Billie Eilish was also a double winner, winning Favorite Song for “Happier Than Ever” and Favorite Album for her eponymous LP. It was the second time in three years that Eilish had won Favorite Song. Bad Guy accepted the award two years ago. She is only the fifth two-time winner in this category since the show began in 1987. She follows Avril Lavigne, Beyonce, One Direction and Ariana Grande.

Grande was named Favorite Female Artist for the fifth time. Ed Sheeran won the title of Favorite Male Artist for the first time. BTS won Favorite Group for the third straight year, allowing the K-pop superstars to tie the Black Eyed Peas, One Direction and Fifth Harmony as the only three-time winners in the category.

Rodrigo and BTS accepted their awards with short video messages thanking their young fans.

The Kid’s “Stay” LAROI & Justin Bieber won Favorite Music Collaboration. Bieber has won a record five times for most popular male artist, though he lost to Sheeran this year.

Adele was voted Favorite Global Music Star, beating out last year’s winners, BTS. Adele’s performance is impressive because at 33 she’s a bit off target demo.

Kid Cudi performed his new single “Stars in the Sky” and his 2010 hit “Pursuit of Happiness”. Jack Harlow performed his 2021 hit “Industry Baby” (without his collaborating partner Lil Nas X), as well as “Nail Tech” and “First Class” from his forthcoming album Come Home the Kids Miss You.

Nickelodeon reported that the show featured 1,000 Slimings for the first time. There was a running list on screen for those keeping track.

In addition to the hosts and musicians, those affected included Charlie Puth, the University of Southern California Marching Band, Chance the Rapper and Chicago’s Westcott Elementary School. Gronkowski, the most made-up star of the night, proved that he’s not just a top athlete, he’s a good athlete.

dr Jill Biden spoke about the resilience of today’s youngest generation, especially the children of military personnel and veterans. (The First Lady, filmed on the White House lawn, was not slimed, although she playfully threw a cup of slime at the camera.)

In addition to co-hosting, Cosgrove won Favorite Female TV Star (Family) for iCarly.

The show included teaser clips from some upcoming films – DC League of Super-Pets presented by voice actors Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson, and Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank presented by voice actor Samuel L. Jackson.

Other celebs who appeared on the show were Gabrielle Union, Heidi Klum, Terry Crews, Sofia Vergara, Chloe x Halle, Charli D’Amelio, Dixie D’Amelio, Joshua Bassett, Sabrina Carpenter, Sofia Carson, Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and Ralph Macchio.

The 2022 Kids’ Choice Awards were broadcast on Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons and the Nick Jr. channel.

The show will be extra on the following dates and times (ET/PT): Sunday, April 10 at 8:00 p.m. and Thursday, April 14 at 7:30 p.m. on Nickelodeon; Monday, April 11 at 7 p.m. on TeenNick; and Tuesday, April 12 at 8 p.m. on Nicktoons. The show will also be available on Nickelodeon on Demand beginning Sunday, April 10th.

The Kids’ Choice Awards are an introduction to awards shows for many young fans. To paraphrase AC/DC, for those on the verge of slime, salute.

The show had two distinct advantages over recent Academy Awards. It ran a tight 90 minutes compared to 3 1/2 hours. And while many people got smothered, nobody got slapped.

Here’s a full list of winners. All nominees are also displayed in the music categories.
