The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on Tuesday morning announced the nominations for the first annual Children’s & Family Emmy Awards, which will be presented on Saturday, Dec. 10 (Creative Arts) and Sunday, Dec. 11 at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in Los Angeles.
Disney+’s The Mysterious Benedict Society and the movie Sneakerella lead the pack with, by my count, 11 nominations each, followed by Netflix’s Heartstopper and Sweet Tooth (which netted nine apiece).

The Children’s & Family Emmy Awards are the first standalone expansion of the Emmys competition since 1979, marking the culmination of the first full year of the realignment between NATAS and the Television Academy.
“Putting a spotlight on children’s and family programming after years of unparalleled growth in content quality and quantity in this space is an exciting moment for the television industry,” NATAS president Adam Sharp said in a statement. “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.
