If you want to know what’s cool in 2018, you’re best off asking the teens. And this year, there’s a lot. So much so, that the nominations for the 2018 Teen Choice Awards were revealed in two parts ahead of the awards ceremony on the 12th of August.
Riverdale unsurprisingly led the nominations in the TV categories, scooping up 7 nominations for Archie and his friends. The show, based on the Archie Comics, was nominated for TV Villain, TV Breakout Star, TV Ship, Liplock (TV & Film combined), Hissyfit, and Scene Stealer.
Stranger Things was a close contender, with the folks from Hawkins representing in 5 categories.
In the film division, Marvel’s Black Panther, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and The Greatest Showman all put their hats in the ring with 4 nominations, followed by Avengers: Infinity War, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and IT.
The awards also highlight popularity in music, social media, video games, and fashion, with the royal family’s newest member — Duchess Meghan of Sussex — in the running for Style Icon.
This year’s Teen Choice Awards will be held live at The Forum in Los Angeles, with fans allowed to vote 10 times a day from various platforms.
