'For the angels among us': Millie Bobby Brown wears names of Parkland victims as she is honored at Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards

• e-mail

As Eleven, she is no stranger to stepping in to save the day where the adults have failed.

And Millie Bobby Brown honored the real life child heroes marching around the country on Saturday when she was named Favorite TV Actress at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.

The actress received a kiss from co-stars Caleb McLaughlin and Sadie Sink as presenters Hailee Steinfeld and A Wrinkle In Time's Storm Reid announced her as the winner.

'For the angels among us': Millie Bobby Brown wore the names of the Parkland victims as she was honored at Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday

'Thank you so much for this award, and to Nickelodeon for bringing us all together,' she said. 'As we saw a moment ago, the March for Our Lives demonstrations that took place all over the world today have inspired me and impacted us all in one way or another.

'I'm fortunate to be here tonight to receive an award as an actor. I'm so very grateful, and I appreciate all the love and support of my fans, and the opportunity that our show, Stranger Things, has created for me.'  

'But more than anything, I get to be up here, and I'm privileged to have a voice that can be heard, one that I can use to hopefully make a positive difference and help influence change,' she continued. 

'Okay, so there's an amazing support, love and kindness in this room right now, and I want to encourage everyone to embrace it and to pass it on.' 

Tribute: 'As we saw a moment ago, the March for Our Lives demonstrations that took place all over the world today have inspired me and impacted us all in one way or another,' she said

No surprise: Hailee Steinfeld and A Wrinkle In Time's Storm Reid presented her with the award for Favorite TV actress

Tears: With her voice cracking she concluded 'For the angels among us, your spirit lives on. This is for you.'

With her voice cracking she concluded: 'For the angels among us, your spirit lives on. This is for you.'

Turning around, she revealed the back of her all-denim outfit was adorned with all 17 names of the victims of the Parkland massacre, who were gunned down at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine's Day. 

Host John Cena was the first to mention the March For Our Lives at the very top of the show, expertly handling the serious slant on what is normally a fun and goofy show.

Shining star: Millie blew a kiss at the camera as she sat in the crowd

Sitting pretty! The Stranger Things star was all smiles

'Kids everywhere have already made it an amazing day': Host John Cena was the first to mention the March For Our Lives at the very top of the show, expertly handling the serious slant on what is normally a fun and goofy show

'I know it's going to be an amazing night, but kids everywhere have already made it an amazing day,' he said in his opening monologue, as images from the marches flashed behind him. 'So I just want to take a moment to celebrate what kids across the nation accomplished today.

He added: 'You see, change is only possible when we all work together, and it's so inspiring to see kids take charge.'

It wasn't long before Millie was back on stage again, this time with Lucas and Max, as their Netflix megahit was named Favourite TV Show, beating out The Big Bang Theory, The Flash and Fuller House. 

Doubling up: It wasn't long before she was back on stage again, this time with Caleb McLaughlin and Sadie Sink

Number one: Stranger Things was named Favorite TV Show, beating out The Big Bang Theory, The Flash and Fuller House

Cool kids: Millie caught up with Jaden Smith at the bash

Marched here: Camila Cabello, collecting her blimp for Favorite Breakout Artist, revealed that she came to the ceremony straight from marching herself

Standing up: 'I just came from the march, and it made me feel so inspired,' she said, dedicating her award to the young people who were being brave and speaking out

Big part: A blimp-suited Nick Cannon named Liza Koshy as Favorite Funny YouTube Creator, who in turn became the night's first slime victim

Slimed: 'This generation is an inspiration to every generation, continue to march stand and kneel for what you believe in!' she roared before being doused in the green goo.

The victims of the schools shooting — and the coinciding marches sparked by their surviving classmates — weighed heavy on everyone's minds, with most of the night winners praising their peers taking to the streets against gun violence and the lax laws that purport to control it.

'I just came from the march, and it made me feel so inspired,' she said, dedicating her award to the young people who were being brave and speaking out.

Snow joke: A messy stage is nothing new to the Kids' Choice Awards, but for a change it wasn't goo that smothered Channing Tatum, Zendaya and Yara Shahidi when they next stepped out

Head's up: Channing was trapped under an avalanche as he tried to tell the crowd about his new animated feature Littlefoot... which no-one was listening to, so distracting was the snow

Duck! The trio then got embroiled in a snowball fight with the crowd

'I just wanted to tell every kid watching at home, the future is yours, the world is yours,' she said.  

A blimp-suited Nick Cannon named Liza Koshy as Favorite Funny YouTube Creator, who in turn became the night's first slime victim.

'This generation is an inspiration to every generation, continue to march stand and kneel for what you believe in!' she roared before being doused in the green goo.

Marcher: Zendaya too made a second trip to the podium, this time to scoop her Favorite Movie Actress Award for The Greatest Showman and Spider-Man: Homecoming, as she revealed she too had marched earlier in the day

Gross! Black-ish's Marsai Martin suffered a fate worse than sliming, when voters chose a 'guac sock' for her to wear

A messy stage is nothing new to the Kids' Choice Awards, but for a change it wasn't goo that smothered Channing Tatum, Zendaya and Yara Shahidi when they next stepped out.

Instead they were covered in fake snow — and were pummeled with snowballs — as they came out to give a lengthy description of their new animated feature Smallfoot, which no-one was paying attention to, so distracting was the white powder. 

Zendaya too made a second trip to the podium, this time to scoop her Favorite Movie Actress Award for The Greatest Showman and Spider-Man: Homecoming, as she revealed she too had marched earlier in the day.  

Good shot: There were plenty more slimings during the night, including one for Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez

Got her: After a particularly energetic set, Favorite Musical YouTube Creator winner JoJo Siwa had her many-colored ensemble consolidated into a single soggy green

Soaked: There was a particularly good dose for America's Got Talent judges Mel B and Heidi Klum, who ate gallons of it as they presented Zendaya's award from a swing set

No escape: Even those who weren't able to make the ceremony weren't safe, such as Favorite Male Artist Shawn Mendes, who opened his trailer door to discover he'd won an award as well as three buckets of goo to the face

'I just want to say everyone that I marched beside this morning and everybody out there, thank you for what you're doing, and continue to know that your voice is a real thing, and it's a powerful thing, and it's a beautiful thing,' she said.

'And you should never let anyone tell you that your age should limit you from actually feeling and doing what you need to do in the world.'

To take the award she topped an impressive field that also featured Anna Kendrick, Daisy Ridley, Emma Watson, Gal Gadot and Zoe Saldana.

Rock solid bet: Another who was handed a blimp remotely — two in fact — but managed to escape a sliming was Dwayne The Rock Johnson, who was honored for Favorite Movie Actor, while also accepting Favorite Movie for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

Zing! In the funniest acceptance speech of the night, he boasted that he'd managed to beat all the other nominated superheroes, including Batman Ben Affleck, Thor Chris Hemsworth, Star-Lord Chris Pratt, 'and Ant Man Kevin Hart.'

Aww: The former wrestler then revealed the kids had made a 'special award' for his co-star — a tiny version of the Nick blimp trophy — which was being presented to Hart for being 'The Smallest person In The World.'

And finally: To close the show out, 'rapper, actor and mogul in the making' Jaden Smith arrived on stage to introduce N.E.R.D. (pictured with Patrick Schwarzeneger)

In the funniest acceptance speech of the night, he boasted that he'd managed to beat all the other nominated superheroes, including Batman Ben Affleck, Thor Chris Hemsworth, Star-Lord Chris Pratt, 'and Ant Man Kevin Hart.'  

'Kevin Hart's not Ant Man?' he puzzled after being corrected off camera. 'How is Kevin Hart not Ant Man??'

The former wrestler then revealed the kids had made a 'special award' for his co-star — a tiny version of the Nick blimp trophy — which was being presented to Hart for being 'The Smallest person In The World.'  

'The truth will set you free, but first it will p*ss you off,': The group performance of Lemon, and managed to sneak a minor swear word past the censors

Wow: They kicked off an epic tabletop dance battle between a troupe of super-talented kids

With that there was nothing left to do but give host Cena the most massive sliming of the night as he closed the show.
