A Bug's Life Left: Cover to V.10 # 3 of Burger King Kids Club Adventures, the Kids Choice Awards issue, featuring the Nicktoons and a cartoon Rosie O'Donnell on the cover. This issue features very little onfo on the awards itself; just a bunch of puzzles. Click here for a larger image. (©1999 Burger King Corporation. All Nicktoons ® & © 1999 Viacom.)

The awards presentation from the UCLA Pauley Center was seen live, not only
in the US, but also in Brasil & Latin America. Again, Rosie O'Donnell
was host. About 15 minutes into the presentation, the Favorite Movie
award was presented. A supermodel, an All That regular (Amanda
Bynes) and a contest winner presented the award. (Unfortunately,
I couldn't make out the names of the presenters, except for Amanda.)
Also, as you can notice from these screen shots, a Nick blimp was placed in the lower-right corner, not thinking that it'll cover most of the awards' captions. (All screen shots from awards show; ©1999 Viacom.) |

The Rugrats' Victory Speech:Note: The animated portions of this speech was based on the animation used for Tommy For Mayor, which wasn't televised on Nick for another 6 months (10/2/99). (Tommy at podium) Tommy: Thank you everybody, everyone! I love all of you! I want to jump in your arms cause I love you all so much; I want run through a field of poppies in my diapies, and I want all of you...

(cut to Tommy & Chuckie, somewhere on stage; start with close-up of
Chuckie and pull away to reveal Tommy at his side; Chuckie raises Tommy's
right arm)
Chuckie: Hey, Tommy! Now you're a remote control of your armpits! |

About an hour in the show before a commercial break, there was a list of winners of other categories, including Favorite Cartoon, where Rugrats won for the 4th straight year. There was no complete presentation for each of these categories, due to (1) time concerns and (2) the Rugrats already had their own presentation earlier. |
Just about each version of Nick has their own version of the Kids' Choice Awards. In addition to showing highlights of the US presentation (except Latin America, where the US awards were presented live), they also give out localised versions of the awards. Here's a sampling of where Rugrats is represented in the Awards worldwide in 1999:

The British version of the awards were first seen Sunday, 5/29/99. There was only one award that British Nick fans voted on -- the Favorite Celebrity category. The telecast was the same as the US telecast (the nominees and winners were the same), though it also includes segments featuring "Lisa B", a presenter on the British Nick, chatting with celebrities at the US presentation; these segments are inserted in the slots where the commercials normally go on the US Nick (the British Nick carries no ads during the programs).
