Teen Choice Awards 2019: Best & Worst Moments

BEST: THE PERFECT WINNER

The look of sheer gratitude on Noah Centineo's face upon receiving his surfboard was #PeakTeenChoice.

Him saying "This is crazy, man. We're on a beach right now!" was the Teen Choice Awards equivalent of Sally Field's "You like me, you really like me!" (And we do.)

WEIRDEST: CALIFORNIA BOYS

What does the Teen Choice Awards have against Katy Perry? That hot mess of a "California Gurls" cover was... a choice.

Lucy Hale wasn't wrong when she said, "That has never, ever, ever been done before."

WORST: HASHTAG BOTTLE CAP CHALLENGE FAIL

Remember that time Lucy Hale's co-host kicked her in the hand as part of a "rehearsed" challenge? "My hand actually hurts," she said afterwards. "I didn't expect that." Yikes.

BEST: JOBRO-CABULARY

Can all future acceptance speeches begin with Kevin Jonas stepping up to the mic and declaring "piss-head!" with no context whatsoever?

That moment totally made up for the show censoring "stumbling out of bars" earlier in the broadcast.

WORST: FALSE PROMISES

Ken Jeong really let down the teens when he promised to reveal one of the celebrities participating in Season 2 of The Masked Singer, only to learn that he didn't have the authority to do so. (As if the teens weren't already disappointed enough that Fox chose to bring the Pineapple — of all characters! — to the TCAs.)

BEST: GOOD NEWS FOR THE FOUR?

The fate of Fox's unexpectedly controversial singing competition may still be in limbo, but the TCAs showed it some love by acknowledging Zhavia as being "from Fox's The Four."

BEST: MOST MIND-BLOWING MOMENT

When Lucy Hale asked 11-year-old Choice Female Athlete nominee Sky Brown if she had any advice for "other teens out there," did you have to remind yourself that Brown isn't even an actual teen? She's. Only. Eleven.

WEIRDEST: WHAT YEAR IS IT, ANYWAY?

Given this show's commitment to highlighting what's currently hot in entertainment, we were a little surprised that OneRepublic chose to open with "Counting Stars," a song released back in 2013.

The only reason some of the kids in the audience knew the lyrics is because their moms listened to it when they were pregnant.

WEIRDEST: KJ APA'S DISAPPEARING ACT 

Why did the cast of Riverdale need to record a "Sorry, we couldn't be there to accept our award" video message when KJ Apa was just on the Teen Choice Awards stage one hour earlier to present a surfboard to Robert Downey, Jr.?

WEIRDEST: MASKED TAKEOVER

That said, did any celebrity get more screen time during the TCAs than the new Masked Singer mascots? (And is that egg wearing one of its own kind as a hat?!)
