'High School Musical 3' Wins Top Kids' Choice Award; Full List


LOS ANGELES (AP) — High School Musical 3: Senior Year graduated with honors Saturday at the Kids' Choice Awards.
The Disney musical was selected as the favorite movie by audience votes at the 22nd annual slime-filled Nickelodeon spectacle held inside UCLA's Pauley Pavilion. "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens was also selected as the favorite movie actress.
"Lately, a lot of people have been taking credit for bringing back the musical," Zac Efron said while accepting the movie's trophy. "The truth is we've known who's been responsible for bringing back the musical all along. It was you guys!"
The show's hijinks kicked off with host and Race to Witch Mountain star Dwayne Johnson zip-lining over the audience of screaming teens and tweens into a "slime temple." Johnson proceeded to spray the first row with gooey green slime. Other shenanigans included squirting singer Jesse McCartney with a fake microphone and Will Ferrell slipping and sliding down a hill.

Winners included iCarly for TV show, American Idol for reality show, Jonas Brothers for music group and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa for animated movie. Jack Black arrived in motorcycle sidecar to pick up his award for favorite voice from an animated film for Kung Fu Panda.
Miley Cyrus was brought to tears when she was announced as favorite female singer.
"I really thought I was gonna lose, so thank you, guys," said Cyrus.
Johnson said over 90 million viewer votes were cast at Nick's Web site. Instead of envelopes, blimp recipients were revealed from inside spy-like steel briefcases. Some held surprises throughout the show. Before presenters Sandra Bullock and Hugh Jackman announced the Twilight series as favorite book, a briefcase doused the pair with green slime.

The green theme took on an entirely different meaning when Cameron Diaz presented her Gangs of New York co-star Leonardo DiCaprio with the first-ever Big Green Help Award. The Titanic and Revolutionary Road actor was selected to receive the green blimp trophy because of his contribution and promotion of environmental issues.
