Maya and the Three, Sneakerella and Netflix were among the big winners at The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ inaugural Children’s & Family Emmy Awards on Saturday.

Presented as the first half of a two-night event held at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in Los Angeles, the Dec. 10 ceremony celebrated winners in more than 30 creative arts categories, from directing, writing and editing to stunt work, choreography and song spanning live action, animation, interactive, promotional, single camera and multicamera media.

Netflix’s Maya and the Three and Disney+’s Sneakerella walked away with the most honors, both taking home three awards. Another Disney+ title, The Quest, came in second with two wins. Netflix ultimately led wins by distribution, nabbing 13 total followed by Disney+ with 10 and Apple TV+ with two.

During the show, the late Gilbert Gottfried was remembered during the in-memoriam for Cyberchase. YouTuber, singer and dancer JoJo Siwa, who served as the evening’s host, also took to the stage along with her new all-girl pop group, XOMG POP!, to perform.

Presenters for the evening included actor-producer Laurence Fishburne, actress and Proud Family: Louder and Prouder voice star Kyla Pratt, Heartstopper stars Joe Locke and William Gao, The Baby-Sitters Club actresses Malia Baker and Sophie Grace, Molly of Denali voice performer Sovereign Bill, Madagascar: A Little Wild sign-over artist Shaylee Mansfield and show consultant Jevon Whetter, Donkey Hodie puppets Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda, and Martin P. Robinson, Jim Henson Company puppeteer.

The inaugural Children’s & Family Emmys reflect a total of 3,000 submissions, the most competitive NATAS-administered Emmys ever, and 270 nominations and individual achievement honorees. More than 1,500 people are set to be in attendance across both ceremonies — marking the most-attended NATAS event of 2022. The second half of the Children’s & Family Emmys will take place on Sunday, Dec. 11.

This weekend marks the first stand-alone expansion of the Emmys since 1979, and one of the first ceremonies since NATAS and the Television Academy announced in December their plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards, which were once organized by program airtime and are now organized by content genre.
