With show like iCarly, Victorious and Wizards of Waverly Place having aired their final episodes it will be interesting to see which leading lady & her show comes out on top. With such butt-kicking powers, I wonder if Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Spiderman (Andrew Garfield) will be able to save themselves from the slime traps around the stage or if they too, will find themselves helpless victims. And then there is everyone’s favourite Brit boys, One Direction, will the girls think that slim still makes them beautiful?
Be sure to check out the show on March 23rd at 8pm. And if you are so inclined to vote for this year’s awards, voting is OPEN!
