New York, NY (June 23, 2015) – MTV today announced the nominees for the 2015 “Fandom of the Year” award, which features 32 honorees spread across four sub genres – Movies, TV Dramas, TV Comedies and Reality – with winners being decided by bracket-style voting. The network also announced nominees for “Ship of the Year,” celebrating the unspoken relationships that fandoms are dying to see. The awards will be handed out at the second annual “MTV Fandom Awards,” which will take place along with the “MTV Fandom Fest” on Thursday, July 9 at Petco Park during Comic-Con San Diego. MTV will premiere the 60-minute “MTV Fandom Awards Special” on Sunday, July 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, celebrating the honorees and showcasing some of the best moments from the show.

“Fandom of the Year” nominees include fans of the biggest blockbuster franchises in entertainment like Avengers: Age of Ultron and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, as well as television series, including “Empire,” “Pretty Little Liars,” “Teen Wolf,” “Broad City,” ”Arrow,” “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.” The full list of all 32 nominees for the “Fandom of the Year” award presented by Kit Kat bars is included below and fans can vote for all of their favorites at FandomAwards.MTV.com. Social voting for the “Ship of the Year” award, presented by Coca-Cola, will launch on Thursday, June 25 with voting exclusively on Tumblr, the home for fandoms. The nominees in the category are “Clexa” from “The 100” (Clarke and Lexa), “Olicity” from “Arrow” (Felicity and Oliver), “Karmy” from “Faking It” (Karma and Amy), “Emison” from “Pretty Little Liars” (Emily and Alison), “Sciles” from “Teen Wolf” (Scott and Stiles), and “Bamon” from “The Vampire Diaries” (Bonnie and Damon). Starting June 25, MTV will launch a unique post for each of the “Ship of the Year” nominees on the MTV Tumblr page, with the winner determined by the post with the largest vote count. Voting for this award will run through July 8.

“The Vampire Diaries” leads the pack of previously announced nominees with three nominations in the “Fandom of the Year,” “Ship of the Year” and “Feels Freak Out of the Year” categories. Previously announced nominees, Mad Max: Fury Road, Star Wars, “Faking It,” “Arrow,” Empire and “Teen Wolf” round out the standings with two nominations each.

“The ‘Fandom of the Year’ award celebrates some of the loudest fandoms in pop culture,” said Ryan Kroft, Senior Vice President of Programming Specials and Events for MTV. “We love having the bracket back in action for the second year in a row.”

"Shipping on Tumblr is serious business, so I'm thrilled we're able to celebrate all of the community's passions by opening it up to a democratic process with MTV Fandom Awards, said Amandalyn Ferri, Tumblr's Culture & Trends expert. "Personally, I ship #Karmy (“Faking It”), but we'll see which couple's hypothetical love prevails when voting on Tumblr ends and San Diego Comic-Con begins."

Beginning on Wednesday, July 8, MTV will launch “Fandom Week,” a take-over by fans and celebrity fans, alike, across every MTV platform with segments on-air, on digital and across MTV’s social platforms. Stars like Selena Gomez, Jason Derulo, MGK, Kit Harrington and many more will share their favorite movies, shows and characters, while “MTV Fandom” correspondents Carly Aquilino (MTV’s “Girl Code”) and social media star Lohanthony, will be on the ground bringing viewers the best of Comic-Con International: San Diego and all of the fun from “MTV Fandom Fest.” “Fandom Week” will culminate on Sunday, July 12 with the “MTV Fandom Awards Special” airing at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.

  2. LoL! Just lOl!
    I can't even! The only award show where CW leads with the nominees.

    ReplyDelete
  3. You're forgetting the Teen Choice Awards.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Ship of the year? Seriously? Spoiling/encouraging/enabling rabid shippers even more.

    I can get behind a fandom of the year award - for sane and polite fandoms - just like awarding football (soccer) teams fairplay awards for clean games and exemplary behavior on the field.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Think that not even there they are this dominant. But yeah they are strong there as well.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Goodbye Revenge, ∞x∞June 23, 2015 at 9:01 PM

    Wow Revenge wasn't nominated for anything?!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Oh please please please let olicity win. And what the hell why wasn't sterek nominated since its the most popular. Uugh teen wolf. Anyways how do you vote.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Supernatural. Please. :)

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yep, it's times like these that I'm reminded that I am too old for MTV. Still love Teen Wolf and Eye Candy though. Terrible names, terrible network, fun shows.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I thought those were taken over by ABC Family these days.

    ReplyDelete
  11. those nominated ships are ridiculous!!! do they want to start civil war before it comes into the movies?! I don't even want to check tumblr!! there will be a lot of angry people and like 5% that will be over the moon for joy....

    ReplyDelete
  12. I'm so tired of shipping cause in this day in age all it does is eat up your fanbase. The fighting , threats, Validation and the entitlement is unbelievable. It use to be a fun thing.

    ReplyDelete
  13. No, but it's all under the "SciFi" categories (tv show, actor, actress) which is mostly what The CW is these days. They are super dominate this year. ABC Family is in the "Drama" category.

    ReplyDelete
  14. They are more dominant at the Teen Choice currently but it's all the in "SciFi" categories.

    ReplyDelete
  15. MTV: producing sh*tty shows and encouraging the de-volution of television

    ReplyDelete
  16. I've never even heard of these awards.. (does this happen every year?)..... Clarke is so much more awesome and enjoyable without being attached to a ship.

    ReplyDelete
  17. The ship wars in tumblr will be funny as hell.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Giving an award for something as stupid as shipping is really sad.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think the reason why Sterek wasn't nominated and Sciles was, is because the screen time Stiles and Derek have shared in the last two seasons is basically non-existent. I think it was the writers/showrunners/actors/channel's bright idea of trying to make people forget about Sterek. Something that obviously didn't happen and only served to enrage the shippers.

    ReplyDelete
  20. To be honest, I don't get why Sciles is in the category (Bamon as well). Besides the fact
    that I don't ship it (but I don't hate ship it either. I'm whatever about it
    truthfully as a romantic ship, I do BROTP the f*ck out of it though), I
    got the idea, based on all the previous ships that were nominated in
    the category, that only canon ships would be taken into consideration. Something which Sciles (and Bamon) are not. Anyway, doesn't really matter in the end.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Fandom of the year. That's really awesome. And i'm sorry, Bamon??? what?? ROtflmmfao!!! Oh boy this will be hilarious. I'm so glad i won't be apart of this. I can get behind the Fandom of the year thing. I think that's pretty cool.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm sitting here looking at this list and I have never felt more my age than I do right now.
    They are spending money to produce an award show for this. I don't even know what to say, honestly.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Remember that time when MTV actually played music? Those were the days.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh good god, I just laughed so hard at this. I'm so glad I'm too old for this ****.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Funny how they didn't include the biggest/loudest abusive crackships/ships of Tumblr lol. Kudos to MTV for doing that.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Clarke doesn't have time for a ship. She had to kill her best friend and then committed genocide. She needs some alone time to get her head together.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Generally I laugh at MTV and Teen Choice Award categories. This time I just feel old. I remember when MTV debuted. The music, the videos, the television has now turned into the worst reality tv shows on the planet, condom and anti-smoking commercials, bad advice, and this. Aww forget it. I'm going to laugh, eye roll, and be glad I was a teen in the 80's instead of now. (And fear for the future.)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Shipping can involve Brotps so it makes sense to have sciles on there, also the creator once said the most important relationship of the show is Scott and Stiles.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Christopher DeBonoJune 24, 2015 at 12:21 AM

    Oh boy, these ship wars are going to be fun to watch.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Seriously? I really don't know how to reply to that.
    For the record, I was happy about "Fandom of the Year"; it's not my fault everyone ignored it and focused on "Ship of the Year", which by the way I'm also happy about.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Me too. I couldn't wait to see what MTV had on. Now. all you can do is laugh. "Video Killed the Radio Star" I can still hear it like it was yesterday. Now I'm feeling nostalgic.

    ReplyDelete
  32. *Upvotes for laughing*

    ReplyDelete
  33. how am i making fun of other people? my reply was to Dahne,not you.

    ReplyDelete
  34. And Dahne's reply was what? A very heartfelt compliment? It was sarcastic remark that made you laugh, and you upvoted it. Correct me if I'm wrong but that seems like you're agreeing with the comment.

    ReplyDelete
  35. LMAO!! yeah,of course i was. so what? what's it your business? if you are going to get butthurt,please leave the internet. when i upvoted+replied was to her,NOT YOU!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I can see your point. How is laughing about a comment making fun of me any of my business? Hard to argue with that logic.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Great job,MTV. feeding the most toxic people,EVER!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. bwhahaha. how was she making fun of you? it's none of your BUSINESS! what i wrote to HER! that's my business,NOT YOURS! i never mentioned YOUR NAME! so indeed,it isn't your business.

    ReplyDelete
  39. If only you could see how that comment made no sense at all. Anyway, I'm done with this conversation. You have a good night.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Okay,fine. yep,it doesn't make sense at all. that's cool.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Hey now, I love Teen Wolf (except for last season) and Eye Candy was a whole lot better than I expected. After that I can't really disagree though. All those terrible reality TV shows they produce that highlight some of the worst of humanity and some of the stupidest.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Just what we needed. More encouragement to have Twitter wars over ships.

    ReplyDelete
  43. If "Teen Mom" or the Kardashians won for best reality series, I...would weep.
    Also, while I know teens watch shows like "Game of Thrones" and "Orange is the New Black", they still look oddly out of place against so much of the other stuff nominated :p. But they are popular/have their followings, so...
    As for the shipping award...I'd have no problem with a category for favorite TV couples in and of itself, but I do side with the others who know this will only fuel shipper wars, too. Don't really need that behavior to be encouraged any further.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Remember coming home from school and racing to see which of the 25 videos on repeat was coming up next and being okay that you just saw it when you left for school because channel choice was just coming into its own.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Same. MTV has definitely changed from what it was when I was a teenager, that's for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Well, I have only seen Teen Wolfs first season and that one was attrocious (and everything I hate about teen clichés was there).


    Never saw Eye Candy but a clip they showed on The Soup. That scene alone was SO dumb I don't think the show was my cup of tea ("I don't believe in guns...")

    ReplyDelete
  47. Nowadays it's more like MTV killed the music video lovers.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Fair enough. I just rewatched Teen Wolf season 1 and there was a lot to scorn there, more than I remembered because I marathoned it in two days originally and the action and swift moving plot made up for a multitude of sins for me. If you ever decide to give it a shot again, try season 3. 3B is one of the best things I have ever seen in a technically teen show and 3 A was pretty decent too.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Pretty much :/. My teen years began in the late '90s, so they had stuff like "Real World" and that running by then*, but even with that, they still worked music videos into their regular schedule somehow. You got to see them on "TRL", there was some show on for a while that scrolled the lyrics to the songs at the bottom as they played the videos, they had occasional video countdowns, and though they didn't air them until late at night, they still had blocks of just plain ol' videos for part of the overnight hours.
    *Plus, MTV did have "Daria", so I could forgive the occasional break in music videos for shows like that :).

    ReplyDelete
  50. Daria is one recommended to me that I have never gotten around to yet.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I will add to the recommendations, then :D. It was a good show. One of my favorite animated series.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Sadly I can't, it's been hyped up to no end to me, to a degree I can't help but be incredibly biased and have too high expectations.
    Especially since I already can't stand the unjustified Dylan O'Brien hype

    ReplyDelete
  53. If you don't liek Dylan O'Brien then this is definitely not the show for you. I think he's talented and I love the character he plays. In fact, I'll likely nominate Stiles for the Character Cup next week.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Great. I hope you pitch it next year. There's no way i will get to it this time.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Oooh, yeah, good idea. I'll definitely keep that one in mind for the "pitch your show" thing next year :).

    ReplyDelete
  56. SHIP OF THE YEAR OHMYGOD WTF

    ReplyDelete
  57. He was attrocious in Maze Runner and I didn't like him in season 1. So I'm probably wrong for the show

    ReplyDelete
  58. I grew into the TRL generation, 2002-2008 were my MTV days..


    not only did I love to watch music videos to relax after school but also stuff like Pimp my Ride made my day.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Do it! Last year I binged the entire series in a week. It still holds up.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I don't really ship sterek but its really messed up that they exclude it and put sciles.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Which one is that one? Lol

    ReplyDelete
  62. I don't ship Sterek either. But I understand why they wouldn't include it now. If it were 2-3 years ago (meaning season 1-2) then, yes, it would be pretty messed up (they would have ignored one of the largest parts of the fandom) but now? Since the aforementioned lack of screen time, it is logical to assume they wouldn't be part of the nominees. (The lack of screen time, though, is messed up.)



    Also, someone pointed out to me in a comment that they include BROTPs (in the sense that shipping includes BROTPs) and that's why Sciles is nominated. But since every other pairing in the category is romantically involved (with the exception of Bamon. But some believe that the relationship is as it was this season so as to prepare us for the potential/eventual romantic aspect of the pairing next year.)



    The last sentence on my previous comment was a general observation. It was not meant to insinuate that you are one of the enraged shippers. Sorry if it sounded like I was calling you that. :)

    ReplyDelete
  63. Its okay I didn't think you were calling me an enraged shipper. I just want my olicity to win.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Agreed. That one-way ticket to Mars is looking more and more appealing.

    ReplyDelete
  65. YES!! Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  66. SUPERNATURAL is the best show ever !!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Well, several, not just one lol

    ReplyDelete
  68. The ship choices are. . . . interesting. Lots of popular ships left out, and some included I've never heard of. What happened to Delena and Steroline? No ships from Once Upon a Time, Glee, Outlander, or The Flash? No Destiel?
    Why so many choices for fandom of the year and so few choices for ship of the year?

    ReplyDelete
  69. "Fandom of the Year"... I can live with that. But "Ship of the Year"???? Definitely an award this world doesn't need...

    ReplyDelete
  70. I do remember it being one of your favorites on MTV. I believe you compared Awkward to it at one time.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Bamon for the win!!!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I like bamon but my heart goes to olicity.

    ReplyDelete
  73. well they included Olicity and Bamon, that about covers it

    ReplyDelete
  74. Not well researched at all and so out of touch with shipping fandoms. This ship category is a J.o.k.e.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Sterek doesnt exist, never will and never did, why would it be included.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Olicity and Bamon aren't abusive for me, at least LESS abusive than others (which were not included)

    ReplyDelete
  77. Excuse me but this is shipping which includes cannon and noncannon so sterek can be included.

    ReplyDelete
  78. For me and my opinion:
    VD: Bamon or Delena
    Originals: Haley and Elijah.
    No Klayley- Thank goodness.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I was a teen in the 90's but my MTV experience was very much the same.

    ReplyDelete
  80. SAME!!

    Actually they had some pretty good animation shows all around I remember.

    ReplyDelete
  81. The fandoms are complete scam of the earth, especially Olicity fandom.
