The 2016 Teen Choice Awards got political Sunday when hosts John Cena and Victoria Justice impersonated presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. You will fall down. “Ride Along 2” took the prize for best comedy and “Finding Dory” won the award for best summer movie.

FOX’s 2016 Teen Choice Awards has invoked outrage from Christina Grimmie’s fanbase after it was alleged they used the late singer as a promotional tool, only to snub her posthumous award from airing.

The duo were great in their roles as hosts, and got into some insane shenanigans throughout the night but the height of it was when Cena and Justice entered the stage as presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump respectively. While their votes can not be counted in this year’s official election, they were tallied and counted for the show and revealed during the broadcast. I have many times…so don’t waste your 20’s. There were also solo musical performances from Flo Rida, Jason Derulo, Charlie Puth and Serayah.

Timberlake went on to briefly trade barbs on the social media site before apologizing to “anyone that felt I was out of turn”. The singer rocketed to stardom on YouTube and as a contestant on “The Voice”.
