Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly dedicated their 2026 Kids’ Choice Awards win to their late Zombies co-star Carla Jeffery.
The pair reunited on stage at Television City Studios in Los Angeles on Saturday night to accept the orange blimp for Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires in the new Watch Party: Kids’ Choice! category.
Manheim and Donnelly, who are friends as well as co-stars, thanked viewers for supporting the Disney film before turning their attention to its message.
“First of all, shout out every nominee. All incredible,” Manheim said. “But I want to take to the message of the movie, which we shall never forget, which is acceptance, embracing others, your differences are your superpowers, be unique, be you. It’s been a crazy journey.”
Donnelly added: “Thank you so much for supporting us, all the love. We love it so much. We love you all. Thank you so much!”
As they left the stage, Manheim said the award would be dedicated to Jeffery, who appeared alongside the pair in the first three Zombies films and died in September.
Although Manheim and Donnelly will not reprise their roles on screen, they are set to remain executive producers on Zombies 5: Secrets of the Sea.
