Spider-Man: No Way Home and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series were among the top winners at Nickelodeon’s 2022 Kids’ Choice Awards on Saturday, where co-hosts Miranda Cosgrove and Rob Gronkowski officiated the celebrations, First lady dr Jill Biden made a special appearance and there was no shortage of slime spilling.
During the ceremony at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica for the awards show, which fans are voting on, the latest installment in the Spider-Man film series collected three orange blimps. It won for Favorite Movie, Favorite Movie Actor for Tom Holland, and Favorite Movie Actress for Zendaya, who also won in the category for her work from the Oscar-winning film Dune.
High School Musical: The Musical: The Series was similarly recognized in three categories, winning for Favorite Children’s TV Show, Favorite Female TV Star (Kids) for Olivia Rodrigo, and Favorite Male TV Star (Kids) for Joshua Bassett. Rodrigo also won a music award for Favorite Breakout Artist.
Among the other film winners were Encanto for Favorite Animated Film and Scarlett Johansson from Sing 2 for Favorite Voice of an Animated Voice.
On the TV side, winners included iCarly (popular family TV show), America’s Got Talent (popular reality show), and SpongeBob SquarePants (popular cartoon).
Billie Eilish scooped two awards for Favorite Song (“Happier Than Ever”) and Favorite Album (Happier Than Ever). Ariana Grande was named Favorite Female Artist for the second year in a row, while Ed Sheeran took home Favorite Male Artist.
Biden addressed viewers during a pre-taped segment that ended with her throwing a container of slime at the camera. “As a teacher, military mother and as your first lady, I am inspired by the resilience of our youngest generation, particularly our military children who are in the audience watching tonight,” she said. “Keep learning, growing and giving back to your communities.”
In addition, the event featured musical performances by Kid Cudi and Jack Harlow. Prominent guests included Isla Fisher, Gabrielle Union and Ralph Macchio.
