The first wave of nominees for the 2016 Teen Choice Awards (aka that thing the Internet says I’m too old to vote for, even when I clear out my browser’s entire cache) were announced Tuesday, and the list couldn’t be any less surprising.
Pretty Little Liars is leading the pack with six nominations, one for the series itself (Choice TV Show, Drama!) and additional noms for Ian Harding, Keegan Allen, Tyler Blackburn, Ashley Benson and Troian Bellisario.
The CW is also doing quite nicely with a bevy of nominations for The Vampire Diaries, The 100, The Originals, Supernatural, The Flash and Arrow.

No Shadowhunters?????
IKR?. How was that even possible?!!
I don’t even watch the show and I’m surprised. That was definitely the fandom I saw most active in voting. They had THOUSANDS of votes coming in.
Yes. Lana Parrilla. Finally. And so well deserved.
yess for greys and Eliza Taylor!
Paul and Candice! YAY!
It isn’t for Steoline it is for them individually as well Ian and kat are nominated as much as I love Candise she didn’t do anything this season worthy of an award if anything kat did a better job
I love Candice but Kat is definitely the better Actress and here and Ians acting was absolutely fantastic all Season. long.
Seriously? no Chad Ratwell or Denise Hemphill. Probably these are the Teen Choice from Earth-2
AMEN! They are the greatest.
you got to be kidding. they pulled the same stunt as last year & kicked Jensen & misha out of the actor category, again, just to hand the award to special snowflake once more. double standards much once more. why don’t give him an Oscar too while they are at it. oh wait, forgot he can’t act…
Yay, Jared Padalecki.
why wasn’t New Girl nominated???
TVD. KAT and IAN for sure, love them
PLL will continue to crush the Teen Choice Awards. Don’t know who’s hosting this year’s awards show.
Should we be worried that teens are watching: Mob Wives, Dance Moms, Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Total Divas?
I was going to say this exact same thing about Mob Wives in particular, KUWTK is stupid but I watched it as a teen (and also stopped as a teen) and I don’t know what Total Divas is.
Jared Padalecki all the way!!!!!
Not NEARLY enough of The 100! Thrilled for Eliza, though.
Grant Gustin deserves this nomination and then the win. Give the Flash it’s due, I’m begging
Agreed. I love all those shows, but Grant should win.
Pretty Little Liars continues to reign supreme. Hope it wins its 3 categories!
Ian Somerhalder and Kat Graham !!
Could we be anymore OBVIOUS on how political these selections are?!?! 3 of the 6 nominated shows are from Fox.
And, really Shades of Blue?!?! Talk about J. Lo’s publicist or team working that out..
And as a commenter pointed out, The 100 and also Shadowhunters makes more sense over Supernatural and Arrow, at least for this season.
New Girl makes more sense over Modern Family.
Taylor Lautner WTF?
I mean who takes this show seriously? It’s the same show that awarded Twilight everything. And pretty little liars wins all awards. That just shows what a joke this is. Hardly anyone with talent would even be nominated much less win
No Supergirl?
Hell Yessss ELIZA!!!!
Stephen Amell needs to be in this category…..Choice TV Actor: Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Yes, Absolutely. Joseph Morgan should not be there.
Lucifer? TVD, you’re kidding me. Low ratings and acting is poor at best. Kat Graham is the best actor on the show as compared to the others with their limited abilities. Maybe they will hire Chris Wood back. He really was a good actor as well.
Glad Gotham and Ben MacKenzie is nominated, but drama and not sci fi?
The 100 should not be nominated. It is terrible in my opinion.
Definitely Ian Somerhalder and Kat Graham!!! Kat Graham is the best there is! She friggin KILLED it so why the hell not!?!
KAT GRAHAM AND IAN SOMERHALDER!!!!! These two were AMAZING especially Kat
Troian Bellisario all the way.
I want dance moms to win.
I really hope Austin and Ally win it’s my favourite show of all time even though it ended ,they deserve it because they work very hard.
