The 11th Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards was held on April 4, 1998, at Pauley Pavilion at UCLA in Los Angeles, California. Pop band Hanson won the most awards of the night, with wins for Favorite Group & Favorite Song. The ceremony is also notable for leading into "Dog Gone", the first episode of Nickelodeon's then newest Nicktoon, CatDog . This is the first show to take place at the Pauley Pavilion in California.
The theme was "Kid Power" as several kids (who were also the winners of the Kids' Choice Sweepstakes) presented the awards with the celebrities and the winners were announced in strange Rube Goldberg machines)
Summer Sanders also presented some awards with Kevin Kopelow, Erin Dean, Jeffrey "J" Dumas and Lori Beth Denberg on the set of Figure it Out
At the end of the show, it was revealed that the kids voted for "Favorite Dresser" as the new category, and the inaugural winner of the blimp for Fave Dresser was none other than Puff Daddy. As Rosie congratulated Puffy on the win, she paused to ask him a trivia question: "What do you think those orange blimps are made of?" The dumbfounded Puffy replied with "Uhhh... I don't know..." thus triggering the green slime to come splattering down on him. Puffy, clearly amused, said "Y'all think that's funny?" before bolting into the audience with his whole self covered in slime.
It's also worth noting that Titanic was the only film to win the Oscar for Best Picture and the Kids Choice Award for Favorite Movie.
Other appearances were from Billy Zane, Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, Angelica Pickles, Dana Delany, Robert Loggia, Dennis Quaid, Kevin Zegers, Penny Marshall, Kristi Yamaguchi, Michael Jordan, Leon Frierson and Christy Knowings
