Those darned Disney stars keep getting younger and younger, which is why I needed help reporting this weekend’s Radio Disney Music Awards at NokiaTheatre downtown Los Angeles. In addition to big names like Austin Mahone, Ariana Grande, Kelly Osborne, Jason Ritter and Cody Simpson, a few up-and-comers needed a little introduction. My 10-year-old son, Sebastian, came in handy there, joining me for the first time on a red carpet, and later at the awards show itself. Here’s how things went down at what’s billed as “the biggest night in music for kids and families.”
Think of the RDMAs as Grammys with mouse ears. Disney’s music acts compete in 11 categories. To see the full list of winners of the Radio Disney Music Awards 2014, look here.
Red-carpet arrivals came fast and with the magic expected of Disney. A solemn parade of Star Wars Storm Troopers led the way — all carrying the gold “Ardy” awards featuring a mouse atop a DJ’s turntable — followed by stars of Disney Channel shows and music. Sebastian pointed out some of his favorite people: Calum Worthy from Austin & Ally and Coppertop Flop; Dov Cameron from Liv & Maddie (who plays both Liv & Maddie, much to my surprise); Francesca Capaldi from Dog With A Blog, who plays neither the dog nor has a blog, but is two years younger than Sebastian. Jason Ritter voices nerdy Dipper on Gravity Falls (“He can’t get the girls,” Sebastian told me) and is also on Parenthood.
