Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, One Direction, Pharrell Nominated For Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards

The Kids’ Choice Awards have grown up. This year will mark the 27th installment of the annual ceremony, and the Nickelodeon event will be hosted by one mature, 42-year-old Mark Wahlberg. That said, when it comes to the nominees, it’s still light and fluffy kiddie fare that’s important — like, for instance, SpongeBob SquarePants and Adventure Time (both up for Favorite Cartoon), or Despicable Me 2 and Frozen (each have a nod in the Favorite Animated Movie category).

In the area of music, One Direction scored nods for Favorite Group and Favorite Song (“Story Of My Life”), while Taylor Swift and Katy Perry each earned two nominations (Favorite Female Singer, Favorite Song — for “I Knew You Were Trouble” and “Roar,” respectively). Elsewhere, singing and acting double threats Bridgit Mendler and Ariana Grande will compete for Favorite TV Actress, while The Voice and American Idol have been recognized in the Favorite Reality Show category. (Sorry, The X Factor.) Oh, and cover the little ones’ eyes, Mom and Dad — Miley Cyrus‘ “Wrecking Ball” is up for Favorite Song, as well.
