Los Angeles - A big green ogre elbowed aside Miley Cyrus - but just barely - in the race to secure the most nominations for the Nickelodeon cable network's 21st annual Kids Choice Awards.
The film Shrek The Third received a leading four nominations, including one for favourite animated movie.
The other three were for favourite voice from an animated movie. They went to Mike Meyers as Shrek, Cameron Diaz as Shrek's wife, Fiona, and Eddie Murphy as Shrek's loyal sidekick, Donkey.
Pop superstar Cyrus was a force all her own, being nominated for favourite female singer and favourite female actress while her television show Hannah Montana received a favourite TV show nomination.
The 15-year-old star won the favourite TV actress award last year.
Jack Black, who hosted the Kids Choice Awards two years ago, is returning for this year's March 29 broadcast.
