Nominees for the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards were announced on Friday at the Sundance Film Festival by Transparent‘s Trace Lysette and Star Trek: Discovery‘s Wilson Cruz, where both actors’ shows were among those meriting nods.
Other TV nominees include fist-timers This Is Us, The Handmaid’s Tale, Legion and The Bold Type, the freshly cancelled One Mississippi, Sense8‘s final season and the Will & Grace revival. For the first time this year, GLAAD will honor LGBTQ-inclusive content in Kids & Family Programming, with Andi Mack and a Doc McStuffins episode that featured two moms among the contenders.
The awards — which honor media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community — will be handed out on April 12 in Los Angeles and May 5 in New York. The list of this year’s major TV nominees follows; a complete round-up can be found at GLAAD.org.
