Nickelodeon, now in its 32nd year, is the number-one entertainment brand for kids. It has built a diverse, global business by putting kids first in everything it does. The company includes television programming and production in theUnited States and around the world, plus consumer products, online, recreation, books and feature films. Nickelodeon’sU.S. television network is seen in more than 100 million households and has been the number-one-rated basic cable network for 17 consecutive years.

The other “Favorite Asian Act” nominees are South Korea’s the Wonder Girls, Malaysia’s Yuna, and Indonesia’s Agnes Monica. Charice represents the Philippines for this award. The pop group Wonder Girls have actually just appeared on a Nickelodeon tv movie titled, “The Wonder Girls” which aired last February 2, 2012. Yuna rose to fame in Malaysia for her folk-pop music, while Agnes Monica is a child-star turned multi-awarded singer in Indonesia.

Charice rose to worldwide popularity through her widely viewed YouTube videos, which garnered millions of hits and led to her numerous appearances on US-based TV programs The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Oprah Winfrey Show.She was first discovered by Ellen DeGeneres but it was her God Mother, Oprah Winfrey who gave a her a big break in the music industry and dubbed her as “The Most Talented Girl In The World! Her self-titled international album released in May 2010 reached the eighth spot on the Billboard 200 Album Chart on its first week, making Charice the first Asian artist to enter the Top 10. The singer has also dabbled in acting and has a recurring role in the hit musical-drama series Glee as Sunshine Corazon, the foreign exchange student with a big voice.

The “Favorite Asian Act” is an Asia-specific award as it only appears on the Kids’ Choice Awards’ Asia website and not on the USA-based one. If this is the case, voting for this specific award might only be open to residents in Asia.
