The show about our favorite street was a big winner at this year's Daytime Emmy awards, though sadly the other Henson nominated shows didn't fair as well.
Sesame won for:
Outstanding Special Class – Short Format Daytime ProgramInterestingly, "A Song About Songs" beat out "Try A Little Kindness" to win Outstanding Original Song. So, I guess the message is, songs about songs are winners and songs about kindness are losers! What a great message for kids...
Sesame Street: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with Julia & Elmo
Outstanding Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design
Outstanding Technical Team
Outstanding Multiple Camera Editing
Outstanding Sound Editing – Live Action
You can watch the video for the emmy winning song below:
Sesame Street also won Outstanding Writing in a Children's, Preschool Children's, Family Viewing and the big prize Outstanding Preschool Children's Series both of which Julie's Greenroom was also nominated for.
Though Sesame Street did win a few awards, they didn't win everything they were nominated for.
They lost Outstanding Interactive Media Enhancement to a Daytime Program or Series to Fruit Ninja Frenzy Force - (Editors Note: WTF is that??)
Both Sesame Street and Julie's Greenroom both lost Outstanding Directing in a Children's, Preschool Children's or Family Viewing Program to Free Rein, whatever that is.
Sesame Street also lost Outstanding Sound Mixing to Disney's Broadway Hits at Royal Albert Hall, Outstanding Lighting Direction to The Talk, and Outstanding Hairstyling to Live with Kelly and Ryan. Which was probably all due all Ryan Seacrest's never moving coif.
And finally, John Tartaglia sadly lost Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for his roles as as Splash & Mrs. Tidy on Splash and Bubbles to Tom Kenny's titular SpongeBob SquarePants, which I was surprised to learn is still making new episodes.
While the ceremony wasn't on TV, it was broadcast live via Facebook. The In Memoriam section paid tribute to Sesame Street animator Bud Luckey, and recording engineer Jim Czak, as well as puppeteer Chuck McCann.

As you can see, a whooping 12 thousand people watched the feed. NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, PBS, and every other other national broadcast or local channel should be ashamed of themselves for not airing it.
