The 22nd Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards was held on March 28, 2009, on the Nell and John Wooden Court of Pauley Pavilion, with Dwayne Johnson as host.[2] Voting commenced on March 2, 2009. Performers and presenters have been listed at the official site.[3] The show marks the last time that the Nickelodeon Orange Blimp was used on the Kids' Choice Awards logo for 4 years. The blimp was not used on the Kids' Choice Awards logo again until the 2013 show.

According to Nickelodeon, the show was broadcast in more than "228 million households across Nickelodeon's 50 channels in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and Latin America." It had 7.7 million viewers.[2][4] More votes than ever were cast for this year's KCAs. A record 91.1 million votes were cast on Nickelodeon websites.[5]
