2011 Kids' Choice Awards: Difference between revisions

Template:Infobox Kids' Choice Awards

Nickelodeon's 24th Annual Kids' Choice Awards will be held on April 2, 2011 at 8 p.m. ET^[1] at the Galen Center at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles's University Park neighborhood due to renovations disallowing use of traditional venue Pauley Pavilion until at least 2013. Jack Black will return as host for the third time since 2006.^[2] The 2011 telecast will be the first Kids' Choice Awards to take place in the month of April since 2006, as the previous four Kids' Choice telecasts from 2007 to 2010 were held on the last Saturday in March. Nominees were announced on February 10, 2011 for twenty categories, along with unannounced honors to be presented during the program.

Musical performances during the awards telecast include Big Time Rush, who will perform their single "Boyfriend" from their debut album BTR (this will mark the second time a Nickelodeon act will do a musical performance during the actual Kids' Choice telecast after The Naked Brothers Band in 2008),^[3] Victoria Justice will perform her new single "Beggin' on Your Knees", and The Black Eyed Peas, who will perform a medley of some of their hit singles.^[4]

For the third year in a row, the award show will be preceeded by a Countdown to Kids’ Choice! pre-show telecast, which will air live from 6 to 8 p.m. ET as wraparound segments during regularly scheduled programming; Victoria Justice is slated to perform the single "Beggin' on Your Knees" from the upcoming soundtrack to her Nickelodeon series Victorious during the pre-show. The song will also be featured during a new episode of Victorious, also titled "Beggin’ on Your Knees”, which will air immediately following the awards at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT.^[5]

As with previous years, voting will take place online via the program's official webpage and mobile site beginning on March 7, along with an iPhone/iPad application made specifically for the awards as introduced in the previous year. In addition, the network's Facebook page will also allow voting via the Facebook accounts of 'fans' of the channel for the first time.
