Nickelodeon's 23rd Annual Kids' Choice Awards (
Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2010) were held on March 27, 2010 (aired live from 8-9:30 p.m. ET) on the Nell and
John Wooden Court of
Pauley Pavilion, on the campus of
UCLA in
Los Angeles, California. With the launch of
Nickelodeon Canada in late 2009, Canada broadcast the awards live as it aired in the
Eastern,
Central, and
Mountain time zones of the United States (it was tape-delayed for the
Pacific Time Zone) and the awards will be rebroadcast on
YTV on April 2, 2010 at 7 p.m. ET. As a result, Canadian kids were able to vote on candidates for the first time. Nickelodeon's sister channels
TeenNick and
Nicktoons suspended regular programming during the 90-minute duration of the award show to allow viewers to see the awards. The 2010 awards were hosted by
Kevin James, who is a first-time
Kids' Choice host.
