‘The Vampire Diaries,’ ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘Veronica Mars’ and More Take Home First Ever mtvU Fandom Awards at Comic-Con 2014

Fandoms united last night at the first-ever mtvU Fandom Awards, held during Comic-Con San Diego. mtvU, MTV’s 24-hour college network, named fans of Veronica Mars, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Hannibal, Damon and Elena of The Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf and John Green as winners of the awards show.

The Fandom Awards is the ultimate celebration for diehard fanboys and fangirls to honor their favorite shows and movies of the past year, with all winners selected by fans through online and social voting.

The show had tons of memorable moments including when Tyler Posey, star of MTV’s Teen Wolf joining YouTube sensation Tyler Oakley to present the “OMG Moment of the Year” award to Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Natalie Dormer from Game of Thrones, which won for its Purple Wedding episode.

Later in the show, Steven Yeun of Walking Dead and Retta from Parks and Recreation then made fans in attendance swoon with news that Damon and Elena (“Delena”) of The Vampire Diaries were to take home the “Ship of the Year” award. Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder accepted the award on behalf of their passionate fandom.

“We want to thank you guys for all of your love and support of Delena,” Dobrev told the Delena fandom in a taped acceptance speech.

“Our ship has been through some ups and downs and we are not sure where we would be without your support … so thank you and we will try to keep it interesting for you,” said Somerhalder.

Finally, Veronica Mars was bestowed with the night’s biggest honor, the “Fandom of the Year” award. The marshmallows once again accomplished a great feat, vaulting their favorite movie into the winners spot of the epic 32-nominee bracket in the “Fandom of the Year” category, which also included finalists Community, Supernatural and Free!
