The nicest part of the Teen Choice Awards tonight was the Fast & Furious cast's tribute to the late Paul Walker, who won his last surfboard, along with the movie. The rest of the winners included Hunger Games of course, lots of prizes for Pitch Perfect 2, and also Paper Towns, which I'm surprised to see is apparently so popular with teens, considering they didn't go see it. Like, at all. Seriously, that movie was one of the biggest bombs of the summer, but then again, If I Stay didn't exactly light up the box office back in January either. Jane the Virgin's Gina Rodriguez hosted and Taylor Swift performed, but not a lot of note happened at this event. Still, I guess the winners this year weren't too offensive overall. It is interesting to see that the two biggest movies of the year, Jurassic World and Avengers: Age of Ultron were essentially shut out- are we in a time when the sheer amount of money a movie makes no longer means that the film has any cultural impact whatsoever? That should be enough to tell you what's actually popular, but if the two biggest movies of the year can't even muster up the fan-based votes, you know they're really nobody's favorite, despite the box office receipts.
