The 47th annual Daytime Emmy Awards winners in children’s, lifestyle, and animation programming, presented by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), were announced recently in a live-stream ceremony.
Hosted by Loni Love, the virtual ceremony follows last week’s event which honored the best in Digital Dramas with Amazon’s The Bay, After Forever and Studio City walking away as big winners. Presenters included Izabella Alvarez (Nickelodeon’s The Loud House and The Casagrandes), actress and social media star Tabitha Brown (Actress and Vegan Foodie), Josh Dela Cruz (Nickelodeon’s Blue’s Clues & You!), Quintessa Swindell (Netflix’s Trinkets) and Andrew Zimmern (The Zimmern List).
The Walt Disney did well at the awards with Disney Channel earning five trophies and Disney Junior winning four. Elena of Avalor won three Daytime Emmys with its primetime finale special set for 23 August. Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure also received three, with Sesame Street’s 50th Anniversary Celebration earning a trio of Emmys.
