Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead) and Retta (Parks and Recreation) showed up next to give The Vampire Diaries the Ship of the Year award. Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder accepted the award. “We want to thank you guys for all of your love and support of Delena,” Dobrev said in a taped acceptance speech. Added Somerhalder: “Our ship has been through some ups and downs and we are not sure where we would be without your support … so thank you, and we will try to keep it interesting for you.”

Major Congrats to Nina Dobrev & Ian Somerhalder they have put so much into Damon and Elena over the years, and this past year was the icing on the Cake. Our Ship is beautiful and one of the best TV Couples I’ve ever shipped. Thank You Nina and Ian for giving our favorite TV Couple so much life, passion, love, chemistry.
