The vampire drama recieved nominations for Choice TV Show: Fantasy/Sci-Fi, Choice TV Actor: Fantasy/Sci-Fi and Choice TV Actress: Fantasy/Sci-Fi.

‘American Idol’ also had a strong showing, with five nominations, including Choice TV: Male Personality, Choice TV: Female Personality and Choice TV: Reality Competition Show. Justin Bieber also recieved five nominations.
