When first announcing the 420 Awards on his YouTube-Channel, Derek Savage mentioned that his biggest creation "Cool Cat" has nothing to do with it and is not a part of the 420 awards. However, not was his movie Cool Cat Kids Superhero (2018) one of the winners of the show, the soundtrack was heard in the show, especially "Cool Cat Rap Master" and "Cool Cat Loves To Rock", also he ended the show with his trademark line "Remember: Cool Cat loves each and everyone of you".
Derek Savage originally announced this award show to be broadcast live on the internet. However it didn't work so he later published an edited video of the event on YouTube, which took around 1 hour 12 minutes.
Of all winners of the 420-Award Derek Savage himself was the only one who personally accepted his award for Cool Cat Kids Superhero (2018), as "Favorite independent movie". All others were either not personally available, even if Derek said, that he spoke with the management of the winners, or were represented by others. E.g., Snoop Dogg was represented by Christina Gardeal.
Derek Savage announced that he wants to make the 420 Awards the fourth biggest award show ever within the next 4 years.
Jason Johnson was asked to reprise his role of playing Cool Cat and also be himself as a presenter. He declined the offer of both.
