LOS ANGELES (AP) | Ellen DeGeneres will help Nickelodeon bring the slime home as the children’s network presents The Kids’ Choice Awards online May 2.
The kids’ channel announced that the rebooted virtual ceremony, whose original March 29 date was postponed by the coronavirus, will be known as “Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards 2020: Celebrate Together.”
DeGeneres, along with Lil Nas X, Dwayne Johnson, Ariana Grande, Kristen Bell, Josh Gad, Camila Cabello, Millie Bobby Brown, BTS and most of the major cast members of the “Avengers” films will appear separately from isolation, with a number of them possibly getting doused in slime.
They’ll be among those presenting and receiving the show’s orange blimp statuettes. Organizers say the show “will reveal the winners through some of the most creative orange-blimp acceptances in KCA history.”
Victoria Justice, former star of the channel’s shows “Zoey 101” and “Victorious,” will host.
LeBron James will receive the show’s Generation Change Award for commitment to education.
“Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards 2020: Celebrate Together” will air May 2 at 8 p.m. EST on Nickelodeon.
