Maya and the Three, Sneakerella, and The Quest won big at the Children’s & Family Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Saturday, December 10, each taking home multiple trophies.
Sunday’s award show — hosted by JoJo Siwa and livestreamed from the at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles — marked the first of two nights of awards for the inaugural Children’s & Family Emmys.
“Launching in 2022, tonight’s ceremony marks the first standalone expansion of the Emmy Award competition since 1979, and establishes a dedicated ceremony separate from the Daytime Emmy Awards, which had been home to children’s and family programming categories,” Adam Sharp, president and CEO of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), said in a statement. “Children’s & Family content represents the fastest-growing genre that NATAS awards, and this weekend’s ceremonies herald an exciting milestone in our Emmy Award history.”
The festivities on Sunday featured a performance by JoJo and sister Jessalynn as the pop duo XOMG POP, appearances by Raven-Symoné and Danielle Fishel, and a tribute to voice actor Gilbert Gottfried of Cyberchase fame.
And tonight, Sunday, December 11, NATAS will present the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards, with Jack McBrayer hosting and Laurence Fishburne on hand to present a Lifetime Achievement Award to LeVar Burton. That ceremony will livestream at watch.theemmys.tv starting at 8/7c.
