Every year, Nickelodeon gives kids a chance to express their opinions with the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. Kids vote for their favorites from categories pertaining to movies, music, sports, and other entertainment. Nickelodeon then announces the winners during the annual awards show, which features a lot of celebrities, pranks, and buckets of slime.
This year, 2007, the awards show will be hosted by Justin Timberlake, who has been a winner himself in the categories of Favorite Musical Group (‘N Sync – 1999) and Best Burp – 2003 & 2006. He is also a nominee this year for Favorite Male Singer.
Considering the age demographics of Nickelodeon viewers - the highest demographic group being kids ages 6-11 - the Kids' Choice Awards are an interesting commentary on today's youth and what they are watching and listening to.
