LOS ANGELES -- The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the winners of the 48th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Children’s & Animation categories this past Saturday night. The ceremony was live-streamed on the Emmy OTT platform powered by Vimeo with more than thirty categories celebrated on the telecast and on social media. The Daytime Emmy Awards Children’s & Animation ceremony was hosted by previous Daytime Emmy Award nominated actress Raven-Symoné. Other presenters who appeared were Millie Davis (Odd Squad, PBS), and Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants, Nickelodeon).
Hulu’s Animaniacs led all animated program winners with four awards, with Netflix’s Go! Go! Cory Carson taking home three. Netflix’s Hilda, Nickelodeon’s The Adventures of Paddington, Disney Channel’s Elena of Avalor, and Baobab Studios’ Baba Yaga each took home two.
The Daytime Emmy Awards recognize outstanding achievement in daytime television programming and are presented to programs broadcast between 2:00 AM and 6:00 PM, as well as all forms of children’s television programming and certain categories of streaming and syndicated content. This year’s field included more than 3,100 submissions featuring content that originally premiered in calendar-year 2020, judged by a pool of peer professionals from across the television industry.
All voting was tabulated by the accounting firm of Lutz & Carr, LLP.
