh, and Fringe is also nominated for favorite sci-fi/fantasy show. And I’m also very happy to see Nikita under favorite new tv drama. Are you seeing what I mean about alliances?
Probably the most successful movie this year, Inception was nominated for four awards: favorite movie, favorite action movie, favorite drama movie, and favorite onscreen team. And The Social Network also got a nomination for favorite drama. It’s strange since the movie is not only fan favorite for the year, but also a critical darling. I don’t think that happens too often.
Toy Story 3 is also nominated for favorite movie and favorite family movie, and I’m curious to see how it’ll do in other award ceremonies. Plus, Chloe Moretz who really became known this year has two movies in the running, Let Me In and Kick-Ass.
So, what are you guys happy or unhappy about with this year’s People’s Choice nominations?
