This year's festivities kicked off with Henry Danger star Jace
Norman transporting himself from the set of Henry Dangerto the
orange carpet, where he ran into Kel Mitchell, JoJo Siwa, and Black-ish
cast members Miles Brown and Marsai Martin, before spotting Cena. Cena
then made his way to the show stage through a maze of cheering kids,
slime and music.
During the show, musical performers Machine Gun Kelly and Camila Cabello
took the KCA stage to perform their platinum-selling number-one
single, "Bad Things," against the backdrop of a lighting and projection
spectacle. International music sensation Little Mix performed
a medley of their hit singles, "Touch" and "Shout Out to My Ex," right
before taking home the blimp for Favorite Global Music Star.
The 2017 Kids' Choice Awards proved to be a mega slime fest: from
Demi Lovato being slime-soaked by a Smurfy set piece; to Chris Pratt
getting a surprise sliming in the Kids' Choice control room; to Kevin
Hart getting doused with the coveted green goo after his triple win for
Favorite Villain, Most Wanted Pet and BFFs; to the Power Rangers (Becky
G., Naomi Scott, RJ Cyler, Ludi Lin, Dacre Montgomery) sliming the
audience; and Cena receiving the ultimate green surprise while elevated
above the stage at the end of the show.
This year's show put the power of choice in the hands of kids at home
with an interactive digital experience like never before. Kids had the
opportunity to choose what happens live during the show by casting votes
to determine the outcome of multiple stunts including: Jack Griffo and
Kira Kosarin competing in the "chubby bunny" challenge; Big Sean and
Bethany Mota tossing t-shirts into the audience; DJ Khaled putting the
cast of Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn (Mace Coronel, Lizzy
Greene, Casey Simpson) against Cena in an epically messy arm
wrestle; and Cena and Nick Cannon competing in a hip-hop dance battle.
Additional celebrities who appeared at the show include: Nikki Bella;
Dove Cameron; Miranda Cosgrove; Noah Cyrus; Ellen DeGeneres; the Fuller
House cast; Gal Gadot; Heidi Klum; Isabela Moner; Chris Pine; Zoe
Saldana; John Stamos; Gwen Stefani; Nat Wolff; Maddie Ziegler; and
Zendaya, plus stars from Nick's hit series Game Shakers (Cree
Cicchino, Thomas Kuc, Madisyn Shipman); and School of Rock (Lance
Lim, Aidan Miner, Ricardo Hurtado, Jade Pettyjohn, Breanna Yde).
In addition to the live votes, Nick's digital platforms offered a second
screen experience that included real-time play alongs, interactive polls
that paid off within the show and exclusive real-time updates with
photos and videos from the orange carpet and backstage. From Facebook to
Snapchat and everything in between, Nickelodeon's social channels
captured all of the best snaps, memes, GIFs, videos and pics from the
night. Fans can go to Nick.com or
