The LGBTQ community was championed and celebrated Thursday night as 15 of the 27 trophies for the 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards were handed out at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Greg Berlanti teen romance Love, Simon took the trophy for Outstanding Film while Tanya Sarachos groundbreaking Latinx series Vida was honored as Outstanding Comedy. Snaps were given to the Fab 5 as Netflixs Queer Eye won for Outstanding Reality Program.
The night was also blessed with the queen herself Beyonce and her king Jay-Z as they took the stage to accept the Vanguard Award. The ceremony also honored “Just Jack” himself Sean Hayes with the Stephen F. Kolzak Award.
Other winners of the evening included the animated series Steven Universe, Hannah Gadsbys socially poignant Netflix special Nanette, and the timely feature documentary TransMilitary. This year, GLAAD introduced the inaugural Outstanding Video Game Award which went to The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset.
“This years award recipients not only represent stories that are moving the needle today, but are a reflection of just how far LGBTQ images in the media have evolved over the last 30 years,” said GLAAD CEO and President Sarah Kate Ellis. “Award recipients like Queer Eye, Vida and Love, Simon represent a new generation of diverse LGBTQ creators, talent, and storytellers who are raising the bar at a critical time in our community and our country.”
The star-studded evening included appearances from Gwyneth Paltrow, Lena Waithe, Janet Mock, Adam Lambert, Adam Rippon, Meghan Trainor, Nico Santos, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Gigi Gorgeous. Lizzo and Adam Lambert also livened up the evening with performances. One of the most noticeable fashion accessories included the blue “&” pins for GLAADs Together movement – representing solidarity and GLAADs work on intersectional issues including immigration, racial justice, womens rights, and LGBTQ acceptance.
The GLAAD Media Awards honor media for fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues. They continue in New York City May 4 when the remaining award recipients will be announced.
