2nd Annual Children’s and Family Emmy nominations list: ‘Sesame Street,’ ‘Mysterious Benedict Society’ lead
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The 2nd Annual Children’s and Family Emmy Awards announced their nominations on November 2, with “Sesame Street” and “The Mysterious Benedict Society” among the top contenders. These awards used to be handed out as part of the Daytime Emmys, but they were shifted to their own separate ceremony as part of an overall restructuring of all Emmy events. Scroll down for the complete list of nominees in all categories.
Rachel Schwartz, Director of the Daytime and Children’s and Family Emmy Awards, said in a statement, “We are very proud of the growth experienced in year two of the Children’s and Family Emmys, especially in the development and cultivation of the new categories dedicated to puppetry.”

Brent Stanton, Head of the Daytime and Children’s and Family Emmy Awards, added, “Programming created for children’s and family viewing has a long history of leading the way in innovation and storytelling. In this year specifically, a year so impacted by artists fighting for fair recognition of their true value, it is more important than ever to honor the excellence of their talents and achievements.”
How does the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike affect these awards, if at all? The academy explains, “The majority of programs recognized in the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards competition were produced under SAG-AFTRA agreements not subject to the current strike. However, some nominated programs remain struck … SAG-AFTRA members are strongly advised to observe the strike rules at all times. NATAS is announcing the nominations today in hopes a fair deal will be reached prior to the awards ceremonies.”
