Miley Cyrus, ‘Twilight’ top 2010 Kids Choice Award nominations
A surprise awaited the faithful in Tween Nation on Monday when the nominees for the 2010 Kids Choice Awards were announced. Actress/pop star Miley Cyrus pulled ahead of the “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” for most nods in this year’s crop; the 17-year-old was nominated for favorite TV actress, female singer and movie actress, with her song “Party in the USA” giving her the edge over the juggernaut that is “Twilight.” The Gothic-lite romance received three nominations for its second installment, “New Moon,” including Taylor Lautner as favorite male actor and for favorite movie. Other multiple nominees included Lady Gaga (favorite female singer and favorite song for “Paparazzi”) and the Black Eyed Peas (favorite music group and favorite song for “I Gotta Feeling”).
A few grown-ups also managed to find themselves with nominations this year, including Sandra Bullock for favorite movie actress, Jim Carrey, Seth Rogen and Ray Romano for favorite voice from an animated movie (for “A Christmas Carol,” “Monsters vs. Aliens” and “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs,” respectively) and Venus and Serena Williams, who were among the favorite female athlete nominees.
