Top 10 Worst Things About the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards

1. They have biased nominations

   "Just Dance 2019" beat "Pokemon Moon," "Super Mario Odyssey," and "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" in the best video games category. And SpongeBob wins every single time in best show but lost to "Avatar" in 2008. Also, "Teen Titans Go!" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks" got nominated! Kids are so brain-dead. I bet if there was a category for "favorite pet," Patrick Star would win.

   That's why I only look forward to Teen Choice Awards or critics' awards like GOTY. At least they're SOMEWHAT reasonable. The Kids' Choice Awards is like: "SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs drives Plankton to suicide. Best show of the year!" Fortnite is going to win 2018 in best video games. Because these kids are probably normies.

2. They automatically award anything SpongeBob-related

   

   People assume that if it is something SpongeBob related, it must be incredibly popular. In a way, that's true, but often, you should check more on what a cartoon has to offer rather than how popular a cartoon show is.

   Good example: SpongeBob always makes the win, and yet shows like Gravity Falls and Steven Universe weren't nominated this year. Even Teen Titans Go! made the nomination unlike the two I mentioned before.

   I really think that we should be showing our kids more of shows like Gravity Falls and Steven Universe, the old Teen Titans, and mainly the early seasons of SpongeBob (1-3). Plus, SpongeBob has run its course. I still don't know why Nickelodeon just won't show reruns and end the show's production altogether.

3. They have stupid category choices

   One Direction wins Best Band and Song of the Year every year, and so do SpongeBob and Minecraft. They don't even nominate good shows. When they do, they just lose to something crappy. (The Big Bang Theory lost to Austin & Ally.)

   I remember that one time Patrick was in that Favorite Animal Sidekick category. The nominee should have been Gary. That would have made sense.

   The Best Song nominees were so bad.

4. They nominate Teen Titans Go!

   I know what Nickelodeon is trying to do. They're putting bad shows on the nomination so that SpongeBob seems better and wins. They even removed Steven Universe and Gumball this year (2018).

   But then again, even if they were still in the nominations, SpongeBob would still win because the awards show is obviously rigged. Let's just hope that The Loud House (the least awful out of all the nominees) wins this year.

   Honestly, despite my hatred for this crap show, I'd rather have it win than SpongeBob win endlessly.

   Sometimes, I ponder what kids' tastes are like these days...

5. They overhype the awards

   It's not that big of a deal. They try too hard to appeal to the popular demographic and don't really focus on rewarding talent. Instead, they just hand out awards to anyone who is popular and "trending."

   Hell yeah, it does, especially with the sliming bullcrap. No wonder it's like American Idol. I mean, who cares about going gaga over celebrities when it's really a waste of time?

6. They like to reward themselves

   Probably because they don't want their rivals (Cartoon Network/WarnerMedia, Disney) to win, but they should give them a chance.

   Nick is supposed to host the show, not reward themselves.

   I see that. Henry Danger, SpongeBob, Rugrats, Avatar. Nick, please give good things a chance (excluding Kelly Clarkson, Coco, Soul, Shrek, and more).

7. They have declined in quality

   (Please take in mind that some of this is in my opinion)

   They used to slime people so often and they made it unexpected. You could never guess when someone would get slimed. Now, they barely slime people and you can easily tell when someone will get slimed.

   The people chosen to host the KCAs, the voting categories, the nominees, and the winners are also going downhill. I'll take 2015's host, categories, nominees, and winners for example. The host was Nick Jonas, which I guess wasn't too bad, but they could have done better.

   This year's winner for "Best Family TV Show" was "Austin and Ally." Seriously? The other nominees also sucked. I also don't get how "Modern Family" beat "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Flash" for best family TV show. The best TV Actor and Actress were both from "Austin and Ally," which doesn't surprise me since "Austin and Ally" won an award already.

   Obviously, SpongeBob won the best cartoon award, which also doesn't surprise me. And, like the nominees for Best TV Show, the other nominees sucked too. Favorite book was "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," which I was fine with. The other nominees I didn't necessarily like.

   Most addicting game was, of course, Minecraft, which is one of two winners that I actually agree with. The favorite movie villain was Angelina Jolie, who played Maleficent. I personally thought that Meryl Streep, who played the Witch in "Into The Woods," was better. The other nominees were also okay.

   The winner for best reality TV Show was "Dance Moms." The winner and other nominees sucked. Favorite Competition Show was "The Voice." I like "America's Got Talent" much better, but I guess "The Voice" is okay along with the other nominees.... read more

8. They overuse nominees

   The biggest example was when Nick, in 2014, nominated SpongeBob, despite only having one episode aired that year to work on the movie! This PROVES that the people who nominated the show don't even consider the release date of episodes from commercials.

   Yes, they only aired like 1 or 2 SpongeBob episodes in 2014 because of the movie. I'm fine with The Loud House as it has been Nick's biggest cartoon hit I can recall since Avatar: TLA in 2006.

   I can almost always predict what their nominees will end up being.

9. They always award Just Dance as Favorite Video Game

   I find it hard to believe that the ONE video game that wins every year undefeated is the one that requires children to exercise, despite the fact that a majority of kids don't like those kinds of games! Actually, no, it's not based on their votes, it's just Nickelodeon rigging the awards!

   This is seriously a huge issue. You can tell Nick just keeps rigging the Favorite Video Game nomination to have this deadbeat and formulaic franchise win every year.

   At least Sonic Forces is not nominated this year. Just Dance is not even that good to me anyways. If you want a good video game, play Super Mario 64.

10. They have stupid voters

    The last time, "I'm in Love with a Monster" from Hotel Transylvania 2 won over "Try Everything" from Zootopia. This is why kids shouldn't be allowed to vote.

    Where little kids vote to screw up a show before they are old enough to screw up the nation.

    I hated it when people voted for SpongeBob. I really wanted to try, but SpongeBob has been so overrated since the 2000s.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    They never award The Loud House

    Can't they win just one time? Just one time. (If it's the case where the KCAs are rigged.)

12. ?

    They have an infatuation with internet celebrities

    Ever since the late 2000s, Nick has been focused on adding internet celebrities to their network. This all started with Fred, and then they added more YouTubers. Now, they are adding TikTokers (like Charli D'Amelio) to their network. It shows that they've lost their touch when it comes to being original. Nick doesn't even own the rights to internet-based content anyway. They could get sued for copyright infringement at some point when further agreements and updates to copyright laws are made.

The Contenders

13. They featured Adam Sandler as a guest star at the 2010 Kids' Choice Awards

    

    Most kids don't know who Adam Sandler is, and most adults would've changed the channel by now!

    Him? The purveyor of terrible movies this century? Bite me!

    The only good thing he did in movies ever is Hotel Transylvania.

14. They have unfair voting

15. They cannot be taken seriously

    

    Like seriously, when people mention stuff to get an award, they NEVER mention KCA, unless as a joke to see how brain-dead KCA really is (like nominating side by side). Unless KCA decides to actually take itself seriously and have some variety, no one will EVER mention KCA when discussing a movie or show outside of a joke or stupidity.

16. They award Justin Bieber

    

    Famous because of looks. UglyDolls gives me a good feeling because looks are way less important than personality.

    And the worst part is that he performed at the awards.

    Of course, something Justin Bieber-related will be here.

17. They never nominate Gravity Falls

    Boy, a platinum-grade cartoon made in the 2010s lost to a once-great show that has gone on longer than the lifespan of humanity itself?

    You know your competitors are beating your ass right now, eh, Nick?

    Gravity Falls was nominated this year (2016) but lost to SpongeBob. Who's voting anyway, the kids or Nick staff?

    The one year they had Gravity Falls, it lost to SpongeBob, which is ridiculous.

18. They never nominate Rick and Morty or Family Guy

    

    Okay, this shouldn't be here because these two shows are for adults, and Nickelodeon is a "kids" channel.

    Um, you do know the Kids' Choice Awards are voted on by kids, right? And Family Guy is terrible anyway.

19. They nominate Nicki Minaj

    

    It doesn't get any worse than this.

20. They pit Jacob Sartorius against JoJo Siwa

    

    I hate how Jojo Siwa just comes in and takes over the whole thing. She even paid to win. She is so annoying, ugly, and conceited. I hate her and Jacob. They both suck. In fact, I hate the Kids' Choice Awards too. Jojo is only famous from Dance Moms, which I hate as well because everyone's mean except the Zieglers, Nia, and Kalani.

    I hate Jojo Siwa! She's so annoying! Her bows are horrible!

    Jojo thinks she's the best ever, and she's too old to wear bows like that.

21. They encourage kids to use social media

    

    And you know what's ironic? If Nick has a Best Gamer category (which shouldn't even exist and should instead be Best YouTuber), then they know kids have been on the internet.

    Listen, Nick, if you want to be hip, why are you nominating The Emoji Movie and Ghostbusters (2016), which somehow won despite its controversy?

    Even if the kids didn't watch the YouTubers, Nick should at least realize, "Hey, wait a minute. Why would we have a YouTube category even though any kid who's ever been on the internet would know about The Emoji Movie's backlash and realize that it's stupid that we have those categories and nominations?"

    No they don't. You can vote on the site or social media, choice after choice.

22. They have bad jokes

23. They awarded "Bang Bang" as Favorite Song despite its sexual content

    Isn't the Kids' Choice Awards for kids?

24. They never nominate My Little Pony

    I think that most kids who vote are ages 7-12, and the main demographic for My Little Pony is ages 3-7 or something. Yes, I know there are adult fans, but I don't think kids ages 7-12 would vote for this show (or preschool shows in general).

25. They always award Minecraft as Best Game

    Why can't another awesome game win at this year's KCA like Super Mario Maker?!

26. They awarded Fifth Harmony over Fall Out Boy

    Fall Out Boy is my favourite band! How the hell did Fifth Harmony win?!

27. They run it as a popularity poll

    People only vote for who is the most popular or trending, not by how good they are. Twenty One Pilots is nominated for so many this year, and I'm scared they will lose to some cringey, crappy artist that doesn't even deserve it!
