GLAAD today announced the nominees in 30 categories for its 33rd Annual Media Awards.
In a flip-flip of last year’s top leaders, the combined HBO/HBO Max scored the most nominations of any network with 19, followed by Netflix with 17. That’s a lot closer than last year, when Netflix ran away with 26 noms, while HBO was a distant second with nine.
Streaming services saw a total of 63 nominations, with cable receiving 39 and broadcast networks receiving 17. Hulu received seven nominations, while ABC, MSNBC and Peacock all saw four. In the Spanish-language categories, Univision and Telemundo both received two nominations.
The GLAAD Media Awards honor media for fair, accurate and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues.
During a year when anti-transgender violence rose and lawmakers across the U.S. introduced an unprecedented number of bills attempting to stop transgender youth from participating in sports and accessing gender-affirming healthcare, many of the nominations for the Media Awards this year are for transgender people and issues. Of the 30 television shows nominated across Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding New TV Series, 18 feature trans and/or nonbinary characters.
Each year, GLAAD presents non-competitive Special Recognition Awards to media projects that do not fit into one of the existing Media Awards categories. The eight media projects this year include: All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson [filmed reading + performance]; “Alok Vaid-Menon” 4D with Demi Lovato (Candence13/OBB Sound/SB Projects); CODED: The Hidden Love of J.C. Leyendecker (Paramount+); Jeopardy! Champion Amy Schneider; The Laverne Cox Show (Shondaland Audio/iHeartMedia); Life Out Loud with LZ
