The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has announced the nominations for the first annual Children’s & Family Emmy Awards, with Disney picking up 78 nominations across 50 categories, with Netflix picking up 85 nominations.

Many Disney+ Originals have been nominated, including “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”, “The Mysterious Benedict Society”, “Sneakerella”, “Doogie Kamealoha MD” and many more.

The event will take place on Saturday, December 10th (Creative Arts) and Sunday, December 11 at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles. The Children’s & Family awards are the first standalone expansion of the Emmy Award competition since 1979, and mark the successful culmination of the first full year of the realignment between NATAS and the Television Academy.

Children’s & Family content represents the fastest-growing genre that NATAS awards, with a 23% increase in related programming the past two years. With nearly 3,000 submissions, the competition is now the largest that NATAS oversees.

Adam Sharp, President and CEO, NATAS said in a statement:

“Putting a spotlight on children’s & family programming after years of unparalleled growth in content quality and quantity in this space is an exciting moment for the television industry. These programs entertain, inform and educate family members of all ages, and NATAS is proud to mark this milestone event and give these creators the stage they deserve.”
