The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) announced the winners of the 48th Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards Children’s & Animation categories on Saturday night, live streaming the ceremony over the Emmy OTT platform powered by Vimeo and celebrating more than 30 categories. The Children’s & Animation ceremony was hosted by singer, songwriter, director and Daytime Emmy Award-nominated actress Raven-Symoné. Other presenters who appeared were Millie Davis (Odd Squad, PBS), and Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants, Nickelodeon).
Overall, craft and individual achievement awards were bestowed across some of the year’s animated favorites.

The non-animated children’s winner was The Power of We: A Sesame Street Special (HBO Max), which also took home a writing team award.
