The 3rd Annual Children’s & Family Emmy Awards commenced at Television City in Los Angeles, with accomplished voiceover artist Eric Bauza, renowned for his roles as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, and Marvin the Martian, serving as the host. This year, Disney+’s adaptation of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” emerged as the frontrunner in nominations, garnering 16 accolades. The show triumphed in the category for Best Young Teen Series, surpassing noteworthy contenders such as Disney+’s “Goosebumps,” Netflix’s “Heartstopper,” Netflix’s “One Piece,” and Roku Channel’s “The Spiderwick Chronicles.”

Christian Slater received the award for Lead Performer in a Preschool, Children’s, or Young Teen Program for his portrayal of Mulgarath in “The Spiderwick Chronicles.” Other significant winners included Nickelodeon’s “Blue’s Clues & You” for Best Preschool Program and Apple TV+’s “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock” as the Best Children’s or Family Viewing Series. Meryl Streep was honored in the Children’s Personality category for her engaging work on “Storyline Online.”

Alongside “Percy Jackson,” notable nominees included HBO/Max’s “Sesame Street” and “Spiderwick Chronicles,” both with 13 nominations, and Netflix’s “StoryBots: Answer Time” and Apple TV+’s “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock,” each securing 10.

The New York-based National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences governs the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards, which were established in 2022. This year’s event shifted from its previous December schedule to March for its third iteration. The ceremony began with a focus on major series awards in the afternoon and was set to transition into the evening with the Creative Arts Children’s and Family Emmys. The Lifetime Achievement Award was poised to be presented by Dave Goetz, a puppeteer from “The Muppets,” honoring the esteemed Emmy-winning performer Fran Brill.
