ASIA – March 26, 2018 – Dwayne Johnson, Demi Lovato, Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello,

Zendaya, Shawn Mendes, Millie Bobby Brown, Fifth Harmony, Stranger Things, Coco and

more were among those who won coveted orange blimps at Nickelodeon's 2018 Kids’ Choice

Awards on Saturday, March 24, 8-9:30 p.m. (ET). Hosted by WWE Superstar John Cena, the

unpredictable mess-fest was broadcast from the Forum in Inglewood, Calif., where kids

celebrated the best of everything they love in pop culture.

This year's festivities included Cena running through the “Upslime Down Room,” “Black

Panther’s” dressing room and the wrestling ring, before slamming onto the KCA stage. Cena

then performed the hottest dances--the Swish; The Rolex and BTS' Mic Drop--with social media

star Backpack Kid and kid dancers.

During the show, chart-topping band N.E.R.D. performed their smash hit, “Lemon,” with a crew

of kid dancers on top of a cafeteria table. Nickelodeon star and social media sensation JoJo

Siwa also took the stage with a medley of her hits “Kid in a Candy Store,” “Hold the Drama” and

“Boomerang,” before getting doused with green slime.

The 2018 Kids’ Choice Awards proved to be a mega slime-fest: from Heidi Klum and Mel B

getting slime-soaked on a swing set while presenting an award; to Favorite Funny YouTube

Creator winner Liza Koshy getting a surprise double sliming at the podium and backstage; to

Henry Danger star Jace Norman pranking Shawn Mendes with buckets of green goo after

winning Favorite Male Artist; and Cena closing the show with an epic finale sliming of the

audience after receiving the ultimate dousing himself.

This year’s show put the power of choice in the hands of kids at home with an interactive digital

experience. Kids had the opportunity to choose what happens live during the show by casting

votes to determine the outcome of multiple stunts including: Black-ish star Marsai Martin

wearing “Guac Socks” in a game of “Eat It or Wear It,” and social media stars Alex Wassabi and

LaurDIY taking on the “Fear Box” challenge.

Additional celebrities in attendance include: Kristen Bell, Josh Brener, Nick Cannon,

Echosmith, Kat Graham, Grant Gustin, Laurie Hernandez, Jiffpom, Chloe Kim, Darci Lynne &

Petunia, Omar Miller, Ne-Yo, Storm Reid, Ben Schwartz, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Yara Shahidi,

Brandon Mychal Smith, Jaden Smith, Hailee Steinfeld, Channing Tatum and Zendaya.

Kids and families casted votes in 20 categories including five new ones: Favorite Pinoy Newbie,

Favorite Funny YouTube Creator, Favorite Musical YouTube Creator, Favorite Dance Trend and

Favorite Instagram Pet. Fans were able to cast their votes on Nickelodeon’s digital platforms

including Kca2018.tv and the Nickelodeon Play app (Singapore and Indonesia only) on the

iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. They also voted through Twitter using #KCA and the

hashtag of their favorite nominee. Fans can go to Kca2018.tv to relive all of their favorite show

Nickelodeon’s 2018 Kids’ Choice Awards will air in Asia on Monday, 26 March at 4pm
