August 5, 2008 – In 1999 Britney Spears walked on stage and welcomed everyone to the very first awards chosen by and for teens – “your choice, your voice.”
Since then, hundreds of surfboards (yes they’re real surfboards!) have been awarded to teen favorites in movies, music, tv, sports, fashion and more.
It’s ten years later and the Teen Choice Awards still reflect youth tastes in entertainment. At the top of the leaderboard this year were Disney stars Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus (doubling as host), and Vanessa Hudgens who all scored big-time. “Gossip Girl” took home six awards including breakout show and best actress (Blake Lively).
Bringing home the “surfboard” for 2008 Best Action Sports Female was surfer Stephanie Gilmore (how appropriate) and Best Female Athlete winner was Shawn Johnson who is a top choice for a medal in gymnastics at the Olympic Games.
Other highlights of the night included dance crews M&M Cru vs. ACDC with M&M declared the online dance battle champions (not surprising considering the Miley fans in the audience).

March 31, 2008 – Tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams, Detroit Shock forward Cheryl Ford, and race car driver Danica Patrick all have trophy cases filled with championship paraphenalia.
But on Saturday, March 29, only Danica added a Favorite Female Athlete trophy as part of the 2008 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards (otherwise known as KCA).
She joined Johnny Depp, Jessica Alba, Miley Cyrus, Tony Hawk, Cameron Diaz and more by scoring big at the slime fest. The winners clinched coveted orange Blimps during the live telecast hosted by Jack Black and spotlighting the hottest stars of TV, movies, music and sports.
More than doubling last year’s record-breaking record, 86,708,020 million votes were cast by kids in 18 categories to honor their favorites (that’s more votes than American Idol!). A lot of adults still don’t know who Danica Patrick is but kids are obviously paying attention.
