GLAAD Media Award nominees include 'Moonlight,' 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,' 'Black Mirror'

Feb. 1 (UPI) -- GLAAD, formerly known as the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, announced nominees for its 28th Annual Media Awards. This includes 115 nominees in 21 English-language categories and 41 Spanish-language nominees in 11 categories.

The GLAAD Media Awards honor media for their fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of the LGBTQ community and the issues that affect their lives.

Nominees include Academy Award-nominee and Golden Globe-winner Moonlight, The CW's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Supergirl, ABC's The Real O'Neals and Black-ish, Netflix's The OA, Grace and Frankie, Black Mirror, and Easy, Amazon's Transparent and One Mississippi; HBO's The Trans List, NBC's The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Frank Ocean for his album Blonde.

This year, Outstanding Film - Wide Release counts just two nominees -- Moonlight and Star Trek Beyond -- the fewest since 2003.

"For nearly 30 years, the GLAAD Media Awards have set the bar for media representations of LGBTQ people," said GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. "At a time when progress is at a critical juncture, it is imperative that Hollywood tell more LGBTQ stories that reflect the community's rich diversity – and build understanding that brings all communities closer together. This year's nominees have created images and story lines that challenge misconceptions and broaden understanding, accelerating acceptance and equality for LGBTQ people across the globe."
