Teen Choice Awards
The Teen Choice Awards is an awards show presented annually by FOX. The program honors the year's biggest achievements in music, movies, sports, and television, as voted on by teens aged 13-19. The program usually features a high number of celebrities and musical performers. The winners are awarded with lifesize surfboards, fit to the summertime theme. The ceremony has also created spin-off teen awards on YouTube.[1] Starting in 1999,[2] the Teen Choice Awards were presented weeks prior to the televised event up through 2005. Since 2006, the program has been televised live. The 2008 awards were held on Sunday, August 3 and aired on Monday, August 4.
HistoryBob Bain and Michael Burg came together to produce an award show for a young demographic, somewhat older to that of the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards but similar to that of MTV. The format of the show has remained the same, awarding the achievements of those in the entertainment and athletic industries with non-traditional categories fixed into the ceremony. The 2008 Show, hosted by Miley Cyrus, featured a performance by Mariah Carey as well as Miley and a dance smackdown between Miley's M+M Cru and The ACDC (Adam/Chu/Dance Crew) which was created by actor/dancer Adam G. Sevani (Step Up 2: The Streets) and the film's director Jon M Chu. The smackdown was the conclusion of the online dance battle the two sides had ben waging all year. The Jonas Brothers also answered viewers questions sent in on video via the show's MySpace page. Winners included: "Gossip Girl" as well as cast members Blake Lively, Ed Westwick and Chase Crawford, The Jonas Brothers, David Beckham, Steve Carrell, Will Smith, Hayden Panettiere, Channing Tatum, Miley Cyrus, Adam Sandler, Ryan Sheckler, Chris Brown, Lauren Conrad, "The Secret Life Of The American Teenager." The coveted HOTTIES awards went to The Jonas Brothers (Male) and Vanessa Hudgens (Female). A full list is available on the show's website www.teenchoiceawards.com Ballots used to be found in teen oriented magazines, where readers were to purchase and tear out their ballot. Votes could also be cast online through FOX.com. In 2008, FOX and the show's producers created www.teenchoiceawards.com as the official website for the Teen Choice Awards. This year, over 32 million votes were cast. Since the ceremony's inception, the show has given out genuine custom-made surfboards to individual winners. They create a new original design every year.

CriticismThe conservative media watchdog group Parents Television Council has been a prominent critic of the Teen Choice Awards, claiming that they glorify celebrities who promote immoral messages to teenagers. PTC founder L. Brent Bozell criticized the 2000,[11] 2005,[12] and 2006[13] awards ceremonies for awarding rated-R films and other entertainers allegedly not appropriate for teenagers, claiming it showed "how successfully Hollywood has marketed adult fare to the young."[11] Bozell also attacked Nelly Furtado's and Timbaland's performance of their hit song "Promiscuous" in the 2006 awards ceremony for promoting a mixed message to teens about sex by performing their song, which allegedly contained lyrics encouraging sex, and then telling the audience to perform safe sex with condoms and such and telling the audience not actually to be promiscuous in real life. The PTC also named the 2005[14] and 2006[15] awards ceremonies the "Worst Family TV Show of the Week" after their initial broadcasts on FOX. However, L. Brent Bozell did somewhat praise the 2004 awards ceremony for containing little objectionable content due to the "wardrobe malfunction" of Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show. The awards have also been criticized for their use of laugh tracks (sweetening) for the jokes offered by hosts and other stars since the live broadcast has a slight delay. The credits do show that sound mixers do the sweetening for television only. Children and Tweens between the ages of 8-12 also tend to vote even though it is "TEEN" choice awards. An obvious proof to this is Miley Cyrus and winning best Artist. Her fan base consists primarily of children 6-12 years old, none of which are teens. See alsoReferencesExternal links
