‘Barbie,’ Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo

Barbie, Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo all won multiple awards at the 2024 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, which were held at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion on Saturday (July 13).

Barbie won favorite movie, favorite movie actress (Margot Robbie), favorite song (Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?”) and favorite music collaboration (“Barbie World” by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice with Aqua).

Swift won three awards — favorite female artist (for the third time), favorite global music star (also for the third time) and favorite ticket of the year for The Eras Tour. In addition, her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, won favorite male sports star.

Rodrigo won favorite album for GUTS (beating Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, among others) and also favorite female TV star (kids) for her role as Nini on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

Post Malone, who collaborated with Swift on “Fortnight,” a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, won favorite male artist for the first time. Imagine Dragons took favorite music group for the first time.

Reneé Rapp won favorite breakout artist. Four of the last five winners in this category identify as LGBTQ. Eilish won in 2019, followed by Lil Nas X in 2020 and Dove Cameron in 2023. The winner in 2022 was the straight-identifying Rodrigo. The category wasn’t presented in 2021.

Eilish’s win for favorite song is her third in that category, following wins for “Bad Guy” and “Happier Than Ever.” This puts Eilish in a tie with Harry Styles for the most wins in the category. Styles’ tally includes two hits with One Direction — “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Story of My Life.” Styles won as a solo artist last year for “As It Was.”  

Sabrina Carpenter took favorite viral song for “Espresso.” Bella Poarch won favorite social music star.

The show was hosted by SpongeBob SquarePants (voiced by Tom Kenny) and Patrick Star (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke). The show recreated the undersea home of Bikini Bottom, the setting of SpongeBob SquarePants. Unsurprisingly, the show won favorite cartoon. This year marks the 25th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants, which first aired on Nickelodeon as a sneak peek after the Kids’ Choice Awards on May 1, 1999, and officially premiered on July 17 of that year.

Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2024 was simulcast live on the east coast at 8 p.m. ET, and on tape delay on the west coast, across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons, the Nick Jr. channel, TV Land, CMT and MTV2.

Show highlights include an opening dance number, with Paul Russell performing his hit “Lil Boo Thang;” a medley performance by The Kid LAROI of “Nights Like This,” his current single “Girls” and his Hot 100-topping “Stay”; Serena Williams being honored with the Legend Gold Blimp, presented by Kelly Rowland; a halftime show moment featuring Jelly Roll, Heidi Klum and a marching band; and underwater scuba divers revealing Jack Black as favorite villain.

The Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2024 will encore on Sunday, July 14, at 10:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Nickelodeon, and 9 a.m. on Nicktoons, and on Monday, July 15, at 9 p.m. on TeenNick. All times shown are ET/PT. The show will also be available to stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, July 14.
