newnownext-awards

Logo’s annual awards show celebrating the best in upcoming fresh and on-the-brink pop-culture phenomenons are back. Nominations for the third annual extravaganza were unveiled earlier this week. Though the NewNowNext Awards are relatively new, they have a knack for singling out the NEXT BIG THING.

For it’s inaugural year, the awards featured Lady Gaga’s first ever televised performance. Other highlights include honoring “True Blood” as the “Best Show You’re Not Watching” months before its first Emmy nominations, awarding Wendy Williams the “Best New Indulgence” before the syndicated show went national and giving Leona Lewis “The Kylie Award: Next International Crossover” just as she was making ripples on the North American music scene.

Having said all that, this year’s festivities promises to be bigger than ever. Not to toot our own horn, but three of Homorazzi.com’s writers had a hand in submitting talent for the nomination process and in the voting process.

If you want your voice heard, head on over to http://www.newnownext.com/vote/ to cast your votes now. You can increase your favorite nominees tally by tweeting for them as well.

So who do you vote for? Since Patrick & myself have met Kellan Lutz, we’re obviously rooting for him. Also, you all know we have an unhealthy obsession with those uber-tanned hilarious hookers, Jessica and Hunter. Make sure these trainwrecks win by showing them some love and voting for them and/or by tweeting #OMFGJESSHUNT.
