SINGAPORE, 14 MARCH 2016 - Adele, Jennifer Lawrence, Justin Bieber, Sofia Vergara, Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, Zendaya, The Voice, SpongeBob SquarePants, Fifth Harmony and more were among those who won coveted orange blimps at Nickelodeon's 2016 Kids' Choice Awards. Hosted by country music superstar and coach on NBC's The Voice, Blake Shelton, the awards were broadcast from the "Fabulous" Forum in Inglewood, California, where kids celebrated the best of everything they love in pop culture. The show premiered on Nickelodeon in Asia this morning and encores today at 5pm (TH/WIB) and 6pm (HK/MY/PH/SG).


This year's festivities kicked off with Shelton getting hosting pep talks from celebrity friends including Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, Nick Jonas, Selena Gomez, Chewbacca and BB-8. After being alerted that the Stormtroopers were trying to take over the 2016 Kids' Choice Awards, Shelton jumped into action and battled his way onto the show stage via a super-charged chair from The Voice.

During the show, singer-songwriter Charlie Puth and hip-hop star Wiz Khalifa performed a medley of "One Call Away" and "See You Again," right before taking home the blimp for Favorite Collaboration. Rapper Silento appeared at the Kids' Choice Awards to sing his mega-hit "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)," and DNCE closed the show with a performance of their chart-topping single "Cake by the Ocean" that culminated with an ultimate slime dousing of the audience.


The 2016 Kids' Choice Awards proved to be a mega slime fest, from kids in the audience awarding Shelton with an epic finale sliming, to Jace Norman dumping a bucket of green goo on John Stamos, to Fifth Harmony getting drenched after their win for Favorite Music Group, and Shelton welcoming Jason Sudeikis and Josh Gad to the green side.

Additional celebrities in attendance included: Robert Downey Jr., Amy Poehler, Rob Gronkowski, Ellen DeGeneres, Chris Evans, Meghan Trainor, Fifth Harmony, Heidi Klum, Keke Palmer, Anthony Anderson, John Stamos, Chloe Bennet, Buddy Valastro, Sarah Hyland, Dove Cameron, Grant Gustin, Laura Marano, Zendaya, Will Arnett, Debby Ryan, and cast members from Dance Moms, plus stars of Nickelodeon's hit series Game Shakers (Kel Mitchell, Benjamin Flores Jr., Cree Cicchino, Madisyn Shipman, Thomas Kuc) and The Thundermans (Jack Griffo, Kira Kosarin).


Kids and families casted votes in 22 categories, including two new ones, Favorite Cooking Show and Favorite Collaboration. In Asia, Nickelodeon introduced a new Favorite Asian Sports Star category and Filipino basketball player Jeron Teng was the winner. In his acceptance speech video, Jeron said, "Wow, thank you very much guys! I want to thank everyone who supported and voted for me and I just feel really blessed right now and I hope I can inspire kids to be a student athlete like me and God bless everyone. Thank you again!"
