The 34th Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards ceremony was held on March 13, 2021, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California with Kenan Thompson serving as host. It aired live on Nickelodeon and in a domestic simulcast with several other ViacomCBS cable networks, and was broadcast live or tape delayed across all of Nickelodeon's international networks.
The ceremony was held with most presenters, winners, and performers in-person, with some appearing virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The show also featured an interactive fan wall to allow for an audience, and utilized XR technology throughout its broadcast. Justin Bieber performed "Intentions" with Quavo, as well as "Anyone" and "Hold On", the former originally being planned for the previous years' ceremony.
The show set a Guinness World Record for 'Most People Gunged/Slimed Simultaneously Online' with 195 participants. In addition, Millie Bobby Brown became only the second person since Amanda Bynes in 2003 to win both 'Favorite Movie Actress' and 'Favorite TV Actress' within the same ceremony. On March 18, it was announced that BTS set another world record after winning three awards in the ceremony, achieving them the Guinness World Record for 'Most Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards blimps won by a music group', with five overall (one each in 2018 and 2020).
A new episode of Danger Force led into the ceremony, while a new episode of Side Hustle served as the lead-out.
