Nickelodeon’s hit tween series, Drake & Josh ended its run last September, but the show, as well as its stars, are still receiving recognition.

The nominees for the 21st Annual Kids’ Choice Awards were announced recently, with Drake & Josh earning a nod for Favorite TV Show. Series stars Drake Bell and Josh Peck, meanwhile, each received a nomination for Favorite Television Actor.

The show has been nominated in the same category twice before, taking home the orange blimp in 2006.  Bell, meanwhile, already has two of the awards to his name.

Actor and musician Jack Black will be back to host the awards, which will take place on Saturday, March 29, at UCLA’s Pauley Pavillion.  Fans of Drake & Josh can begin casting their votes on Monday, March 3.

Outside of the show, both Drake Bell and Josh Peck are doing well for themselves, with the two actors landing several film gigs.  Bell is starring in the upcoming comedy, Superhero, directed by David Zucker, the man behind such successful spoofs as The Naked Gun and the Scary Movie series.

In the film, Drake Bell plays Dragonfly, who develops super powers when bitten by a genetically-altered dragonfly.  Also starring are Regina Hall and Tracy Morgan (30 Rock), spoofing X-Men’s Storm and Dr. Xavier, as well as Leslie Nielsen, who plays the parody version of Spiderman’s Uncle Ben.

Christopher McDonald portrays Dragonfly’s archnemesis, Hourglass.

As for Josh Peck, the 21-year-old actor was recently seen in The Wackness, a film about a drug-dealing teen who trades pot for therapy sessions.  The film and Peck received critical praise, with the movie earning the Audience Award in the dramatic category at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Aside from The Wackness, moviegoers can also expect to see Josh Peck on the upcoming films Drillbit Taylor, American Primitive and Safety Glass.
