PopWatch would like to thank Miley Cyrus for summing up the 2009 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards: "I know this isn’t, like, the Oscars, but it’s still amazing." Too true. Unlike the three-hour-and-change ordeal known as the Academy Awards, last night’s fest of neon-green slime and screaming tweens was mercifully devoid of Hollywood pomposity. The eminently likeable Dwayne Johnson hosted and even rocked some Miley Cyrus drag. (Quick: Who wore the hot little red mini dress better?) Will Ferrell, clad in a skin-tight lycra wetsuit, added Slip n’ Slime World Champion to his long list of achievements. Plus, the whole shebang clocked in at a brisk 90 minutes. Wooh! That hour and a half just flew by! (Could it have been the two glasses of red wine I imbibed?)
Throughout the evening, many people were slimed, but no one got itworse than Sandra Bullock and Hugh Jackman. Announcing the winner forFavorite Book (the Twilight series, duh!), the two got a viscous stream of green blasted in their faces with the force of a tsunami. And they kept on smilin’! There should be a prize for that.
Cyrus made her insightful comments about the award proceedings while accepting her trophy — sorry, blimp — for favorite female singer. Other big winners included High School Musical 3: Senior Year (movie), American Idol (reality competition), Jack Black (animated voice), and Leonardo DiCaprio, who took home the inaugural Big Green Help Award for his environmental activism. (On a more serious note, double nominee Rihanna did not attend. Not surprisingly, no mention was made of Chris Brown who, in light of his arrest for allegedly attacking Rihanna, withdrew his name from the competition.)
What say you, PopWatchers? Did you tune in to this year’s slime-o-rama? Did you, like, totally squeal over the Jonas Brothers? And most importantly, what did you think of Paula Abdul’s bondage-y get-up?

I watched with my kids and thoroughly enjoyed it. I only wish the Oscars would be so entertaining and brief.
Great show. http://www.carnalzoo.com
It’s like, the like, you know. Like these awards, like. That’s what it’s like. Like.
I watched this with my kids and it was fun. I love Dwanye Johnson (the Rock) and thought he did a great job. I loved that it was over by 9:30 and it kept the kids happy.
My friends & I loved it. Definitely entertaining, if a little over silly. However, we were definitely excited to see The Rock in Miley-wear. That was bound to be hilarious. And the JoBros were great, as always!
i love the reaction of miley cyrus when she won best singer the speech was kinda stupid but the reaction was cool and the rock in drag was to funny i hope he does more events like that.
It was a great show! It was so enjoyable.
happy Leonardo won!
ok, why did miley like cry wen she got her award? its like, nobody saw miley winning or anything….. shes only the most famous tween star around these days, next to the jo bros (i cant stand them, btw)…….
I would love to hear Nickelodeon’s defense for bringing the Pussycat Dolls to the Kid’s Choice Awards. I mean really? The Pussycat Dolls? At a kids show? Was Lady Gaga booked? Not appropriate at all.
im surprised they invited Vanessa hudgens and the fact that she even won. didnt u see her outfit? it looks like a stripper outfit. how inappropriate. when will her 15min of fame going to end?
I really do not understand why Miley Cyrus cried. I mean really you didn’t think you were going to win? Really? I think she just wanted to make it bigger than it was. Its not like you won a OSCAR.
I am happy Vanessa Hudgens won the fav actress award. She was so cute up there.
There were a lot of great parts to the show. The Pussycatdolls were wildly inappropriate for this group though. It looked like a vagas berlesgue show—bad call producers.
The Jonas Brothers were amazing! Thank god they won! [:
I love them soooo much!
