"Battle of the Sexes," "Call Me by Your Name," "Lady Bird," "Professor Marston and the Wonder Women" and "The Shape of Water" are among the films nominated at this year's 29th GLAAD Media Awards.
On the TV side, "Billions," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," "The Handmaid's Tale," "Modern Family," "Nashville," "Star," "Star Trek: Discovery," "This Is Us," "The Voice" and "Will & Grace" were just a few of the nominees that demonstrated fair, accurate and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues, which are at the heart of the GLAAD Media Awards.
"What people see in the media has a powerful impact on how they treat others and the GLAAD Media Awards raise the bar for media to tell LGBTQ stories that accelerate acceptance," GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement on Friday.
Rapper Jay-Z also received special recognition for his song and music video "Smile," which details the coming-out story of his mother, Gloria Carter.
The LGBTQ media advocacy organization selected 125 nominees in 21 English-language categories and 16 nominees in four Spanish-language categories when the nominees were announced Friday from the Sundance Film Festival. "The Daily Show With Trevor Noah," "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver," the New Yorker, Teen Vogue, HuffPost, CNN en Espanol and several others were among them.
GLAAD also will honor LGBTQ-inclusive content in children's and family programming for the first time this year. The inaugural round of nominees includes Disney Channel's "Andi Mack" and "Doc McStuffins," Amazon's "Danger & Eggs," Nickelodeon's "The Loud House" and Cartoon Network's "Steven Universe."
The GLAAD Media Awards ceremonies will be at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on April 12 and at the New York Hilton Midtown in New York on May 5.
