Latino Stars Dominate 'Kids Choice' Nominations

By Michael Lopez

The "Kids" have spoken and they love Latino celebrities! A ton of Tr3s faves just received nominations for Nickelodeon's 2012 Kids' Choice Awards, including Selena Gomez, Victoria Justice, and Sofia Vergara.

Selena seemed to get the most attention, earning three noms for her television and music work. But Victoria wasn't far behind, scoring honors for her show Victorious and her TV acting chops. Sofia was recognized in the movie category, specifically for her hilarious role in The Smurfs.

But there was a lot more Latino love to go around than that. Antonio Banderas is up for Favorite Voice for his role in Puss In Boots, Bruno Mars is competing for Favorite Male Singer, and Jessica Alba is hoping to take down Favorite Buttkicker for her work in Spy Kids 4D.

Not surprisingly, a ton of award show vets like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Johnny Depp scored nominations too. But you know who WE'LL be rooting for when the green slime buckets come down on March 31!

Be sure to check out the official Kids' Choice Awards site for a full list of nominees.
