Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2020 Goes Virtual: Appearances, Date, Host, Full Details
It's time to get slimed at the 2020 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards!
The 33rd annual award show was originally scheduled for March 22 but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. But, you know what they say in show business -- the show must go on!
For the first time ever, the KCAs are going digital and will broadcast a virtual special, titled "Nickelodeon’s Kids' Choice Awards 2020: Celebrate Together." The event will be in support of those most affected by COVID-19 with the network donating $1M to No Kid Hungry, a nonprofit organization working to help millions of kids and families suffering from hunger and poverty in the U.S.
Although the show will take on a new vibe this year, it will still have all of the makings of an award show with plenty of celebrity appearances, starting with its host. The original show had Chance the Rapper at the reigns as the host, however, Victoria Justice will take over for this special.
As far as the actual awards go, leading the pack with the most Kids’ Choice Awards nominations is "Avengers: Endgame" with 11 nominations, Taylor Swift with five nominations, and "Frozen 2", "Henry Danger," and Lil Nas X, with four nominations each, notes Deadline.
First-time nominees include John Cena, DaBaby, Tiffany Haddish, Tom Holland, Brie Larson, Lizzo, and Megan Thee Stallion. Meanwhile, Will Smith is the most nominated celebrity in Kids’ Choice Awards history with a total of 29 nods.
In addition, LeBron James will be presented with the 2020 Generation Change Award. The award honors the NBA all-star for making positive changes in the world by giving back to his community through his charity, The LeBron James Family Foundation, and other programs.
As viewers watch some of their favorite celebrities be awarded across a slew of categories, they will also be treated to appearances by the aforementioned Holland, Dwayne Johnson, Ariana Grande, Kristen Bell, Josh Gad, Camila Cabello, Millie Bobby Brown, Ellen DeGeneres, BTS, Shawn Mendes, Lil Nas X, Dove Cameron, David Dobrik, Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke, SSSniperWolf, and more.
