The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) today announced the nominations for the first annual Children's & Family Emmy Awards, which will be presented on Saturday, December 10 (Creative Arts) and Sunday, December 11 at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in Los Angeles. The Children's & Family awards are the first standalone expansion of the Emmy Award competition since 1979, and mark the successful culmination of the first full year of the realignment between NATAS and the Television Academy.

"Putting a spotlight on children's & family programming after years of unparalleled growth in content quality and quantity in this space is an exciting moment for the television industry," said Adam Sharp, President and CEO, NATAS.
