Adam Sandler, Beyonce, and Pirates Win At Kids’ Choice

Believe it or not, the Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards are a force to be reckoned with. With celebrities like Nicole Kidman, Jessica Alba, Ben Stiller, and Orlando Bloom in attendance, the KCA command serious star power.

The show aired live on Nickelodeon on Saturday night and was hosted by Justin Timberlake. The winners of the Kids' Choice Awards are selected using all of the different Nickelodeon digital platforms, including voting online through Nick.com or even texting in votes, like they do on American Idol.

This year more than 40 million kids picked the winners in 16 categories, which was 13 million more than last year's record. The ceremony took place last night at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion.

In the movie awards categories, Adam Sandler won Favorite Movie Actor for Click, an award that he's won three times now. Favorite Movie Actress went to Dakota Fanning for her work in Charlotte's Web. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest won Favorite Movie and Happy Feet won Favorite Animated Movie.

Justin Timberlake won Favorite Male Singer and Beyonce Knowles won Favorite Female Singer. "Irreplaceable" by Beyonce Knowles won Favorite Song and Black Eyed Peas won Favorite Group. It would appear that the Kids’ Choice are a viable barometer for what’s good and what’s not.
