“Twilight,” “High School Musical” and “Gossip Girl” have a combined 32 nominations for the 2009 Teen Choice Awards; that’s 32 more than Degrassi has so far. I’M SHOCKED AND OUTRAGED!!! I’M GONNA *CRAIG OUT* ON THE NEXT PERSON I SEE!!
Hosted this year by The Jonas Brothers, The Teen Choice Awards airs Monday, August 10 on FOX. Let’s face it; Degrassi has never been popular enough here in the U.S. to earn a nomination in the Choice TV Drama category, which is dominated by shows teens will ADMIT they enjoy like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Gossip Girl.” If there’s any consolation, “90210,” which stars former Degrassi girl Shenae Grimes, is nominated in the category this year.
Instead, Degrassi’s going to once again place their hopes of winning a TCA in the to-be-announced-later “Summer” category. Degrassi won Choice Summer TV Show in 2005 and 2007, and they were nominated last year.
Starting July 3, Degrassi’s going to finally catch up with CTV and air the final 10 episodes of Season 8. That’s six regular episodes and the 2-hour (4-part) TV movie, “Degrassi Goes Hollywood.”
