CBS announced today the full list of nominations and hosts for the 26th Annual FAMILY FILM AND TV AWARDS. See nominations below. Akbar Gbajabiamila and Amanda Kloots (THE TALK hosts) will host the awards show airing Saturday, Jan. 27 (8:00 PM-9:00 PM, ET/PT), exclusively on the CBS Television Network and available for live and on-demand streaming via Paramount+ (live and on-demand for SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers starting Jan. 28).

The FAMILY FILM AND TV AWARDS - originally produced by iconic television and radio personality Dick Clark and initially broadcast on CBS in 1996 - pioneered the recognition and significance of family entertainment. The awards show returns to CBS to celebrate excellence in family-oriented film and television. A panel of industry experts, celebrities and Popstar! magazine readers will select the winners from 11 categories that will be announced during the broadcast.

"Recognizing and celebrating content that holds a universal appeal and is suitable for audiences of all ages has always been a core principle of our role as stewards of this esteemed award show. Emulating the celebrated legacy of Dick Clark presents a formidable challenge, and our commitment lies in restoring the event to its original essence. It is a distinct honor to bestow recognition upon those productions that exhibit unwavering dedication in delivering entertainment that resonates with viewers of every generation," says executive producer David McKenzie of Associated Television International.

In a spirit of generosity, this year's FAMILY FILM AND TV AWARDS will support the U.S. Marines Toys for Tots program, a year-round initiative aiding families in need across the United States. The broadcast will include a special segment honoring the Marines and a presentation to Lieutenant General James B. Laster, USMC (Retired), CEO of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, for his ongoing efforts to assist families in challenging circumstances.

FAMILY FILM AND TV AWARDS is produced by Associated Television International. David McKenzie serves as executive producer.
