The 12th Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards was held on May 1, 1999, at Pauley Pavilion at UCLA in Los Angeles, California. Actress Rosie O'Donnell hosted the ceremony for the fourth time. 3rd Storee, Britney Spears, TLC, and NSYNC performed live from Orlando, Florida. About 6.2 million children participated in voting.
The theme of the awards was an oversized miniature golf course where kid presenters along with celebrities played golf that would announce the winners once the ball was in the hole. Kenan Thompson and Macho Man Randy Savage also played the longest bit of golf leading up to the end where Savage gave Kenan a wedgie, put the ball in the hole and won, where afterwards he got slimed after Michelle Trachtenberg asked Randy what else he got for winning.
The ceremony is also notable as leading into "Help Wanted/Reef Blower/Tea at the Treedome", the pilot episode and first airing of the now long-running animated series SpongeBob SquarePants.[2][3]
