Katy Perry and One Direction's performances, Will Smith's hosting skills and more have us pumped for Saturday night.

<P>This year's <a href="http://www.nick.com/kids-choice-awards/">Kids' Choice Awards</a> are going to be as action-packed as ever, with Will Smith as host, two killer performers lined up and a slew of celebrities expected to be in attendance. </P><P> </P><P>Here are the five things we're looking forward to during the live show at 8 p.m. Saturday: </P><P> </P><P><big><b>Katy Perry's Performance</b></big><br> </P><P><a href="/news/articles/1679464/kids-choice-awards-nominations-justin-bieber.jhtml">Perry is not only one of this year's top nominees</a>, but the "Teenage Dream" singer will also take the stage at USC's Galen Center to present and perform. So what song will she sing? What will she wear? Will her hair still be blue? One of Perry's biggest hits, "Firework," is up for Favorite Song. She is also nominated for Favorite Female Singer and Favorite Voice in an Animated Movie for her role in "The Smurfs." </P><P> </P><P><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:750667/cp~vid%3D750667%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A750667" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> </P><P> </P><P><big><b>A Host With Big Willie Style</b></big><br> </P><P>Nickelodeon hit the jackpot of high-profile celeb hosts in landing Will Smith for their master of ceremonies this year. Although he's one of the biggest stars around, it's been awhile since we've seen the former Fresh Prince. We've seen a lot of his son Jaden and daughter Willow, who are becoming big stars in their own right, but we are psyched to see what Smith has planned as host. Will he be joined onstage by his kids? Will he incorporate a few of his famous friends into the act, like Tom Cruise? Will we get a sneak peek at new footage from the upcoming "Men in Black III"? We'll have to wait and see. </P><P> </P><P><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:722144/cp~vid%3D722144%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A722144" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> </P><P> </P><P><big><b>One Direction Break Hearts Stateside</b></big><br> </P><P>The cute and charming lads of "it" boy band One Direction</link> will no doubt bring the house down with whatever they perform on the show. A word of advice to the lucky folks attending the show: Think about bringing earplugs to protect yourself from the enthusiastic, high-pitched screams that will take over the Galen Center the instant the British pop group takes the stage. And they're not taking the opportunity lightly. "Kids' Choice is the biggest night on Nickelodeon," <a href="/news/articles/1682126/one-direction-kids-choice-awards.jhtml">Niall Horan told MTV News</a> about the magnitude of their appearance on the show. "All the big stars are going to be there, and when we found out it was just us and Katy Perry performing, we were like, 'Geez, this is a big deal.' " </P><P> </P><P><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:731798/cp~vid%3D731798%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A731798" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> </P><P> </P><P><big><b>An Appearance By a First Lady</b></big><br> </P><P>Talk about upping the style and class factor! The fact that the very well-respected FLOTUS will be on hand to <a href="/news/articles/1681879/michelle-obama-taylor-swift-kids-choice-awards.jhtml">present Taylor Swift with an award</a> is a really big deal. Michelle Obama will honor Swift with the Big Help Award, in recognition of her philanthropic efforts, including work with U.S. tornado and flood survivors. Obama herself was the recipient of the award in 2010, in recognition of her Let's Move! Campaign, which champions healthier lifestyles for kids. And, as if that weren't enough to establish her Nick cred, earlier this year, Obama also appeared on a special episode of "iCarly" to promote her Joining Forces initiative to support military families. </P><P> </P><P><big><b>Who Will Get Slimed?</b></big><br> </P><P>On to the most intriguing and entertaining part of the annual awards show: Who will get slimed? Despite the sticky, icky and total-mess factor that is involved with being covered from head to toe in the network's trademark green slime, it is considered an honor to get hit with the goo, which is said to be a mixture of green Jell-O, shampoo, oatmeal and flour. The illustrious list of previously <a href="/news/articles/1634868/katy-perry-gets-slimed-at-kids-choice-awards.jhtml">slimed celebs includes: Katy Perry</a>, Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Justin Timberlake, the Jonas Brothers, Jackson Rathbone and Russell Brand. So who's going down this year? Traditionally, the host is a prime target toward the end of the show, so we can probably count on seeing Smith covered in green, but who else? Maybe Perry or one of the presenters — Chris Rock, Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield, Zac Efron, Victoria Justice, Big Time Rush or Cee Lo Green. </P><P> </P><P><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:497712/cp~vid%3D497712%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A497712" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> </P><P> </P><P><b>Don't miss the <a href="http://www.nick.com/kids-choice-awards/">Kids' Choice Awards</a> on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Nickelodeon.</b></p>
