The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) today announced the inaugural nominations for the new Children’s & Family Emmy® Awards. The awards mark the first standalone expansion of the Emmy Award competition since the Sports Emmy Awards and the News & Documentary Emmy Awards were launched in 1979 and establishes a dedicated ceremony separate from the Daytime Emmy Awards, which previously held the children’s and family programming categories.
Disney+’s The Mysterious Benedict Society and Sneakerella led nominations with 11 each followed by HBO Max’s Sesame Street and Netflix’s Heartstopper.
The awards will be announced over two nights in December: Creative Arts on December 10 and the remaining categories on December 11.
