LeBron James Is a True MVP at the 2020 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards With 2 Wins

LeBron James is making history once again.

On Saturday the NBA champion received the first-ever Generation Change Award at the 2020 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. The 35-year-old Los Angeles Lakers player received the honor for his work with the LeBron James Family Foundation and for his dedication to driving change through education, such as through his I PROMISE School.

"Hey, what's up, guys?" James said via video chat. "I just want to say thank you. It means a lot to not only myself, but to my family, to my fans and also my kids at my school back home in Akron, Ohio. And, we'll get back to what we know as normal very soon."

SpongeBob SquarePants brought home another blimp to add to the collection at the Kids Choice Awards 2020 Celebrate Together. Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke accepted the award on behalf of the show. Kenny is the voice of SpongeBob and Fagerbakke voices Patrick Star. It’s been a great year for the little sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea.

For Favorite Animated Series, the other nominees were: ALVIN!!! and the Chipmunks, Teen Titans Go!, The Amazing World of Gumball, The Loud House, and The Simpsons. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, production has had to slowdown on SpongeBob, but there is a spin-off series coming to Netflix. While nothing has been announced concerning it, the companies are stoked for the opportunity.

“Nickelodeon has generated scores of characters that kids love, and we look forward to telling wholly original stories that re-imagine and expand on the worlds they inhabit,” Netflix vice president of original animation Melissa Cobb explained in a statement. “We’re thrilled to continue collaborating with Brian Robbins, Ramsey Naito, and the creative team at Nickelodeon in new ways as we look to find fresh voices and bring bold stories to our global audience on Netflix.”

The ideas and work at our Studio are flowing, and we can’t wait to work with Melissa and the Netflix team on a premium slate of original animated content for kids and families around the world.”

JoJo Siwa Finds Slime ALL Over Her House Before Winning Favorite Social Music Star!

JoJo Siwa had quite the slime filled day in this video from the 2020 Kids’ Choice Awards: Celebrate Together!

The 16-year-old woke up in a pool of slime on her pillow, before brushing her teeth with the green slime.

Throughout her day, JoJo kept finding slime every time she did something, including washing her car, cleaning the counter, and got rained on by it.

JoJo also won the award for Favorite Social Music Star, which brings her KCA blimp total to five!

Check out the fun video below!

From Hollywood Life:

JoJo Siwa, 16, Can’t Get Away From IckyGreen Slime In Hilarious Kids’ Choice Awards Sketch

You can’t have the Kids’ Choice Awards without slime! JoJo Siwa had the honor this year, as she uncovered the gross green goop hidden all around her house.

JoJo Siwa, 16, was the highlight of the Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards 2020: Celebrate Together special! The teen just re-defined being “slimed” — the signature occurrence at every KCAs — and it was epic. As JoJo made her way through her family home, she just couldn’t get away from the goopy green substance! The sequence got off to a bang as JoJo woke up to a text that said “Happy Slime Day,” lifting her head off of a slime-soaked pillow! “Hmm, I wonder what that means?” she exclaimed, giving fans a glimpse at her colorful, candy-filled bedroom! We were particularly loving her gum ball printed desk that made a cameo in the opening scene, acting as a shelf for her sweet candy “laboratory.”

As the blonde made her way to her bathroom, it appeared even her toothpaste had been replaced by the gross slime! Easy going JoJo rolled with the punches, and proceeded to scrub away at those pearly whites, green goop and all. From there, she went to her arcade toy machine (seriously, can we move into this house?) and finally got one of the toys with the impossible-to-use robotic arm. As the plush bear made it’s way out of the machine, JoJo was disappointed to discover it, too, was doused in slime. “What? How is everything slime?” she exclaimed, figuring out what “Slime Day” meant.

The teenager appeared to be producing her own slime at one point, as it began leaking out of her mouth after she sipped on water — yikes! As if that wasn’t enough, JoJo got completely doused outside — luckily — right in front of her swimming pool! “Happy Slime Day, everybody!” she screamed as she jumped into the water. As always, JoJo rocked her sassy side ponytail and colorful bow — by the way, she now has her very own line called JoJo’s Bow Club — and a colorful ensemble! She didn’t disappoint with her silver glitter sunglasses and bedazzled orange t-shirt, accessorizing with a bright green bow.

Later in the show, JoJo was honored with a blimp of her very own in the Favorite Social Media star category! “Hey, JoJo, what’s that at the bottom of the pool?” a female voice asked her off-screen. JoJo then — once again — dove right into the pool to fish out the award! “I won a Kids’ Choice Award!” she screamed from the pool. “Wow, this is crazy. Oh my gosh, this is my first Kids’ Choice Award and I want to thank you guys so, so much for voting for me, for always supporting me!…Even though times are hard right now, it’s only going to make life bigger and better!” she added.

Many A-Listers have had the — erm — honor of being slimed over the years, with the tradition dating way back to 1988! Halle Berry was hilariously and unsuspectingly doused in the sticky goop back in 2012, joining the ranks with Ben Affleck, Will Smith, Katy Perry, Pink, and more! Multiple celebs were surprised with slime on last years’ broadcast, including YouTube star David Dobrik, Adam Sandler, dad-to-be Chris Pratt, and DJ Khaled!

The Kids Choice Awards were originally scheduled to air on Mar. 22, however, were postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The re-scheduled version, hosted by former Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice, looked like a very different production as talent participated from their own homes. The star-studded event also served as a fundraiser for those in need, donating an incredible $1 million to organization No Kid Hungry.

Other than JoJo, Camila Cabello, Ariana Grande, David Dobrik and Millie Bobby Brown made appearances on the colorful broadcast, bringing the party right along with them! LeBron James was also honored for his work in education with the Generation Change Award.

Kristen Bell and Josh Gad Bring the Frozen Magic to the 2020 Kids' Choice Awards


Kristen Bell is bringing one of our favorite Disney stars off the screen and into our homes with her chic Anna costume.

For the 2020 Kids' Choice Awards: Celebrate Together show, the Good Place star got dressed to the nines in an Anna costume and stood alongside stuffed animal versions of Anna, Elsa and Kristoff. She told the viewers at home, "Wow, thank you so much for awarding Frozen II your Favorite Animated Movie! You guys, we had such a good time making this film. We hope to make a million more. Um...anybody else wanna say anything? No? You guys wanna... They're normally very talkative. Thank you so much!"

As for Josh Gad, who voices Olaf, he came out of a steamy shower to accept his blimp. According to the actor, he "was just doing some work in the shower," where he's "doing most of my work these days,"

"A little Nickelodeon Blimp flew in to surprise me. I'm so excited 'cause this is the closest I'm gonna get to air transportation right now," he continued. "So thank you so much for giving me this honor on behalf of my vocal performance in "Frozen." Now sorry, but I, uh, gotta get back to work. All right."

The Disney movie is unsurprisingly a big hit among adults and kids alike. And it's always on the mind of those who watch thanks to catchy songs like "Out of the Woods" and "Into the Unknown."

Congratulations to the Frozen II cast for their much-deserved award!

Millie Bobby Brown, 16, Accepts Kids’Choice Award With Inspiring Message For ‘Brave’ Healthcare Workers

Millie Bobby Brown is a Kids’ Choice Awards fave! The ‘Stranger Things’ star paid tribute to frontline workers as she accepted her award for Favorite Female TV Star.

Mille Bobby Brown, 16, is wise beyond her years. The Stranger Things star accepted her Kids’ Choice Award with an uplifting message, inspiring her fans. “Thank you to all the fans voting and to Nickelodeon for honoring me with this award,” she began in a short video after winning the orange blimp for Favorite Female TV Star. “During this difficult time, I’ve learned a lot of things about this world and about myself. First of all I have a deep respect for our healthcare workers at the forefront of all of this, who are risking their lives fighting for our parents, our grandparents, children. We love and appreciate you so much. I cherish and admire their bravery, work and drive more than anyone,” she said in her uplifting message.

The Brit went on to tease the upcoming season of Stranger Things, which has yet to get a release date! “To be acknowledged at this time for bringing much needed entertainment and joy is very meaningful to me and I really don’t take this lightly,” Millie said, adding, “I’m so glad to have delighted your TV screens for the last four years. I can’t wait for you to see Stranger Things 4 soon. Much love.” The Florence by Mills founder showed off her style with a chic pair of bubblegum pink wire glasses. a lemon print shirt and a casual ponytail.

Following Millie’s big win, the cast of Stranger Things was also honored with a blimp in the Favorite Family Show category! The cast came together for a virtual thank you video, all filmed from their respective homes. “Thank you for the support over the years! Thank you!” Caleb McLaughlin exclaimed in the sweet message.

The teen was nominated in the category of Favorite Female TV Star for her role as Eleven in Stranger Things against Fuller House‘s Candace Cameron Bure, Henry Danger’s Ella Anderson, BUNK’D‘s Peyton List, Raven’s Homes‘ Raven-Symone and Henry Danger‘s Riele Downs! Netflix’s Stranger Things, which has currently aired three seasons with a fourth on the way, also got a nod in the Favorite Family Show category. Millie has been a hit at the Kids’ Choice Awards in past years, nabbing the blimp in 2018 for Favorite Female TV Star, as well as getting nominated in both 2019 and 2020!

Nickelodeon announced the first-ever virtually produced edition several weeks after postponing the original broadcast, which was set for Mar. 22. “The show will reveal the winners through some of the most creative orange-blimp acceptances in KCA history,” a release for the star-studded show, hosted by Victoria Justice, read. Other stars that joined the party included former Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande, NBA pro LeBron James — who was earning a special honor of the evening — Ellen DeGeneres, Lil Nas X and more.

Avengers: Endgame Cast Joins Forces for 2020 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards Win

Avengers, assemble!

The Avengers: Endgame stars joined forces at Saturday's Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2020: Celebrate Together virtual event. The cast won the blimp in the Favorite Movie category.

Chris Evans (Captain America) Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) all appeared via video chat to accept the award and thank their fans for the love.

"Hey, guys! Oh my gosh, this is such a thrill. We are so excited," Johansson said. "We are so happy that the Kids' Choice Awards are still happening."

Ruffalo agreed, noting "the show must go on."

"Life must go on," the Bruce Banner character added. "Therefore, the Avengers must go on."

Renner then said the group would like to dedicate the honor to "all the kids who rooted for these characters to assemble and become what we all need to be right now: stronger together."

"That's right, guys," Hemsworth added. "You kids, you're the absolute greatest, and we are stronger together. And amongst this group, I'm the strongest, obviously. But we know that, so."

Although, Evans called Hemsworth's claim about being the strongest "debatable" and recalled "beating" him in a push-up contest.

"I'm pretty sure I was wearing the big suit…and the 70-pound weight that I had in my back and in my stomach, so it doesn't count," Hemsworth argued, later adding, "Lucky, I'm not there in person."

Renner poked fun at the friendly rivalry by holding up photos of Hemsworth and Evans.

"This was my life for a decade," Johansson added.

Then, in the middle of the debate, Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) joined the conversation.

"We thought that you were, uh,…" Renner said, referencing the film's ending.

"What? Social distancing?" the Tony Stark star cut in. "Aren't we all?"

Ruffalo then encouraged their fans to stay safe and to stay strong, and Hemsworth reminded them all "we're stronger together" and that "we'll get through this."

Johansson, Downey Jr., Hemsworth, and Evans were also in the running for Favorite Superhero; however, the award went to Spider-Man star Tom Holland. Hemsworth and Evans were also contenders in the Favorite Movie Actor category, which was won by Dwayne Johnson, and Johansson was a nominee in the Favorite Movie Actress category, which was won by Dove Cameron.

These celebrities weren't the only famous faces at the event. Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, BTS, Millie Bobby Brown, Kristen Bell and Ariana Grande all made cameos, as well. While the A-listers couldn't physically get together, they definitely brought the star power for the virtual event.

From Vanity Fair:

(Some of The) Avengers Assemble for Nickelodeon Awards Show

At the 0:39 mark Chris Hemsworth makes a bird noise you absolutely have to hear.

"The show must go on, right?” Mark Ruffalo rhetorically asked in a snappily edited, vaguely sci fi-looking virtual appearance during Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards 2020: Celebrate Together event.

Avengers: Endgame won the favorite movie prize from the young person’s network, but the top grossing motion picture of all time had to bask in its glory remotely. This did, however, afford Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Jeremy Renner a chance to appear in little rectangles and zing one another for 89 seconds.

Applause is due to whomever set up the audio; normally these group chats are an unbearable mess of drop-outs, but Earth’s Mightiest Super-Heroes had sound worthy to hold Mjolnir. (Perhaps the mics were designed by Stark Industries, and forged with a blend of adamantium and vibranium.)


As Marvel fans like nothing more than to read every utterance from a multiverse of angles, think on this: what are we to make of Renner making an “I thought you were [dead]?” gag when Downey Jr. joined the call? Not that we expect Iron Man (or, at least, Tony Stark-as-Iron Man) will be back in the MCU, but why is it no one seemed surprised that Johansson aka Natasha Romanoff aka Natalie Rushman aka Black Widow had Skyped in? Yes, yes, Marvel and Disney will be releasing the Cate Shortland-directed Black Widow film eventually, but this is known to be a prequel. Does Renner’s (and everyone else's) relative lack of surprise at seeing Johannson suggest that Nat will somehow be back in the contemporary storyline?!? Quickly! To the chatrooms! As all the comic book shops are closed, we must argue about this entirely preposterous theory at once!

Saturday’s virtual special raised $1 million for the group No Kid Hungry. It also awarded BTS the favorite musical group prize, Ellen DeGeneres the favorite TV host prize, and SssniperWolf the favorite gamer prize.

Avengers cast share 'stronger together' message during Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards reunion

The Avengers cast assembled to share a special message with fans on Saturday.

Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, and Chris Hemsworth reunited for a special virtual appearance during the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2020: Celebrate Together where they accepted the favorite movie award for Avengers: Endgame.

"This is such a thrill, we are so excited and so happy the Kids' Choice Awards are happening," Johansson, who plays Black Widow in the Marvel films, said while kicking off the reunion.

Renner dedicated the award "to all the kids who rooted for these characters to assemble and become what we all need to be — stronger together." Hemsworth used his time on screen to declare he's the strongest from the Avengers cast though the comment was met with resistance from Evans who declared he once beat him in a push-up contest.

"This is my life for a decade," Johansson said in response to the male banter.

Downey closed out the segment saying, "Love you 3000."

This is the first time the award show was held virtually in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The hour-long ceremony, originally set for March 22 in Los Angeles, was hosted by Victoria Justice. Other big winners of the night included Dwayne Johnson, Camila Cabello/Shawn Mendes, and Frozen 2.

Nickelodeon announced they'll donate $1 million to No Kid Hungry, an organization helping ensure vulnerable children have access to nutritional food.

LeBron James Wins Generation Change Award At Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards

LeBron James won the Generation Change Award at the virtual 2020 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday.

"It's an honor to be awarded the Generation Change Award," James said in a video. "It means a lot to not only myself, but to my family, to my fans, and also to my kids at my school back in Akron, Ohio. Thank you guys so much.

"...It's just not about me, it's about you guys as well. I'm so much appreciative. And I just want to say one thing; I hope everyone is staying safe throughout these difficult times. But it's an amazing time because we're all spending a lot of time at home with our families. There's nothing better than being with your family throughout difficult times. Everyone stay well, stay blessed, stay safe and stay healthy. We'll get back to what we know as normal very soon."

James has made a huge impact on many lives through his philanthropic work with the LeBron James Family Foundation, including founding the I Promise School in 2018 to help at-risk youth in his hometown of Akron, Ohio.


James tweeted Sunday that he's going to display the award at his school.

"Once again thank you guys so much for this!" James tweeted. "This awards [sic] is headed to Akron inside the @IPROMISESchool. Dedicated to all my kids and kids all over the world needing any inspiration at this moment and in the future."

James, a three-time NBA champion and four-time MVP, also won Favorite Male Sports Star at the virtual award show, beating out Tom Brady, Cristiano Ronaldo, Patrick Mahomes, Shaun White and Stephen Curry.

James was having an MVP-caliber season before the NBA was suspended on March 11, averaging a league-leading 10.6 assists, 25.7 points and 7.9 rebounds a game in his 17th season in the league. He led the Lakers to the best record in the Western Conference at 49-14.

Ariana Grande’s Kids’ Choice Awards 2020 Acceptance Speech Shouted Out Nickelodeon

Almost six years after making her last appearance on Victorious, Ariana Grande is reflecting on her Nickelodeon origins. The singer, who began her TV career on the children's network before shifting her focus to the music industry, was feeling nostalgic as she accepted an honor at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. While she couldn't get slimed or celebrate with her fellow attendees in person this year, Ariana Grande's Kids' Choice Awards 2020 acceptance speech reflected on how "appreciative" she was for the network that helped her start out her career.


On Saturday, May 2, a handful of stars like Ellen DeGeneres, Kristen Bell, Dwayne Johnson, Camila Cabello, Shawn Mendes, and Robert Downey Jr. virtually tuned in for the network's annual ceremony. While the celebration looked a little different this year amidst social distancing guidelines, the evening — which was hosted by Grande's former Victorious co-star Victoria Justice — made sure to honor the biggest stars of the year just the same.

The "Thank U, Next" songstress was nominated for two awards: Favorite Song and Favorite Female Artist. While the former category went to Billie Eilish for her chart-topping hit "Bad Guy," Grande was honored for her body of work during the ceremony by scooping up the latter award and beating out fellow nominees Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, and Taylor Swift.

While Grande is now best known for her work in the music industry with countless pop hits under her belt, she took a moment to reflect on her Nickelodeon origins and the "tremendous" meaning those memories have for her. It was just a very fitting bonus that host Justice presented her former co-star with the honor.

"I'm very appreciative. And Nickelodeon always will hold such a tremendous place in my heart, not only because of Victorious and Sam & Cat and the amazing years I spent working with them, but also just for Spongebob, you know?" Grande said in a video shared by the network on Twitter. "So I've always, uh, I'm always very honored to be a part [of this]."

The singer then addressed her fans, adding, "I wanna say thank you so much for all your love and for making me your Favorite Female Music Star. I really appreciate it. And I love you guys so much. Thank you so much. Love you."

Other big musicians were also recognized during the award ceremony, which crowned Shawn Mendes' as the Favorite Male Artist and BTS as the Favorite Music Group. Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello scooped up Favorite Music Collaboration for their hit duet "Señorita," and Taylor Swift was recognized as the Favorite Global Music Star. Meanwhile, Lil Nas X walked away with Favorite Breakout New Artist. Although the ceremony looked a little different this year, it still ended up being a night full of superstars.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson encourages children to 'remain positive' at Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson encouraged children to "remain positive" after winning the Favourite Movie Actor gong at Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards.

The 48-year-old star claimed the first award of the night during the event on Saturday (02.05.20), and Dwayne used his acceptance speech to encourage children around the world to think positively amid the current health crisis.

Speaking during the show - which was staged virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic - he said: "I want you to stay positive. I want you to stay happy. I want you to stay healthy.

"I want you to go to bed tonight feeling great, because however old you are, around the world, just know that you are still bigger than Kevin Hart."

Elsewhere, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello won the Favourite Music Collaboration award for their chart-topping hit 'Senorita'.

The loved-up couple - who are currently in quarantine together - revealed they're planning to make their own slime in honour of the show.

Shawn, 21, also won the Favourite Male Artist accolade.

Meanwhile, 'Stranger Things' star Millie Bobby Brown won the Favourite Female TV Star gong.

The 16-year-old actress used her acceptance speech to praise healthcare workers for their efforts during the pandemic.

She said: "I have a deeper respect for our healthcare workers at the forefront of all of this who are risking their lives fighting for our parents, our grandparents, children.

"We love and appreciate you so much. I cherish and admire their bravery, work, and drive more than anyone."
Comedian Ellen DeGeneres also had reason to celebrate on the night, as she was named the Favourite TV Host for her show, 'Game of Games'.

Speaking to the children who voted for her, Ellen said: "This is a pretty weird time right now. And I know most of you can't be at school right now.

"I know you miss your friends. You probably miss your teachers, because a real teacher has gotta be better than your mother in old pyjamas.

"Anyway, hang in there and know that even though this is a really hard time, it will not last forever. Now I gotta zoom. Literally. I have a Zoom meeting."

Other big-name winners on the night included the likes of LeBron James, who was handed the Generation Change Award, BTS (Favourite Music Group) and Ariana Grande (Favourite Female Artist).

THIS English Speaking Video Of BTS V & Jungkook Leave ARMY Bewitching

BTS ARMYs were thrilled to listen to Kim Taehyung aka V accepting the Award in English rather than in his mother language.

The Kids Choice Awards 2020 took place on May 2 and BTS won the Favourite Music Group award. Unlike every year, The Kids Choice Awards took place virtually due to the outbreak of Coronavirus. Yes, instead of having thousands of people and dozens of performers attend an in-person event, Awards and performances were presented remotely this year.

Members of South Korean boy band namely RM, Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, V, Suga and J-Hope accepted the award with a broad smile and thanked the ARMY for showing their support in the virtual ceremony.

The 25-year old rapper and songwriter RM aka Namjoon started the acceptance speech by saying, “Wow this is amazing. Thank you so much. So happy to get this award.”

BTS ARMYs were thrilled to listen to Kim Taehyung aka V accepting the Award in English rather than in his mother language. BTS V’s command over the English language appears to have been improved drastically.

Besides V, BTS member Jungkook also thanked the BTS ARMY in English leaving millions of wondering.
