The Kids' Choice Awards

The Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards are year-annual award shows held late March-early April on Nickelodeon. It is filmed live at the Pauley Pavillion in Los Angeles, California. It allows children across the country to vote for favorite movies, cartoons, actors, etc and the winners are announced at the show. Each year, the show has a different host, as well as live performances. The awards given are small blimps, with the Nick logo on them. A tradition of the show is that some random celebrities get drenched with green slime. The show started in 1986 as The Big Ballot, but was renamed two years later as its current name.

==Process of Votination==
Back during the start, kids would just send in ballots before the show, then the ballots would be counted, then the winners would tape a thank-you videos that would show during "The Big Ballot." Boring, isn't it? Yes. Yes, it.. (puts on sunglasses).. is. So later, they made it into a live show, and the celebrities would come out and accept the award (orange blimp) in person! Just like the Grammys. Then, they put the voting on nick.com, so you could vote on the computer instead of putting such and such in some stupid ballots. I hate ballots...
And that's pretty much it. Click the URL below to go to the KCA website to vote. I'll be waiting..
