Paul Wesley (Donnie, The O.C.) is nominated for Choice TV Breakout Star Male for The Vampire Diaries. Bethany Joy Galeotti (Haley, One Tree Hill), Shenae Grimes (Annie, 90210) and Hilary Duff (Olivia, Gossip Girl) are all nominated for Choice TV Scene Stealer Female while James Lafferty (Nathan, One Tree Hill) is nominated for Choice TV Scene Stealer Male.

Teen Drama Trivia Night Is Back!

18 06 2010

Last July I started hosting weekly teen drama-themed trivia games on Twitter.

It’s a fun way to test your teen drama knowledge, learn new things and pass the time during the summer hiatus.

This time around, trivia will be held on Monday nights circa 8pm eastern.

Each week will have a different theme, going show by show and chronologically (Beverly Hills 90210, Dawson’s Creek, The O.C., One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, 90210) and then a night where it’s a mix of questions on all the shows before we start over again.

In order to play, you need to have a Twitter account. Sign up for a free account and make sure you’re following me.

I will post a reminder with more details on Monday morning.
