 Nogitsune Dissed by FOX

Dylan O’Brien won the Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Villain – not that you would know that from watching the show on FOX last night.

They didn’t even mention the category.

Looking past the diss of a fine actor in the best performance of his life so far, it’s clear the Teen Choice Awards Show isn't about the awards. It’s really just an excuse to trot the hot young actors of the day out on stage to the screams of delight from a packed house. I don’t blame them really, awards shows are boring as sh*t. You have to admit last night’s mishmash of musical performances and celebrities was more entertaining than sitting through an interpretive dance number to the score from 12 Years a Slave during the Oscars.

The show is also a great big commercial for FOX-owned properties that would appeal to a younger audience – that’s why there were a bazillion Red Band Society commercials and mentions. Considering that, I really don’t understand why they would leave out Dylan O’Brien.

While The Giver was all over the show – the 20 Century Fox picture The Maze Runner got nary a mention. They had a huge opportunity to hype the film to its target audience and instead ignored it and its star.

They’re not likely to get another shot at reaching that large a share of the target audience before TMR debuts next month. It would have taken maybe 3 minutes to bring out Dylan, give him the damn surfboard and then cut to a commercial of the film. Boom! Done. And several million potential ticket-buyers get a little more hyped for the picture. They didn’t bother and that’s a level of corporate stupidity I’ve never before encountered in the wild.

Also on the winner’s list from last night – Tyler Hoechlin picked up the Choice Scene Stealer Award – he too was not mentioned anywhere in the broadcast.

 JR’s New Lifetime Gig

JR Bourne will be a recovering addict/surfer dude in the new Lifetime show “Un-Real” from Buffy alum Marti Noxon.

The new “dark comedy” follows a reality dating show and the people behind the scenes. Bourne will play the EX and former writing partner of the fictional dating show’s Executive Producer.

Deadline has the details on the show and on JRs part in it.

 Holland Hates Being Sexy

Holland Roden adds writing to her resume with an article at Seventeen.com.

In it, she confesses to hating Lydia’s overt sexy look - saying she prefers a laid back wardrobe with sweatpants. Actually, her clothing choices are far more complex and she also delves into the psychology of sexy a bit.

It’s a quick read and well worth your time.

 It’s That Guy

If you’ve ever wondered about the people in the background on Teen Wolf – this article in the Republican Herald from Pottsville, Pennsylvania has some insight.

Turns out this random guy, 31 year old David Crater, got the “hometown hero” treatment in his local paper and had a few good things to say about being an extra. He also singled out the Teen Wolf production as a fun place to work.

Check it out if you’re interested in that side of the business.
