US television channel Nickelodeon has announced the nominees for its Kids' Choice Awards 2023, which will take place on March 4 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
Among the candidates for this year's Favorite Asian Creator is the country's very own, Niana Guerrero.
Along with Aqil Zulkiflee (Malaysia), Gen Halilintar (Indonesia), and HIKAKIN (Japan), Guerrero has over 37.6 million followers on TikTok and is known for her dance covers.
For her interpretation of the popular dance scene in Netflix's Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega, the 17-year-old creator has received widespread media notice.
Instead of performing her routines to The Cramps' Goo Goo Muck, Guerrero performed Lady Gaga's, Bloody Mary.
Moreover, Jenna Ortega, Jack Harlow, Gayle, Joji, Nicky Youre, and Letitia Wright are among the first-time nominees.
On the official Kids' Choice Awards website, kca.nickelodeon.tv/vote, fans from all over the world can now vote in 31 categories, with an extra 32 international categories available in various parts of the world.
This year's co-hosts will be Charli D'Amelio, a digital celebrity, and Nate Burleson, co-host of CBS Mornings and NFL on CBS analyst.
