Daytime Emmys Still in Limbo, as NATAS Announces December Dates for Children’s & Family Emmys, Other Ceremonies
variety.comMichael Schneider Variety Editor at Large The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is planning a mega Emmy weekend in December — although it remains to be seen whether the Daytime Emmys will be a part of the festivities.
The org has firmed up dates for the Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmys, the 2nd Annual Children’s & Family Emmy Awards and Trustees’ Gala and the Children’s & Family Creative Arts Emmys, all of which will take place the weekend of December 16 and 17.
