JT Helps Slimey Awards Clean Up in the Ratings

Can you believe Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards have been around for 20 years? What's more, this year's ceremony, held Saturday night in Los Angeles, earned the highest ratings in KCA history, Reuters reports.

According to the Nielsen numbers, the program averaged more than 6.1 million viewers, a 3 percent increase over last year. But the increase in voting was even crazier: A total of 40.8 million votes were cast this year - via the Internet, mobile phones, and other methods - which is a whopping 54 percent more than in 2006.

I'm sure Nick owes a lot of this unprecedented enthusiasm to Justin Timberlake, who was an incredibly charismatic host, willing both to show off his talent and poke fun at himself. (He was forced to give up his Best Burp title.)

In case you didn't get enough of him at the Kids Choice Awards, you can still catch JT on tour: He just added 15 more dates to his FutureSex/LoveShow. To see the new tour dates, read more

2007 Kids Choice Awards: Who the Kids Chose

BuzzSugar — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 09:20:10 -0700

I remember when the Kids Choice Awards debuted in 1987, but Nickelodeon's big event is still going strong with the green slime. This year's awards were held Saturday night in Los Angeles and hosted by Justin Timberlake, proving that the KCAs are without a doubt a major Hollywood happening.

The show is also becoming a valuable place for actors to promote summer kids' movies. As TMNT and Harry Potter have proven, we should never underestimate the buying power of tweens and teens. (Just look at "American Idol.") Nominees included everyone from the expected (Christina Aguilera) to the hilarious (Charlie Sheen - you know, because he's so wholesome). You can see the full list of winners if you read more
