Angelina Jolie Pitt, Liam Hemsworth, Emma Stone, Jennifer
Lawrence, One Direction, Selena Gomez, SpongeBob SquarePants, Fifth
Harmony, The Voice and Austin & Ally were among this year’s fan
favorites, winning orange blimps at Nickelodeon’s 28th Annual Kids’
Choice Awards, Saturday, March 28, 8-9:30 p.m. (ET/tape delayed for
West Coast). Hosted by recording artist/actor and kids’ pick for
Favorite Male Singer Nick Jonas, the awards were broadcast from Los
Angeles’ legendary “Fabulous” Forum, where kids celebrated their
favorites from the worlds of film, music, television and more. Kids
from around the world cast more than 500 million votes, a
record-breaking tally.

Multi-talented host Jonas opened the show with a stunning
performance of his Billboard Top 10 smash, “Chains,” and number-one
radio hit, “Jealous.” Backed by tween metal trio Unlocking the
Truth, his theatrical set also featured a celeb-filled video
montage, 3D elements and aerialists. Hip-hop phenomenon Iggy Azalea
was joined by Academy Award- and Grammy-winner Jennifer Hudson
onstage in a bold and dynamic rendition of their hit “Trouble,”
which continued the storyline of their popular music video. In an
epic finale, Aussie pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer’s powerful
performance of “What I Like About You” literally blew out the
slime-filled speakers, flooding the stage with thousands of gallons
of slime.
This year’s Kids’ Choice Awards proved to be as messy as ever,
from Jennifer Lopez presenting Jonas with his award and a surprise
sliming; to the Favorite Family TV Show stars of Modern Family
getting doused in goo; Jonas chugging a mug of slime in a “Dare or
Dare” slime challenge; and a backstage pie fight between Chris
Pratt and the cast of Henry Danger.
The stars of The Thundermans cleaned up the special live vote
during the show, which garnered over 7 million votes. They beat out
the casts of Bella and the Bulldogs and Nicky, Ricky, Dicky &
Dawn and received the deluxe treatment from the first-ever human
slime car wash complete with conveyer, spinning brushes, swinging
flaps, spraying nozzles and, of course, tons of slime.
Kids and families paid tribute to their favorites by casting
votes in 21 categories, from Feb. 20-March 28, including the newly
introduced Favorite Talent Competition Show, Favorite Family
TV Show, Most Addicting Game and Favorite New Artist. Fans were
able to vote for their favorites across all of Nickelodeon’s
digital platforms including Nick.com; the Nick App on Android, iOS
and Kindle; and through Twitter using #KCA.
The star-studded telecast featured additional celebrity
participants, including: Jamie Foxx, Emma Stone, Liam Hemsworth,
Chris Rock, Zendaya, Echosmith, Josh Gad, Tia Mowry-Hardrict, Grant
Gustin, Debby Ryan, Chloe Bennet, Fifth Harmony, Joe Jonas, Nick
