The 2008 Nickelodeon's Kid Choice Awards

The 2008 Nickelodeon's Kid Choice Awards was hosted by none other than actor Jack Black, who has hosted the awards show in previous years. The awards show definitely had a touch of Jack Black's sense of humor! Helping to introduce this years host was Miranda Cosgrove who also showed up through out the awards to help move the show along. There were over 88 million votes cast this year for the awards, the most votes ever in the history of this awards show!

This year Jack Black made an announcement at the beginning that they were going to have different slime games throughout the show to try and earn at least 25 tons of slime to dump on a volunteer actor. And throughout the show they were encouraging the kids to get on line and vote for different things to use during the games.

Josh Peck and Janet Jackson announced the winner of the Favorite Movie Actress Blimp. The nominees were, Keira Knightley, Drew Barrymore, Jessica Alba, and Kirsten Dunst. The winner was, drum roll please, Jessica Alba!

Next America Ferrer and Emile Hirsch gave the award for Favorite Music Group. The nominees were, The Jonas Brothers, Boys Like Girls, Linkin Park, and Fall Out Boy. To get the winning envelope, Hirsch had to break open a pinata shaped like a guitar, and the winners are The Jonas Brothers. (Not a big surprise here, my girls LOVE The Jonas Brothers!)

Then came the first slime challenge in the slime games, the slimelicious Derby. They had the kids jump online and vote for which derby car would be used, the Jaws Jalopy, Weiner Wagon, or the Jack Black Bobble head. The Jack Black Bobble head was the winner to compete in this challenge. The challenges were all hosted by Laila Ali. Akon was the lucky person to drive the Jack Black Bobble head car, and his goal was to hit as many slime filled barrels as he could in 45 seconds. Each barrel had a different amount of slime inside, which that amount of slime would be added to the slime meter. If the whole course was completed in the time allotted they could earn an extra 5 tons of slime! The course was completed in time and 15 tons of slime was added to the slime meter.

Next James Marsden and Hayden Panettiere announced the winner for the Favorite Female Singer. The nominees were, Fergie, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, and Alicia Keys. And the winner is Miley Cyrus, again not a big surprise at our house. Miley Cyrus also won the blimp for Favorite TV Actress.

The next blimp for Favorite Voice From An Animated Movie was given out by Shia LaBeouf and Harrison Ford. The nominees are, Mike Meyers for Shrek III, Jerry Seinfeld for Bee Movie, Cameron Diaz for Shrek III, and Eddie Murphy for Shrek III. Ford gets slimed going for the winner, which is Eddie Murphy for the voice of Donkey in Shrek III!

Ryan Sheckler and Abigail Breslin then introduce The Naked brothers Band who perform a song for everyone!

Pete Blans and Ashlee Simpson present the award for Favorite Reality Show. The nominees are, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, America's Next Top Model, Deal Or No Deal, and American Idol. American Idol wins and Ryan Seacrest accepts the award!

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Devon Werkheiser announce the winner of the Favorite Male Singer blimp. The nominees are, Bow Wow, Justin Timberlake, Soulja Boy, and Chris Brown. The winner is Chris Brown.

And now the next game in the slime challenge, hosted again by Laila Ali. As it turns out Usher has to blast a human target as far as he can with the slime hose. Each distance adds more slime to the slime meter. Again they make it interactive, as they have the kids go online and vote for whether the target will be a Sumo Wrestler or a Scuba Diver. The Sumo Wrestler is the winner and gets blasted completely through the target winning another 5 tons!

Ashton Kutcher presents the Wannabe Award to Cameron Diaz. Who's acceptance speech was the most inspirational. Her whole topic was that kids are the future. She then has the kids repeat with her "We are the future and the future is bright."

Howie Mandell then announces the Celebrity Burp Talent Show. The celebrities have to burp along to the song YMCA. Using carbonated drinks to help improve the burping is allowed!

Jaden, Willow, and Will Smith then introduce Miley Cyrus who performs for the crowd!

Rihanna and Brendan Fraser announce the winner for Favorite TV Show. The nominees are, Hannah Montana, Drake and Josh, iCarly, The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody. Fraser gets slimed in the face while announcing the winner, which is Drake and Josh. Drake Bell also won for Favorite TV Actor.

Steve Carell and Amy Poehler present the award for Favorite Movie. Carell and Poehler thumb wrestle to decide who is going to read the nominees and who gets to announce the winner. Carell loses so he has to read the nominees which are, The Transformer, Are We Done Yet, Alvin And The Chipmunks, and Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End. And the winner is Alvin And The Chipmunks.

Now for the last challenge in the Slime games, hosted again by Laila Ali. Heidi Klum gets to be a human dart that is launched at a target covered in balloons filled with slime. For each balloon that she pops more slime is added to the slime meter. Again to get the kids at home involved they are suppose to go online and vote whether Klum will wear spikes on her butt or spiky mitts. She ends up having to wear spikes on her butt. She pops enough balloons to put the slime meter up to 27 tons of slime.

Orlando Bloom volunteers to get strapped into the machine with Jack Black to get slimed with the 27 tons of slime. The machine "malfunctions" and Rocktopus has to save the day by getting the fail safe switch to work!

That is the end of the 2008 Nickelodeon Kid Choice Awards. More Awards were announced across the bottom of the screen throughout the show. Here are those winners as well as a list of all the awards I already talked about.
