Nickelodeon’s own SpongeBob SquarePants was named Favorite Cartoon and Warner Bros./Village Roadshow’s Happy Feet was voted Best Animated Movie by young fans during Nickelodeon's 20th Annual Kids' Choice Awards. Disney’s vfx-laden summer blockbuster, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, took Favorite Movie at the kudo fest, which was hosted by pop idol Justin Timberlake on Saturday evening at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles.

More than 40 million kids cast votes in 16 categories between March 5 and March 31. For the first time, voters could choose to use any of Nickelodeon's digital platforms, including Nick.com, Nicktropolis and TurboNick, and also had the option of texting their votes via cell phones.

Young Charlotte’s Web star Dakota Fanning was voted Favorite Movie Actress while Click star Adam Sandler took home his third win Favorite Movie Actor. Queen Latifah was named Favorite Voice from an Animated Movie for her portrayal of a wooly mammoth in Fox Animation’s Ice Age: the Meltdown. Ben Stiller, whose latest big-screen effort was 20th Centruy Fox’s highly successful Night At the Museum, claimed the coveted Wannabe Award, which Sandler won last year. The distinction is reserved for a celebrity role model who kids most want to be like.

SpongeBob also proved popular in the Interactive world. THQ’s SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab nabbed the award for Favorite Video Game while kids who prefer to get their kicks from reading voted J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series Favorite Book.

Kids Choice Awards: Best of the Mess, a 30-minute program of highlights, will air on Nickelodeon Tuesday, April 3 at 5 p.m.; Thursday, April 5 at 8:30 p.m.; Saturday, April 7 at 12 p.m.; and Sunday, April 8 at 5:30 p.m. Kids can also catch a half-hour version of the awards show on TurboNick, Nickelodeon's broadband video service on Nick.com.
