Justin Bieber leads the nominations for the show, which will take on a different format this year due to the pandemic – although the event will still feature its characteristic slime.
Nickelodeon released the nominees and format for the 2021 Kids’ Choice Awards on Tuesday, adding that Kenan Thompson was chosen to present the program.
Due to the pandemic, and similar to other award shows in recent months, the show will take on a different format this year – although the show will still feature its characteristic slime. There will also be an emphasis on incorporating fans into the show.
“For the first time, Nickelodeon’s Orange Blimp will leave KCA and take fans on a wild journey around the world and beyond,” said the network. “Filled with slime and complicated stunts, viewers will travel to outer space, Bikini Bottom and straight to the homes of celebrities using XR technology. This year’s show will also feature live and interactive fan walls that bring celebrities and families to the main stage; second screen, live voting throughout the night, where fans remain in control; and a KCA award presented by a lucky family chosen during the show. “
Saturday Night Live star Thompson will host the event, which will be broadcast live at 7:30 pm ET / PT on Saturday, March 13, on Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons and Nick Jr. Thompson won a “favorite male TV star” KCA – the award is shaped like an orange airship – in 2000 for his work at Nickelodeon’s All of it.
Leading the nominees are Justin Bieber with five; Weird stuff with four; and Ariana Grande, The Croods: A New Age, Henry Danger, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Soul, Trolls World Tour and Wonder Woman 1984, who are all tied with three nominations each. Voting starts Tuesday online and on social media.
Nickelodeon said musical performances will be announced soon.
