As we sit in the middle of “Award Season” with the 87th Academy Awards taking place this weekend, the crew over at Nickelodeon is hard-at-work putting together the 28th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards. With Nick Jonas set to host the celebration live on Saturday, March 28, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) from The “Fabulous” Forum in Inglewood, Calif, there’s some big first-time nominees this year (like INTO THE WOODS’ Meryl Streep), along with several all-new categories. The folks at Nick hit me with all the nominees this evening, and I’m sharing them here on THE ROCK FATHER for your consideration. Want to make this even more interesting? I’ll highlight in bold who I think should win, and we can compare notes on March 28, deal?
Starting today, kids can cast their votes across 21 categories, including new additions Favorite Talent Competition Show, Favorite Family TV Show, Most Addicting Game and Favorite New Artist across all of Nickelodeon’s digital platforms including Nick.com and the Nick app on Android, iOS and Kindle.
