The 41st Daytime Entertainment Creative Arts Emmy Awards were held last Friday in Los Angeles. The big winners in the animation categories were the PBS series Peg + Cat and the Nick series Peter Rabbit, which each picked up three awards.

Multiple animated series won two awards apiece: Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Transformers Prime Beast Hunters, and Bubble Guppies.
