It’s the slimiest time of year again! The Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards are back and better than ever, with some of the biggest names in pop culture gracing this year’s star-stacked list of nominees.
Hosted by SpongeBob SquarePants (voiced by Tom Kenny) and Patrick Star (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke), the annual slime-filled awards show will premiere live from the iconic duo’s undersea home of Bikini Bottom on Saturday, July 13.
Taylor Swift leads the pack with six nominations, including Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Album and Favorite Global Music Star. Tying for the second spot are superstars Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo and Justin Timberlake, with four nominations each.
Swift’s beau, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, also nabbed a nod for Favorite Male Sports Star.
The nominations list boasts 50 first-time nods, including Halle Bailey, Austin Butler, Sabrina Carpenter, Kai Cenat, Timothée Chalamet, Luke Combs, Ariana DeBose, Ayo Edebiri, Ryan Gosling, Reneé Rapp, Margot Robbie and Paul Rudd.
Musical performances and presenters will be announced at a later date.
According to a press release, this year’s show will feature enhanced graphics, high-tech motion capture and augmented reality; fun celebrity collaborations and stunts as Nickelodeon celebrates SpongeBob SquarePants’ special birthday; and the network’s signature orange blimp award and epic slimings.
The 2024 Kids’ Choice Awards will be simulcast across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons, the Nick Jr. channel, TVLand, CMT and MTV2.
