On the heels of a big night at last week’s Kidscreen Awards ceremony, the Mouse House led the pack once again at last night’s Children’s & Family Emmys in New York.
Disney collected a total of 22 awards across all of its brands at the fourth edition of the awards ceremony that took place at Jazz in Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall.
From the Disney+ stable, musical spinoff movie Descendants: The Rise of Red (Disney Branded TV) and sporty toon Win or Lose (Pixar) tied for the most wins, with five for each title. And coming in a close second with four trophies was teen sci-fi miniseries Star Wars: Skeleton Crew (Lucasfilm).
On the preschool side of things, Nickelodeon’s The Tiny Chef Show proved it’s still a fan-favorite—despite being canceled last year—by winning in three categories, including Outstanding Preschool Animated Series. Sesame Street came out on top in the live-action category (Outstanding Preschool, Children’s or Family Viewing Series) and also scored a short-form win for the viral YouTube video “Andrew Garfield and Elmo Explain Grief”.
Netflix’s fantasy drama series Sweet Tooth was another solid performer, taking home four Emmys. And coming-of-age romance series Heartstopper and the animated superhero pic Ultraman: Rising also racked up multiple wins for the streaming giant.
Among the notable individual wins of the night, Joe Locke was honored for his performance in Heartstopper, while online series Tab Time‘s host Tabitha Brown won Best Children’s Personality. John Lithgow and Ana Gasteyer were recognized for their respective voice performances in Spellbound (Netflix) and RoboGobo (Disney Jr.), and science educator Bill Nye took home a previously announced Lifetime Achievement Award.
