Last night's Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards, hosted by three-time host Jack Black, saw Heidi Klum get slimed, Justin Timberlake honored for his charitable efforts, and Disney stars dominating the Favorite TV Actor and Actress categories. Here's a list of the big winners from the night:
Heidi Klum Gets Slimed at the Kids' Choice Awards
As we've said before, the Disney Channel churns out some of the most popular and marketable tween/teen stars year after year. Undeniable proof of the power Disney holds in the youth segment is this weekend's Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2011.
It's Nickelodeon's award show, yet is it really Disney's night? Eight of the twelve tween/teen stars nominated, in top TV categories such as Favorite TV Actor (all four nominees are Disney stars), Favorite TV Actress and Funniest TV Sidekick, are from a Disney Channel show. Disney also dominates other lead categories, such as Favorite Female Singer and Favorite TV Show.
Recently, we discussed this exact topic with Meghan Casserly from Forbes.
Disney stars nominated include:
Brenda Song Featured in OP's New Advertising Campaign
With voting in the hand of kids, it will be interesting to see who walks away with the coveted Orange Blimp. Either way, marketers should take note and keep their eye on the next crop of Disney stars. With many of those listed above aging beyond the Disney demographic, a new group of tween stars, including Debbie Ryan, Bella Thorne and Zendaya Coleman, is ready to step in right where they left off.
Check out the full list of nominees and cast your vote here. And, tune in to Nickelodeon on Saturday, April 2 at 8 p.m. ET.

From the old days of Christina and Britney to current Disney Princesses Demi and Selena, they know how to market and leverage their stars.
Check out an excerpt below and be sure to read the article in it's entirity at Forbes.
David Schwab, vice president of Octagon First Call, a celebrity acquisition and activation firm, says that television is ground zero for all marketing to the Disney demographic. "While TV time is decreasing for older audiences with the rise of the internet, for Disney's core young audience, it's central to their media habits," he says. "It's where they get their biggest exposure."
As an illustration, Schwab points out that Camp Rock Two, released September 3, has been watched "three times in its entirety" by his three children, all under seven years old. "They're not into radio at a young age, and their Internet time is restricted or monitored by parents," he says. "So for the five to 12-year- olds, television delivers the most lopsided percentage of their media messages." And for Disney, it works, even after their stars-and audiences-grow up.
"The shows and the stars see continued success even after the series stop producing new episodes-or even when their audience outgrows it," says Schwab. Every few years, new children (largely little girls) come into the Disney sweet-spot age group, and the company capitalizes by syndicating their old series. "The audience then increases in two ways for Disney and the star: young kids catch reruns for the first time and become fans, and the stars themselves move on to develop new properties and take their aging audience with them," he says. Case in point: Miley Cyrus's Hannah Montana may be in its final season, but her edgy line of clothing for Wal-Mart, Miley Cyrus & Max Azria, is selling alongside Disney-branded Hannah Montana merchandise in the mass retailer.
