The 4th Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards were held on April 23, 1990 at Universal Studios Hollywood. The show was hosted by Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure and David Faustino. The now-familiar orange blimp-shaped trophy was first awarded at this show.
The 1990 show took on an outer space theme, with the stage taking on the appearance of a moon base. There were several devices onstage, including a trash compactor crushing the KCA logo, as well as a control module with a TV screen on the far left of the stage. During commercial lead-ins, a team of kids were also seen working on mission control. The KCAs would return to this theme in 2001.
