The 2012 People’s Choice Awards may not air until January, but the voting is officially on! This is your official reminder that Vampire Diaries fandom needs to vote hard for our show and cast in this year’s People’s Choice Awards. The show airs LIVE on Wed., Jan. 11, 2012, 9-11pm ET on CBS and we want to see TVD on that ballot. We’re in the nomination phase now, where the top five official nominees (those listed) and write-in votes (more on that below) are voted on by fans and then whittled down to five official nominees in each category.
The top five in each category will become the official nominees and will be announced on November 8, 2011 at The Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills during the annual PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS press conference.
We’ve listed the official Vampire Diaries nominations below, as well as the categories that could definitely use some TVD love. REMEMBER: YOU CAN VOTE AS MANY TIMES AS YOU’D LIKE. Mobilize and get the word out, people! The show needs our votes!
VOTE:
- THE VAMPIRE DIARIES IN FAVORITE NETWORK TV DRAMA
- IAN SOMERHALDER IN TV DRAMA ACTOR
- THE VAMPIRE DIARIES IN FAVORITE SCI-FI/FANTASY TV SHOW
But your job is not done, fandom! You can write-in a nomination in each category, so let’s represent for the entire Vampire Diaries cast, shall we? All you have to do is click OTHER and type in the name of who you’re nominating. We’ve made it easy – just click each cast member below to go directly to their relevant category and write them in!

AOL.TV has a preview of this week’s episode, Smells Like Teen Spirit (EP306). SPOILER WARNING: the cast does their very best to avoid spoilers (and they’re good at it!) but if you haven’t seen up through The Reckoning (EP305), think carefully before you click.
Hint: Turn your speakers up high, some of the actor interviews are on the quiet side.
Entertainment Weekly also has some exclusive pictures from Smells Like Teen Spirit, you can see them here. Is it Thursday yet?!

It’s getting spooky around here! Vampire Diaries Web has got some new pictures from Smells Like Teen Spirit (Ep 306) and Ghost World (Ep 307), and they’re rather intriguing. Take a look and see for yourself, but beware of spoilers, especially if you’ve only just started watching season 3!

Team Alaric, this is your lucky day! Jean Bentley at Aol TV interviewed Matt Davis, who had all kinds of interesting things to say about the character of Alaric and his relationships with the other characters, and where Matt Davis, as an actor, would like to go with Alaric in the future.
How is Alaric faring after Jenna’s death?
I think that he’s not looking back. He really wants to look forward and he really wants to turn his life around. He really wants to find his purpose again, and I think he wants to be the best mentor he can be for the kids.As an actor, I’m really creatively connected to the developing relationship with Elena, as her mentor and as a parental figure. But not even a parental figure — [Alaric] thinks that because he’s a guardian, he has to be a parent. He’s got his own preconceived notions of what a good parent is, and he’s coming to terms with the fact that maybe he’s not a good parent traditionally.

Alaric fans, rejoice! The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Matt Davis recently and got him to dish a bit on where Alaric’s at as Season 3 begins. Looks like that couch at the Gilbert House has been getting a lot of use. Matt also mentions a big ‘mystery character’ who will be showing up in a few weeks. Who do you think it will be? Give us your best guesses in the comments!
