Editing Teen Choice Awards (section)

==Controversy==
On August 11, 2014, after losing his category, [[Vine (service)|Vine]] star [[Cameron Dallas]] tweeted that the awards ceremony was "rigged", saying that he had been informed six days prior to the actual event that he had won the award, and the runners-up were told to still try to solicit votes from their followers, even though the results had already been decided. He also tweeted "So I found out that the Teen Choice Awards were rigged and used powerful internet people for marketing. I'm sad now. Television is stupid" before deleting the tweets, saying he "should have taken the high road", but he "didn't like the fact that [his fans] were being lied to".<ref>{{cite tweet |number=498854152420605952 |date=August 11, 2014 |user=camerondallas |author=Cameron Dallas |author-link=Cameron Dallas |title=I knew I should have taken the high road, but you guys know I don't like when people lie to you. |access-date=June 21, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305115038/https://twitter.com/camerondallas/status/498854152420605952 |archive-date= Mar 5, 2016 }}</ref> Soon after Dallas' initial tweets, Vine star Carter Reynolds stated that the Teen Choice Awards had "used everyone for promotion", using the hashtag "#TeensDontHaveAChoiceAwards", which soon began trending by fans who noticed the disclaimer at the end of the show saying that the producers reserved the right to choose the winners.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/08/11/teen-choice-awards-claims-of-rigged-winners-cause-teen-meltdown-on-twitter/ |url-access=subscription |title=Teen Choice Awards: Claims of 'rigged' winners cause teen meltdown on Twitter |date=August 11, 2014 |first=Emily |last=Yahr |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |access-date=June 21, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150724032336/http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/08/11/teen-choice-awards-claims-of-rigged-winners-cause-teen-meltdown-on-twitter/ |archive-date=July 24, 2015 |url-status=live |postscript=; }} {{cite web |url=http://www.ora.tv/dailyrehash/article/teen-choice-awards-causes-twitter-uprising |title=Teen Choice Awards Causes Twitter Uprising! |date=August 11, 2014 |website=Ora.tv |access-date=June 21, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150625195214/http://www.ora.tv/dailyrehash/article/teen-choice-awards-causes-twitter-uprising |archive-date=June 25, 2015 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2016, controversy started on [[Twitter]] when fans became upset when they found out that late pop singer [[Christina Grimmie]] won the award for Choice Web Star: Music but was not mentioned during the show. Many fans felt that the award show should have been dedicated to her memory or at least for a moment of recognition.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/08/01/christina-grimmie-won-a-teen-choice-award-but-wasnt-mentioned-on-the-show-fans-arent-happy/ |url-access=subscription |first1=Emily |last1=Yahr |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |date=August 1, 2016 |title=Christina Grimmie won a Teen Choice Award but wasn't mentioned on the show.
