STAR SLIME FEST IS BACK!
Star slime fest is back! Justin Timberlake hosts this year's Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards 20th Anniversary celebration, airing live March 31, from UCLA's Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles.
Singer/actor/two-time Best Burp Award winner and 2007 Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards nominee Justin Timberlake will host Nickelodeon's 20th Annual Kids' Choice Awards , Saturday, March 31 (8-9:30 p.m. ET/PT), when kids honor their favorites from the worlds of film, music, sports and television in a star-studded live, milestone telecast (tape delayed for West Coast) from UCLA's Pauley Pavilion. Nickelodeon's no-holds-barred kudos/mess-fest will mark two decades monumentally by breaking the slime barrier. True to tradition, kids will rule and stars will rejoice with them.
"We're celebrating Kids' Choice's 20th anniversary in record-breaking Nickelodeon style, which means this will be the biggest, loudest, messiest spectacle in the show's history, and Justin Timberlake is just the superstar to lead the fun," said Marjorie Cohn, Executive Vice President, Development and Original Programming, Nickelodeon and an Executive Producer for the award show. "Justin is a big kid at heart, and kids love that about him. He's a Kids' Choice Award winner, presenter, performer and slime recipient. Best of all, he's a great sport who's always game for anything."
"I'm revving up to have an even bigger blast than usual at Nickelodeon's 20th Kids' Choice Awards, and I'm thrilled and proud to be hosting the 20th anniversary show," said Timberlake, who has won three Kids' Choice Blimp Awards: Favorite Musical Group ('N Sync - 1999) and Best Burp - 2003 & 2006. "There's nothing like Kids' Choice for 'un-adult-erated' fun. While honoring kids' opinions, it taps into the kid in all of us."
This year's list abounds with dual nods. Treasured noms went to Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest for Favorite Movie and its star, Johnny Depp for Favorite Male Movie Star. Ice Age: The Meltdown got a solid pair for Favorite Animated Movie and Favorite Voice from an Animated Movie (Queen Latifah as Ellie the Wooly Mammoth), as did animated flick Over the Hedge and Bruce Willis (voice of RJ the Raccoon).
