Nickelodeon's hit animated series SpongeBob SquarePants was named "Outstanding Children’s Animated Series" at the 2018 Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which honors the best daytime television programming crafts of the past year.
Tom Kenny picked up his first Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for his voice acting work bringing SpongeBob SquarePants to life on Nickelodeon's hit animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants!
And Nickelodeon's "Nick Jr: Girls in Charge: Girl Power Campaign" picked up the award for "Outstanding Daytime Promotional Announcement
Brand Image Campaign – Network or Program"!
Update (4/30): This year, the Emmy organizers presented an honor to SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg “for his contribution and impact made in the animation field and within the broadcast industry.” Hillenburg, 56, who was diagnosed last year with the neurodegenerative disease ALS, said that, despite his diagnosis, he will continue to work on SpongeBob SquarePants “for as long as I am able.” Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob, presented the award to Hillenburg, who later came on stage to accept it.
