Kids Choice Awards Ratings (1994-present)

Below are the Nielsen ratings for every televised Kids Choice Awards telecast beginning with 1994. HH ratings and viewership are included for every show, but 18-49 data isn't available until 2008. Ratings peaked back in 2009 when the show delivered a 1.5 P18-49 rating and 7.68 million viewers, but has fallen in recent years, pulling just a 0.18 rating & 593,000 viewers in 2022.

Academy Awards/Oscars Nielsen Ratings History (1953-present)

Below are the Nielsen ratings for every telecast of the Academy Awards. The ceremony was first aired on TV in 1953 after years of either being broadcast on the radio (1930-32, 1939-52) or not broadcast at all (1929, 1934-38). Household (HH) ratings are available for every telecast except for the 1961 show which aired during a Nielsen black week, 18-49 ratings are first available in 1992, and total viewership in 1974 (number of households is provided for 1953-73). Be aware that Nielsen did not introduce people-meters until 1987, so all viewership figures prior to that point are merely estimates Nielsen made at a later date. 

Note: Only one source ever reported the numbers for the 1966 awards show: a Variety article from June 1966. That show also aired during a Nielsen black week, but ABC apparently made a special request to have the telecast nationally rated, so I believe this is the reason that such a massive 56.0 rating never appears in Nielsen's top 50 highest-rated list. This was also the first Oscars telecast to air in color so that could potentially be a reason why it was so highly rated. But also, the number could just be completely wrong since it is so much higher than anything else. Take that one with a grain of salt.

Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards Ratings (1995-present)

Below are the Nielsen ratings for every SAG Awards broadcast beginning with the first one back in 1995. The awards show aired on NBC for its first 3 years where it was easily managing over 10 million viewers, but then moved to TNT beginning in 1998 where it has aired ever since. Beginning in 2006 the show was simulcast between TNT and TBS where it was regularly averaging between 5 and 6 million viewers cumulatively. The numbers started declining beginning around 2016 where for the next several years it was pulling between 2 and 3 million viewers. It hit a viewership low in 2021, logging just 957,000 viewers, but rebounded in 2022 up to 1.84 million. Note: no ratings info is known for the 1998 show, and the only ratings info available for the 1999 show was that it pulled a 2.7 cable rating which roughly translates to a 2.0-2.1 U.S. HH rating.
