Nominees for the surfy Teen Choice Awards were announced today, and the music-related categories were dominated by the usual suspects–GaGa, Kanye, Beyonce, Britney, Taylor. And leading the pack of nominees for Teen Choice Album is the Jonas Brothers’ Lines, Vines, And Trying Times–a neat trick, since the album doesn’t come out until tomorrow. It couldn’t be because the Bros Jo are hosting the show, could it? Or that there’s a huge honking banner ad for Lines right on the show’s official site? How could I even think that such an upstanding network like Fox would engage in these sorts of shenanigans with a trio that they’ve collectively nominated for Choice Male Hottie? Full list of music-related nominees after the jump.
