The 2016 Teen Choice Awards have revealed their first wave of nominations, with big scores for Pretty Little Liars and the CW. On the TV side, Pretty Little Liars leads all programs with six nominations, followed by The Vampire Diaries with five.
FOX, which airs the awards show, did quite well with nominations for Empire, Scream Queens, Gotham, Rosewood and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The CW performed even better with big nominations for eight of its shows, including Supernatural, The Flash and Jane the Virgin. In fact, the CW represents 15 out of the 18 nominees in the three Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV categories.
Some surprises include multiple nominations for Jennifer Lopez’s NBC cop drama Shades of Blue as well as nominations for Netflix’s critically reviled Fuller House and the comedy Cuckoo, a show most people have never heard of, even if they recognize its nominated star, Twilight‘s Taylor Lautner. Also, who knew teenagers loved Mob Wives?
Here’s the list of the first wave of nominations. The 2016 Teen Choice Awards will air Sunday, July 31 on FOX. Voting is open now online.
