Angelina Jolie Pitt, Liam Hemsworth, Nick Jonas, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, One Direction and Selena Gomez were among this year’s fan Favourites, winning orange blimps at Nickelodeon’s 28th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards – Airs tonight at 5pm on Nickelodeon.
Hosted by recording artist/actor and kids’ pick for Favourite Male Singer Nick Jonas, the awards were held at Los Angeles’ legendary “Fabulous” Forum, where kids celebrated their favourites 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 Favourite 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 Kids and families paid tribute to their favourites by casting votes in 21 categories, from Feb. 20-March 28, including the newly introduced Favourite Talent Competition Show, Favourite Family TV Show, Most Addicting Game and Favourite New Artist.
