Last week’s Costume Designers Guild nomination for designer Gersha Phillips was only the first of several industry awards naming Star Trek: Discovery as a contender, with four more organizations calling out the new show for inclusion for upcoming awards this week.

Discovery actor Wilson Cruz (along with Transparent co-star Trace Lysette) announced the 29th annual GLAAD Media Awards yesterday, which honor media for their fair and inclusive representations of the LGBTQ community.

One of the television shows nominated for Outstanding Drama Series by the organization is Star Trek: Discovery, which features Dr. Hugh Culber (Cruz) and Lt. Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp) as the first regular gay characters in the franchise’s long-running history.

Star Trek: Discovery actor Jason Isaacs (Gabriel Lorca) was named as one of the Best Actors in a TV Series by Empire Magazine in their annual awards lineup.

The Empire Awards reflect all genres and the tastes of the cinema-going and television-watching public, and you can vote for Isaacs to win, if so desired, at Empire’s site.

CBS Television Studios publicist Kristen Hall, who oversees all media relations and PR work for Star Trek: Discovery, was nominated this week for the Maxwell Weinberg Publicist Showmanship Television Award by the International Cinematographers Guild.

Kristen Hall aka @KristenJane is the unsung hero of @startrekcbs. Without her, the fans would know literally nothing about the show. She handles our interviews, takes care of us, and kills herself every day for #StarTrekDiscovery. This nom is so deserved. #pubilcistappreciation https://t.co/GJY1qh6ZIC — Aaron Harberts (@AaronHarberts) January 19, 2018

Discovery showrunner Aaron Harberts sung Hall’s praises on Twitter today (above).
