GLAAD Media Awards type TV Show

If this awards season is any indication, 2018 was a great year for LGBTQ visibility on screen. Now, GLAAD is ready to recognize those strides towards inclusivity among media.

On Friday, Pose‘s MJ Rodriguez and Crazy Rich Asians‘ Nico Santos got together at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, to announce the nominees for the 30th annual GLAAD Media Awards.

Pose, the history-making FX series, is among the picks for Outstanding Drama Series, while Crazy Rich Asians counts itself among the outstanding wide-release film category along with Love, Simon, Blockers, Deadpool 2, and The Girl in the Spider’s Web.

As for Entertainment Weekly, well, what can we say. We’re nominees, too, for overall magazine coverage. NBD.

One notable exclusion from the nominees is Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. Following wins for Best Actor in a Drama and Best Motion Picture – Drama at the Golden Globes, additional allegations of sexual misconduct came out against credited director Bryan Singer. In response, GLAAD dropped the film from consideration.

As part of the 151 nominees in 27 categories announced, GLAAD included for the first time a category specifically for video games, which “can empower LGBTQ players with the agency to explore and express themselves safely within a virtual environment,” the organization said in an earlier statement.

“The images and stories recognized by the GLAAD Media Awards over the past 30 years raised the bar for LGBTQ inclusion in the media industry and changed the hearts and minds of countless audience members around the world,” GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said. “This year’s nominees are changing the game by showcasing diverse races, genders, religions, ages, geographies, and genres in ways that challenge misconceptions and inspire LGBTQ acceptance. The 30th anniversary of the GLAAD Media Awards will honor these groundbreaking new LGBTQ stories while remembering the astounding positive cultural change that LGBTQ media representations have achieved.”
