The Shorty Awards are the annual honors given out for the best content producers on social media: Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Tumblr. The fifth annual Shorties were awarded Monday (April 8) and guess what took home Best TV Show? “Pretty Little Liars”!

Star Keegan Allen taped an acceptance speech, saying, “Thank you guys so much on behalf of everyone from ‘Pretty Little Liars’ and ABC Family. Keep tweeting! Or ‘A’ will come after you!”

In 2013, “Pretty Little Liars” was the top-tweeted series across all of TV and was second only to the Grammys and the Super Bowl. This is the third year a Best TV Show award has been given out by the Shorties. It has previously been won by “Attack of the Show” and “Sesame Street.”

It’s a tough decision, but Rachel Korine, Ashley Benson and Selena Gomez reveal their Movie Award picks for “Best Musical Moment” on Rated MTV, airing Friday at 3:30 p.m. ET.

So the nominations are in for the 2013 People’s Choice Awards. Congratulations to “Pretty Little Liars” for taking a spot in the “Favorite Cable TV Drama” category! It wouldn’t have been there without the support of all “Little Liars”, which justifies its own nomination for “Favorite TV Fan Following”.

You can cast your vote from the PCA site, twitter, facebook or their official mobile app (also available on Android).

When you vote through the site and facebook, you may want to ‘TWEET YOUR VOTE’ as it will count as a second vote! Retweets count as well so what more can you possibly ask for? When using twitter, all they ask is for you to have ‘nominee #category #peopleschoice’ anywhere in your tweet.

The fans determine who wins big at Sunday evening’s American Music Awards, meaning it’s bound to be a big night for teen pop. But there will be more somber moments during the live broadcast as well, as Ryan Seacrest and Stevie Wonder have planned a tribute to the late Dick Clark, who created the event 40 years ago. Wondering what’s in store for the big night? Here’s the rundown.

The Presenters

The AMAs haven’t had an official host for a few years now. Jimmy Kimmel took the reins for four consecutive years in the aughts, but since 2009 it’s been running on a celebrity introduction format. This year’s presenters include Pretty Little Liars stars Ashley Benson and Lucy Hale, the Backstreet Boys, Eric Stonestreet, Gavin DeGraw, Paula Abdul, and Stacy Keibler.

The Performers

The American Music Awards is practically a fancy music festival, thanks to its incredible lineup of live performers. This year the crowd will go wild for Justin Bieber (if he’s recovered from his breakup, that is), Kelly Clarkson, Carly Rae Jepsen, PSY, The Wanted, Swizz Beats feat. Chris Brown and Ludacris, Christina Aguilera, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, No Doubt, Linkin Park, Pink, Pitbull, and Usher. We’re particularly excited for Ke$ha’s performance — maybe she’ll even whip out that headdress she made made out of human teeth.

The Awards

The AMAs are basically a popularity contest, as the awards are fan-determined. No one will be surprised if Justin Bieber takes home Artist of the Year, although he faces stiff competition from Drake, Maroon 5, Rihanna, and Katy Perry. He may also scoop awards for Favorite Male Artist and Favorite Album in the pop/rock genre. But Rihanna and Nicki Minaj are tied for the most nominations this year, although you shouldn’t expect to see RiRi at the show — she’s a little busy with her “777″ tour this week. Among her nominations was a nod for Favorite Album, Soul/R&B, for which she’s up against her maybe flame, Chris Brown. See the full list of nominees here.

It’s going to be an interesting night!
