The 2nd Children's and Family Emmy Awards were presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), to honor the best in American children's and family-oriented television programming in 2022 and 2023, following on from the inaugural ceremony held a year prior.[1] The eligibility period ran from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023, mirroring that of the Primetime Emmy Awards.

The winners were announced during two ceremonies, one focused on creative and technical arts, and the other dedicated to performances and programming, on December 16 and 17, 2023 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles.[2][3][4] with the latter night being hosted by Christopher Jackson. Nominations were revealed on November 2, 2023, with Sesame Street leading with twelve nominations, followed by Sweet Tooth with eleven.

The second annual Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to voice actor Peter Cullen.[5]

Background[edit]

For the 2023 ceremony, the NATAS announced several changes for different categories and eligibility rules:[6]

  • Three new categories – Outstanding Public Service Initiative, Outstanding Puppeteer Performance and Outstanding Puppet Design/Styling, were introduced.
  • Two categories were removed:
    • Outstanding Guest Performer - these performers are now eligible to compete in the Supporting category.
    • Outstanding Special Effects Costumes, Makeup and Hairstyling - these "specialty looks" are now eligible to be featured as part of the reels for the Outstanding Costume Design/Styling and/or the Outstanding Hairstyling and Makeup categories.
  • The Outstanding Original Song has been split into two separate categories (Outstanding Original Song for a Preschool Program and Outstanding Original Song for a Children's and Young Teen Program).
  • The Outstanding Cinematography for a Live Action Single-Camera Program and Outstanding Cinematography for a Live Action Multiple-Camera Program categories will now only award the cinematographer and/or director of photography.
  • Outstanding Lighting Design for a Live Action Program has been renamed Outstanding Lighting, Camera and Technical Arts and will now honor series, specials and variety shows with technical production teams.
