Miley Cyrus arrives at Nickelodeon's 2009 Kids' Choice Awards on March 28, 2009 in Westwood, California.Us Magazine
Nickelodeon's 22nd Annual Kids' Choice Awards -- an over-the-top viewer-voted show held Saturday in L.A. -- always brings the slime, but this year, it also brought on the water works.
Miley Cyrus -- who was nominated in four categories this year -- got another surprise that night when she won Favorite Female Singer for the second year in a row.
Find out what else Miley Cyrus has been up to this past year."I really thought I was going to lose, so thank you guys," said Cyrus, who beat out Beyonce,
Alicia Keys and
Rihanna , who didn't attend the show. "I'm so excited. I know this isn't like the Oscars, but it's still amazing becuase unlike any other awards show, it's all because of you guys."
The
Hannah Montana star was also nominated for Favorite Voice from an Animated Movie (
Bolt), Favorite TV Show and Favorite Television Actress. She lost the latter award to her frenemy,
Selena Gomez , who won for her role in
Wizards of Waverly Place.
Not only was there plenty of green slime, but the children's cable network gave out its first-ever Big Green Help Award during the show.
Cameron Diaz presented
Leonardo DiCaprio -- "the coolest guy on this hot planet," she said -- with the blimp-shaped trophy. The network said the new award was being given to the
Revolutionary Road star because of his contribution to environmental issues, including his
Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.
Take a look at your favorite teen stars from two years ago!"Do you like this planet that we live on? Is this an awesome place to live or what?" DiCaprio asked the audience after playing a film about how he lives an eco-friendly life. "Well, it's the only place we've got... We need all of you, the next generation, to take action. In fact, I bet someone watching this very show tonight will be a part of the solution to global warming."
The show's host, former wrestler
Dwayne Johnson , helped hand out other awards throughout the night.
When
High School Musical 3: Senior Year beat out such superhero flicks as
The Dark Knight and
Iron Man and the
Adam Sandler comedy
Bedtime Stories, the
HSM stars took the stage to accept their orange blimp award.
"Lately, a lot of people have been taking credit for bringing back the musical,"
Zac Efron said. "The truth is, we've known who's been responsible for bringing back the musical all along. It was you guys!"
See what Zac Efron looked like when he was a kid!The fans also got shout-outs during musical performances by the Pussycat Dolls and the winner of Favorite Music Group, the Jonas Brothers.
Not only did children get to vote online -- the show set a record with 90 million votes -- for their favorites in movies, music, television and sports, but they also got to choose which stunt Johnson would do at the end of the show. Instead of knitting leg warmers or singing opera, he had to dress up like Cyrus -- in a skimpy red dress and long wig!
Nearly more important than the awards themselves, was the famous Nickelodeon slime sessions.
Who got slimed this year?
Johnson shocked singer
Jesse McCartney with some of the green glop, and presenters
Sandra Bullock and
Hugh Jackman got sprayed with the stuff while awarding
Twilight as Favorite Book.
