All the young stars were out this weekend for the 23rd annual Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. Hosted by funny-guy, Kevin James, the KCAs feature all of the hottest youth entertainment trends of the year, from television series and movies to music and stars. With categories compiled by Nickelodeon on their website, over 115 million viewers logged in to cast their votes for their favorites, and Saturday, the awards were distributed.

The favorite movie actor awards went to Miley Cyrus and Taylor Lautner. Taylor Swift won big, taking home two awards for best song and favorite female singer. Jay-Z won the award for favorite male singer, and the Black Eyed Peas won the favorite musical group award.

Favorite film was awarded to Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel, UP was the viewer’s choice for best animated film, and Jim Carrey took home the award for favorite voice in an animated film for his portrayal of Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.

It’s no surprise that Selena Gomez of Wizards of Waverly Place won the favorite female television actress, or that iCarly took home the favorite television show award. Dylan Sprouse was chosen as the favorite male actor. I wonder how Cole felt about that. Spongebob will be celebrating, since he won favorite cartoon of the year, and the people at American Idol can be proud of earning the favorite reality show award.

It’s hard to believe the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards have been going on for twenty-three years. With so much television programming and entertainment geared toward young people, it’s great that they get the chance to let the world know what they want to hear and see.

Congratulations to all the winners, and kudos to all the kids who voted to make their voices and choices stand out!
