WHO'S READY TO GET SLIMED?????? - Nickelodeon Declares Kids Choice Awards 2023 Voting Open!; Unveils This Years's KCA Logo, Announces Hosts and Nominees

 It's that time of year once again for the biggest night of children's entertainment where kids take over the Nickelodeon channel to vote for their favorite children's content of the last year, with celebrities, music and SLIME...TONS AND TONS OF SLIME.

Nickelodeon has today announced the official voting nominations for the 2023 36th Annual Kids Choice Awards ceremony broadcasting LIVE from the Microsoft Windows XP Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California on Saturday March 4th at 7pm ET/6c. This year's ceremony will be hosted by NFL sports anchor Nate Burleson and fellow KCA winner and recording artist Charli D'Amelio with SpongeBob voice actor Tom Kenny once again as the continuity announcer for the main event. It''s currently unknown what other biggest stars or music performances will be featured for this year's Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards broadcast.

The voting for this year is BIGGER than any ceremony before or since as each of the categories will have up to eight nominees instead of the typical four to six used for typical awards show votings. We don't know who will win but we're pretty sure that SpongeBob is gonna win the Best Animated Cartoon Series category AGAIN as he has taken that honor for the last 20 years.
