Nickelodeon's 27th Annual Kids' Choice Awards

Nickelodeon's 27th Annual Kids' Choice Awards

Superstars including One Direction, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Rock were amongst the many orange blimp winners at this year's ultimate kid event, Nickelodeon's 27^th Annual Kids' Choice Awards (KCAs)! Hosted by Oscar® and Golden Globe® nominated actor/producer Mark Wahlberg, the awards were broadcast LIVE on Nickelodeon from USC's Galen Center in Los Angeles to Aussie audiences.

Five local and 22 global categories were included this year for Aussie kids to vote on. Throughout the live telecast, Nickelodeon Australia's Luke and Wyatt presented the Aussie winners from a slime hot tub, including Five Seconds Of Summer for Aussies' Fave Hot New Talent, Cody Simpson for Aussies' Fave Homegrown Talent, Liam Hemsworth  for Fave Aussie in Hollywood, Harry Styles for Aussies' Fave Hottie and Sam and Cat for Aussies' Fave Nick Show.

Our very own Aussie, Cody Simpson kicked off the star-studded celebration with a pop performance featuring celeb cameos by Pharrell Williams and internet sensation Todrick Hall. In a special live vote during the show, kids spoke up and declared both Cody and Austin Mahone slime-worthy, with the pair enduring an epic sliming. -Unslimeable' host, Mark Wahlberg was challenged by worthy opponents Pharrell Williams, Kaley Cuoco, Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor - all of whom ended up glorified in the green goo for their efforts.  In the end, even Optimus Prime couldn't save Wahlberg from the massive drenching delivered by none other than Kevin Hart and the host's own kids!

Top-selling recording artist, Aloe Blacc took the stage with a medley of his hit songs, 'Wake Me Up" and newest single 'The Man," while Brooklyn-based rock group, American Authors closed the night with a multi-coloured neon slime-filled performance of their #1 smash hit, 'Best Day of My Life."
