Wow I must have been out of it that I didn’t realize that, The Secret Life Of The American Teenager, won the award it was nominated for at The 2008 Teen Choice Awards. The show was up for:
Choice Summer TV Show
TSL took it home! Here’s what Francia had to say after winning:
“The Secret Life of the American Teenager” starring Francia Raisa (Adrian Lee) wins the 2008 Teen Choice Award for Choice Summer TV Show. Up against hot summer series “America’s Best Dance Crew,” “Degrassi,” “High School Musical: Get in the Picture,” and “So You Think You Can Dance,” “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” was the favored winner, armed by impressive viewer statistics and a quickly growing teen fan base.
“It is such an honor to win an award that is completely decided by your fans” says Francia Raisa. “The Teen Choice Awards was by far one of the most exciting award shows I have ever been to, and the fact that we won was amazing – I appreciate and love my fans so much, I hope they enjoy the rest of season one, we have some great stuff coming up!”
They deserved the win – and I’m incredibly glad for them since this was the show I was rooting for. I’ve also read interviews from the press about the impact Francia says the show is making on teenagers everywhere. She’s received emails from teens across the country.
