Can You Tell Me How to Get to Sesame Street? I've Got All These Emmys to Deliver!
Public television won 16 Daytime Emmys in last weekend's awards ceremonies conducted by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Sesame Street took home four, not including a special Lifetime Achievement Award for their 40 years of service. The latter was promptly eaten by Cookie Monster, who declared it to "taste even better than Latin Grammy." Kevin Clash ("Elmo") won Outstanding Performer in a Children's Series for the fifth time.
Public television's tally was second only to ABC's 17 awards, and doubled the number won by the other closest competitors, CBS and Nickelodeon. Children's series Between the Lions, WordWorld and From the Top at Carnegie Hall all won top honors, as did This Old House.
