It was shaping up as the best of both worlds for pop culture phenomenon Miley Cyrus, who came into Saturday night’s 21st annual Kids Choice Awards with nominations for favorite singer and favorite actress.
Cyrus, whose television series “Hannah Montana” was also nominated for favorite show, was scheduled to perform at the awards program, singing “Girl’s Night Out” from her hit album “Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus.”
Also scheduled to take the stage was the Naked Brothers Band.
“I’m curious to see Miley Cyrus perform. She’s such a phenomenon and I’ve never seen her live so I’d kind of like to see what all the hype is about,” said Quddus Philippe, a former host of MTV’s “Total Request Live,” who was among the celebrities scheduled to walk the show’s orange carpet.
Cyrus won last year’s favorite TV star award but Beyonce captured the favorite singer trophy. The two were nominated again this year, along with Fergie and Alicia Keys.
Male singer nominees included Bow Wow, Chris Brown, Soulja Boy and last year’s Kids Choice Awards host, Justin Timberlake.
Competing against Cyrus for the favorite TV actress award were Emma Roberts of “Unfabulous,” Jamie Lynn Spears of “Zoey 101″ and Raven-Symone of “That’s So Raven.”
The 90-minute show was to be broadcast from UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion before an audience of 10,000 mostly teen and preteen fans.
