The Vampire Diaries' Lead the 2012 Teen Choice Award Nominations

The first batch of Teen Choice Award nominations for 2012 have just been announced and it's no surprise that vampires are still the hottest topic in town. No one can resist The Smolder Holder, nor should they try. That's right, The CW hitThe Vampire Diaries it already leading the pack, earning an impressive six nominations, surpassing the likes of American Idol and Justin Bieber who each received five nods, respectively.

Ryan Gosling, 21 Jump Street, and those wildly popularAvengers also get a few well deserved nods amid the slew of movie categories.

The Teen Choice Awards were established in 1999 for the purpose of honoring the year's biggest achievements in music, movies, sports, television, fashion and more. Teens between the ages of 13-19 are able to vote, so being a teen at heart (sadly) doesn't count. The show will air live on July 22 at 8 PM ET on Fox.
