Spider-Man: Brand New Day Takes Top Movie Prize at 2026 Kids' Choice Awards
Spider-Man: Brand New Day won Favorite Movie at the 2026 Kids' Choice Awards, and its two lead actors each took home a trophy of their own.
Zendaya won Favorite Movie Actress for playing MJ. Tom Holland won Favorite Movie Actor for playing Peter Parker, the character also known as Spider-Man, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The music categories went to BTS. The group won Favorite Music Group or Duo, and their song "Swim" took Favorite Song. Their album Arirang was named Favorite Album.
Animation had a strong night too. Zootopia 2 won Favorite Animated Movie. In KPop Demon Hunters, Arden Cho won Favorite Female Animated Voice From a Movie for voicing Rumi, and Ahn Hyo-seop won Favorite Male Animated Voice From a Movie for voicing Jinu.
Chris Pratt received the King of Comedy Award. Alex Warren hosted the show.
The awards aired live on Nov. 14 from Television City in Los Angeles, from 8 to 9:30 p.m. ET (5 to 6:30 p.m. PT). This year was the first time the show aired on CBS and Nickelodeon at the same time. Viewers who subscribe to Paramount+ at the Premium level could also watch the live stream on that service.
The broadcast also brought in three new categories: watch party: kids' choice, favorite onscreen duo/trio, and favorite clutch player of the year. The show was produced by Done + Dusted.
Kids' Choice voting is run by the networks and fans, so the winners reflect what young viewers picked rather than a panel of critics. For families, the simultaneous airing means the same ceremony could be found on broadcast television or on a kids' channel, with the streaming option for subscribers who wanted it on their phones or tablets.
