Nickelodeon has announced their nominees for the Kids’ Choice Awards, and one has to wonder how happy they are to see so many nominations go to Disney Channel celebrities. “Hannah Montana” star Miley Cyrus has four, the Jonas Brothers collectively have three, and Selena Gomez also gets a nod.


Another unsurprising nomination went to Taylor Swift, who has taken just about every awards show by storm over the course of the past year. One still has to wonder about some of the show’s other nominees, though, which include the ever-so-controversial Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, and “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” (Somebody still watches that show?)

Do you think Miley Cyrus deserves to be recognized so much by children? Check out the full list of nominations here and let me know your thoughts with a comment.

The show, the last remaining daytime drama made by a Procter & Gamble media unit that coined the term “soap opera”, will air its final episode in September 2010.

The multiple Emmy-award winning show set in the fictional Midwestern town of Oakdale helped launch the careers of Hollywood stars Meg Ryan, Julianne Moore and James Earl Jones.

Starting in 1956, it was among the top-rated shows in the 1960s and in 1988 it introduced the first gay male character on U.S. daytime television.

But ratings have slipped to about 2.5 million viewers currently from about 6.5 million in 1993.

“It’s extremely difficult to say good-bye to a long-running series that’s been close to our hearts for so long,” said Barbara Bloom, senior vice president of daytime programing at

CBS.

“The almanacs will show ‘As The World Turns’ as a pioneer of the format, a hallmark for quality with its numerous Emmys, the launching pad for many television and film stars and a daytime ratings powerhouse for parts of three decades,” she said.

The demise of “As The World Turns” follows the cancellation by CBS earlier this year of “Guiding Light” after a 72-year run — the world’s longest running radio and TV soap opera.

Both shows were made by Procter & Gamble subsidiary TeleNext Media, which was set up in 1933 to produce programing to promote its soap and laundry detergents.

“‘As The World Turns’ has been a cornerstone of our business and a tremendous asset to the company,” TeleNext Media managing director Brian T.Cahill said in a statement. Cahill said TeleNext Media was searching for a new outlet to carry both shows.
