Taylor Lautner wins early at Kids’ Choice Awards
LOS ANGELES — Team Jacob is triumphant at the Kids’ Choice Awards.
“Twilight” star Taylor Lautner picked up the first trophy at Saturday’s 23rd annual shenanigan-packed Nickelodeon spectacle inside UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion. Lautner snared the favorite actor trophy for his role as hunky werewolf Jacob Black in “New Moon.”
His “Twilight” character is also up for the inaugural cutest couple award, along with co-star Kristin Stewart, who plays Bella in the movie.
“I have to admit I have always dreamt of winning one of these orange blimps,” Lautner told the squealing crowd.
The fan-favorite ceremony’s host, “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” actor-comedian Kevin James, kicked off the show by performing a hip-hop dance routine as Adam Sandler serenaded him from above while dressed as an angel.
Nickelodeon is owned by Viacom Inc.
