2022 Kids' Choice Awards
The 35th Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards ceremony was held on April 9, 2022, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California with Miranda Cosgrove and Rob Gronkowski serving as hosts. It aired live on Nickelodeon and in a domestic simulcast with several other Paramount Global cable networks, and was broadcast live or tape delayed across all of Nickelodeon's international networks.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was the first Kids' Choice Awards ceremony since the 2019 show to feature a live audience. The ceremony, which was the first since the 2004 show to have two hosts, featured one thousand slimings as well as performances from Kid Cudi and Jack Harlow. Following the ceremony, a "Slime Cut" version of the show hosted by Young Dylan became available to stream on Paramount+ on April 12.
BTS continued their Guinness World Record for 'Most Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards blimps won by a music group', extending to six wins after winning the 'Favorite Music Group' category for the third consecutive year. This also tied them for the most wins within the 'Favorite Music Group' category with The Black Eyed Peas, One Direction, and Fifth Harmony.
A new episode of Danger Force led into the ceremony, while a linear premiere of a new episode of iCarly served as the lead-out.
