The first-ever Children’s & Family Emmy Awards event took place on Saturday night at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, which saw Disney take home multiple awards, including for many Disney+ Originals such as “Sneakerella”, “The Quest”, and “The Mysterious Benedict Society”.  Other winners from the first night from Disney include “The Muppet Babies”, “Better Nate than Ever”, “Ciao Albert”  and “The Muppets Haunted Mansion”.

The first night of this event was hosted by Jojo Siwa, which covers the creative arts and technical awards, while the second night, which takes place on Sunday, will be presented by Jack McBrayer and will be for the more general awards.

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 over the past two years. With more than 3,000 submissions, the competition is now the largest that NATAS oversees.
