March 29, 2009
LOS ANGELES, CA — Lucky stars Beyonce Knowles, Will Smith, Vanessa Anne Hudgens, Jack Black, Selena Gomez, The Jonas Brothers, Jesse McCartney and Miley Cyrus captured the coveted orange Blimp trophies at "Nickelodeon's 22nd Annual Kids' Choice Awards" live telecast, Saturday, March 28, (8-9:30 p.m. ET/tape delay PT). Hosted by Dwayne Johnson, the awards show at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion honored kids' favorite TV, movies, music and sports stars, and delighted the crowd with torrential superstar slime showers. Will Ferrell set the world record for the first-ever "Slip n' Slime" by traveling over 200 ft. on the green goop, The Jonas Brothers got a sliming like no other, Jesse McCartney was soaked with slime and Hugh Jackman and Sandra Bullock were surprised with the green goo. Going green, too, albeit in a different manner, Leonardo DiCaprio accepted the first-ever Nickelodeon Big Green Help Award for his environmental efforts from last year's Wannabe Award recipient, Cameron Diaz.
Kids honored their favorites by casting over 90 million votes March 2-28 in 18 categories.
Bright orange blimps were bestowed upon Will Smith for Favorite Movie Actor, Vanessa Hudgens for Favorite Movie Actress, "High School Musical 3" for "Favorite Movie and "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" for Favorite Animated Movie. Last year's host Jack Black clinched a blimp for Favorite Voice from an Animated Movie for his vocals as Po in " Kung Fu Panda." Top TV awards went to "iCarly" as Favorite TV Show, "American Idol" as Favorite Reality Show, "SpongeBob SquarePants" as Favorite Cartoon, and Dylan Sprouse and Selena Gomez collected Blimps for Favorite TV Actor and Favorite TV Actress, respectively. In music, Favorite Female Singer went to Miley Cyrus, Favorite Male Singer to Jesse McCartney , Favorite Music Group to The Jonas Brothers, and Favorite Song went to Beyonce for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)." Peyton Manning scored for Favorite Male Athlete, Candace Parker for Favorite Female Athlete, the "Twilight" series won for Favorite Book, and "Guitar Hero World Tour "won for Favorite Videogame.
In a show highlight, Leonardo DiCaprio accepted the first-ever Big Green Help Award for his extensive environmental efforts. Dedicated environmentalist Cameron Diaz , last year's recipient of The Wannabe Award, a former "Kids' Choice Awards" host (2004) and Burp Award winner (2001), presented him the award. In accepting, DiCaprio exclaimed, "We need all of you, the next generation, to be aware. You're the future."
The Jonas Brothers joined the elite ranks of superstars slimed when they helped Johnson fulfill his goal of being the best "Kids' Choice Awards" host ever. The mega-star trio finally found the key - the musical key of G (for green, of course) - that released the secret slime from the volcanic Slime Pyramid, spraying the stage with the most goo the "Kids' Choice Awards" has seen.
While they weren't getting saturated with slime, The Jonas Brothers rocked the house with their hit songs, "SOS" and "Burnin' Up." The Pussycat Dolls got the audience moving earlier in the show with rousing performances of "Jai Ho" and "When I Grow Up."
Noisier and more animated than ever, competitors for The Burp Award - judged on the Orange Carpet by "iCarly's" Jerry Trainor - were all Nickelodeon animated stars. Nick star Victoria Justice ("Zoey 101," "Spectacular") traveled by submarine all the way down to Bikini Bottom, where she encountered burp award hopefuls SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Squidward. And when Trainor declared "The Penguins of Madagascar's" Rico the best burper, the animated champ joined a roster of past proud best belchers including Cameron Diaz , Jessica Alba and Steve Irwin (shared honor), Justin Timberlake (two-time winner) and Hugh Jackman .
And the voting didn't stop there. During the award show, viewers were asked to vote live on which skill Johnson should learn. Almost 600,000 viewers opted to see him learn how to dress like Miley Cyrus, who was on hand for the tutorial, beating out learning how to sing opera or knit.
The star-studded telecast featured additional celebrity participants, including: Paula Abdul, David Archuleta, John Cena, Lily Collins, Miranda Cosgrove, Chase Crawford, Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, America Ferrera, Megan Fox, Shia LaBeouf, George Lopez, Keke Palmer, Josh Peck, Chris Pine, Amy Poehler, Queen Latifah, Emma Roberts, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Marlon Wayans, Owen Wilson, Alex Wolff, Nat Wolff and many others.
Special programming began early on Nickelodeon with a Friday night pre-show starring the cast of Nick hit "True Jackson, VP." Immediately preceding the award telecast, Nickelodeon kicked off the big night with a unique pre-show hosted by Lily Collins, Pick Boy and JJ featuring celebrity interviews on the Orange Carpet.

Coverage began at 7 p.m. (ET) with an exclusive one-hour live pre-show webcast from the Orange Carpet hosted by "iCarly's" Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Kress.
