"I know it's going to be an amazing night, but kids everywhere have already made it an amazing day. So I just want to take a moment to celebrate what kids across the nation accomplished today," Cena said, as photos and videos from marches across the country played on the set behind him.

"From Washington D.C., Florida, even here in Los Angeles, all over the country, all over the world, kids made their voices heard with the incredible March for Our Lives, and it all happened because you want to make the world a better place," he said.

"You see, change is only possible when we all work together, and it's so inspiring to see kids take charge," Cena continued. "That is the true spirit of Nickelodeon and of course, the Kids Choice Awards. So congratulations, let's hear it loud and proud for all the kids who made a difference today."

From there, nearly every star honored March for Our Lives, from Camila Cabello and Liza Koshy to Zendaya.

"I just want to say everyone that I marched beside this morning and everybody out there, thank you for what youre doing, and continue to know that your voice is a real thing, and it's a powerful thing, and it's a beautiful thing, and you should never let anyone tell you that your age should limit you from actually feeling and doing what you need to do in the world."

"It's important because I feel like there are so many kids and teens who want to make a change and they're adamant about making that happen," she said.

This Is Us' young Kate, Hannah Zeile, meanwhile, told ET that she was with those marching "in spirit."

"My heart is there. It's really an important thing, and I'm so glad that we're all coming together for it. It's so sad that it's under these circumstances, but it's really cool to see people unite and people, like Emma Gonzalez just taking a stand and being a voice for people," she shared. "I'm so proud to be part of that generation."
