The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences today announced the nominations for the 3rd Children’s & Family Emmys, honoring the year’s outstanding young audiences television content in a stand-alone competition. The winners will be revealed at a March 15 ceremony in Los Angeles.
Winners in the Juried Individual Achievement in Animation categories will be announced early next year, as will the Lifetime Achievement honoree and ceremony host and presenters.
“This year’s nominations are particularly meaningful as much of the work being honored was delayed due to last year’s strikes,” said Rachel Schwartz, Head of the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards. “It is a privilege to have been named head of a competition that is not only honoring exceptional talent but is also shaping the way children and their families interact with the world.”
