Seriously how this this still a thing?

Couldn’t agree more, also I may be the only one who is petty enough to write a whole paragraph on this, but what’s with the constant winning of Disney or Pixar for the Animated Short category? I mean I understand why it’s the case, and I don’t mean to say that all of the Disney or Pixar Shorts that won were undeserving, some were, but its just the sheer domination of them over that category that gets me. The Animated Short nominations that were non Disney or Pixar for this year and last were both KILLER! And it just gets me, to see them get so consistently snubbed. I thought Animated Short was somewhere that had some variety and some others winning besides just big studios… but seems not to be the case.

Looney Tunes Cartoons wasn't really advertised too much, so Nickelodeon's target audience probably didn't even know that it existed, and the other shows are bottom-of-the-barrel nonsense for the most part. Nick COULD have nominated shows that were actually received positively (Disney had a bunch of good shows running in 2021, HBO Max had Adventure Time and Infinity Train, and Netflix had shows like Kid Cosmic and Centaurworld, both which I haven't seen but have heard good things about), but it seems that Nick always seems to choose mediocre nominations for the sole purpose of ensuring SpongeBob winning every year.

Sometimes they still make something good (Sponge Out of Water, the stop-motion specials and some of Season 9 were pretty good), but I really don't think it deserves to win any more Kids Choice Awards. 19 wins are enough

It's hilarious to me that they act like, "we're here to celebrate the movies and the people who made them" and then proceed to go ALMOST 20 MINUTES before having a single award handed out but, then barely give the people who won more than a few seconds to talk. Like, yes we want to celebrate your accomplishment but, you are going to play second fiddle to a handful of barely relevant comedians making stupid jokes that only get worse every year. You're not the focus, they are, even though we wouldn't be here without your movies.
