For all of this year’s (non-Creative Arts) Daytime Emmy winners, here’s the entire list.
Comments
Most of the winners, I notice, are for Netflix or Amazon productions. Shows like “Trollhunters,” “Beat Bugs,” and “Dinotrux” all did well.
Nominees included shows from traditional animation-related TV channels (PBS, Nick, Cartoon Network, Disney). However, the only winners from said outlets were Disney Junior’s “Sofia the First” (a sound mixing category) and Disney XD’s “The 7D” (outstanding original song).
All of the above mentioned networks had multiple shows nominated, save Cartoon Network. The Time Warner-owned network only had one nominee: “The Tom and Jerry Show” (outstanding performer; Rick Zieff as Spike).
Like last year’s show, the Daytime Emmys weren’t televised, which again is ironic for a show celebrating the best of television. However, streaming was available on both Periscope and Facebook Live.
