Best nominees for Didn\u2019t Happen of the Year Awards 2019 The awards dedicated to celebrating the biggest liars on social media is back for its 2019 edition, as Didn\u2019t Happen of the Year Awards (DHOTYA) step up their game to the next level. Now the fourth annual running of the awards, the viral Twitter account @_DHOTYA has taken social media by storm once again, and even has Premier League football teams getting involved. The awards are very much what they say on the tin: Social media posts that spin tales that almost certainly \u201cdidn\u2019t happen\u201d are picked out and pitted against each other in a fan vote, to decide the best \u2018didn\u2019t happen\u2019 incident of the year. If you\u2019re confused, by way of example the 2018 winner was this classic tale of a person walking into a \u201csupermarche\u201d. Voters picked this very-unbelievable story as the most \u2018didn\u2019t happen\u2019 of all. #DHOTYA2018 WINNER After 12 months of searching through the lies, planning, preparing and running the biggest Twitter event of 2018, you have voted for your winner. \u201cSupermarche\u201d becomes our first \u2018Anon\u2019 winner as her celebration picture shows, having won 59% of the final vote. pic.twitter.com\/2bqJ9mMBi5 \u2014 Didn\u2019t Happen of the Year Awards (@_DHOTYA) December 30, 2018 For 2019, there is wide pool of potential winners to choose from; everything from Theresa May\u2019s claim that Brexit would happen in March, to Rebekah Vardy\u2019s claim that she was hacked after being accused of leaking Coleen Rooney\u2019s Instagram stories to the press. Some of the \u2018trademarks\u2019 of a classic \u2018Didn\u2019t Happen\u2019 are easy to spot. Typically young children having an intellectual moment on politics, a perfect \u201cI got the last laugh\u201d story, or even just an obvious joke that the person tries to pull of as actually having occurred in the real world. We\u2019ve picked some of our personal favorites for this year. \u00a34.40 toastie by George Benson This is just the perfect example of a \u2018last laugh\u2019 story that almost definitely did not happen. YouTuber George Benson claims he was the third victim of a bizarre toastie seller, who was fired on the spot after trying to charge an extra pound for no reason whatsoever. \u201cClapping\u201d by Ciara Another surefire way to spot a didn\u2019t happen is spontaneous public clapping. Often a social media liar will claim to have done something so virtuous in public that the entire area around them simply erupted into applause \u2013 and a discount on food isn\u2019t bad either. \u201cMouth of babes\u201d by Louise Perhaps the most iconic \u2018Didn\u2019t Happens\u2019 though, are those that feature toddlers somehow grasping the intricacies of world politics. This young girl, only six-years-young, apparently has her very own thoughts on British Prime Minister Boris Johnson\u2019s treatment of the homeless. These are just some of our favorites however, and chances are none of these come out on top when all the votes are counted, with 32 contenders overall. It\u2019s more than just harmless fun too, as the organizers are also leveraging voters to help out with a good cause. In 2018, fans of the page helped to raise over \u00a35,000 for homeless charity shelter, and this year the cause is children with cancer. Whilst you\u2019re here, you might remember during the 2018 awards when you all raised over \u00a35k for the homeless? This year, a dad from Coventry (Matt) is raiding money for Children With Cancer after his young son Eric was diagnosed \u2013 see below ??https:\/\/t.co\/XetGNgPiPy \u2014 Didn\u2019t Happen of the Year Awards (@_DHOTYA) November 21, 2019 In total, there are eight groups, with four entries each, all selected from the best \u2018Didn\u2019t Happens\u2019 of 2019. Even Chelsea Football Club, who have an entry courtesy of former head coach Mauricio Sarri, chimed in to say they had a \u2018tough group\u2019. Voting will begin on December 27, so, for now, there is plenty of time to look through the contenders.
