Aside from "Veronica Mars" winning the Fandom Of The Year Award, the ET Online report also listed the other winners, such as HBO's "Game Of Thrones" as OMG Moment Of The Year for the saga's Purple Wedding episode.
The Breakout Fandom Of The Year award went to "Hannibal", while the "Harry Potter" franchise received the Best Fandom Forever award.
The award for Fandom Feat Of The Year went to MTV's "Teen Wolf", as its fans raised funds to build a wolf sanctuary.
"The Fault In Our Stars" author John Green won the Visionary Award.
Former real life couple Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev won the Ship Of The Year Award for their romance in Vampire Diaries.

While the mtvU Fandom Awards was held as part of this year's Comic-Con, celebrities still showed off red carpet glam for the big night.
