Nickelodeon has wrapped up the 28th Annual Kids Choice Awards, which aired Saturday night and will have encore airings on Nicktoons March 30 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT and on TeenNick on April 2 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT, as well as being available on Nickelodeon On Demand, Nick App and Nick.com. The awards ceremony was hosted by Favorite Male Singer pick Nick Jonas.
Taking home the coveted orange blimps for the toon categories were SpongeBob SquarePants (Favorite Cartoon) and Disney’s Big Hero 6 (Favorite Animated Movie). Angelina Jolie was named Favorite Villain for her star turn in Disney’s live-action Maleficent, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 generally swept the film category, taking home Favorite Movie, Favorite Male Action Star (Liam Hemsworth) and Favorite Female Action Star (Jennifer Lawrence).
Other vfx vehicles were also represented, with Ben Stiller taking Favorite Movie Actor for Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb and Emma Stone winning Favorite Movie Actress for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. And surprising no one, the Most Addictive Game winner was Minecraft.
Kids have bad taste
And YOU don’t? RIGHT
Yep
Maleficent, Big Hero 6… and Spongebob… My brain cannot hold all these ‘WTFs’.
What is it that makes Spongebob Squarepants ridiculously popular? It’s not like Nickelodeon will tank if the show takes up less of the schedule.
There ought to be a new rule for choosing favorite cartoon: It must have debuted within the past 5 years. This way, kids will know there are more shows to enjoy, like the well-written Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Outside Nickelodeon, I hope other shows get nominated as well, including Gravity Falls, Wander Over Yonder, Uncle Grandpa, and Steven Universe. The people responsible for those shows really know how to impress!
TMNT and Wander over Yonder were waaaay more worthy than those “things”. Even TTGO would’ve been a better choice.
