Further proof that Degrassians own Twitter, our own Munro Chambers is currently in 6th place for the Shorty Awards’ “Best Actor on Twitter” race. As I write this entry now on Jan. 17 at 1:17pm ET**, Munro just moved up from 7th place. He is currently not far behind Glee’s Chris Colfer. The Vampire Diaries’ Ian Somerhalder is currently first.
The Shorty Awards are a unique way to honour the best people and organizations on Twitter. Nominations can be made through Twitter, and in February they will be narrowed down to 6 finalists in each category. Winners are determined by fans and experts.
Munro is not the only Degrassian who is doing well in the awards. Degrassi alumnus Nina Dobrev is currently 2nd for the “Best Actress on Twitter” category.
**NOTE: These are the standings as I’m currently writing this entry. They change frequently as more people submit nominations.
EDIT: Munro has moved up to 5th now.
EDIT #2 (Jan. 18th): Munro is now in 4th!!
