Children’s and Family Emmy Awards 2022: winners

The first-ever Children’s & Family Emmys have been held across two events in the US, with Heartstopper taking out 4 awards including Outstanding Young Teen Series plus wins for Kit Connor, Olivia Colman and writer Alice Oseman.

Aussie entry First Day was defeated by Heartstopper in its category – I have no idea why Bluey was not nominated.
