Nominees for the 2013 Teen Choice Awards have been announced and, once again, some of the choices are really mystifying – I mean, apart from the Twilight Saga’s inexplicable and almost overwhelming success.
When some of the choices come from movies that were seen by dozens of people – instead of the, y’know, actual successes – you have wonder WTF? How do box office duds like the Total Recall remake, The Words and Peeples muster enough votes to make the list – unless a lot of non-teen, behind-the-scenes spin doctors have spun some magic with the numbers. Or maybe teens were the only people to see those movies and every last one of them voted.
Whatevs. For the complete list of nominations, deserving and unnerving, follow the jump.
