The 33rd annual GLAAD Media Awards nominations are out, and here are a few takeaways from the selections within the television category.
Streaming services continue to garner award recognitions, with services such as Netflix, Hulu and Peacock drawing a total of 63 nominations for GLAAD Awards, which honor media for fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues. Netflix drew 17 nominations – second only to the combined HBO/HBO Max’s 19 nods. Hulu garnered seven nominations, and Peacock pulled in four nominations, according to the organization.
GLAAD added a new TV series category to recognize the increasing number of new shows portraying what the organization says are fair, accurate and multi-dimensional LGBTQ characters and storylines. Among the 10 series nominated in the category are Emmy-winning series Hacks and NAACP Image Awards-nominated series Harlem.
As anti-transgender violence continues to rise across the country, numerous television shows have prominently showcased transgendered people and issues within their main storylines. Of the 30 television shows nominated for best comedy, drama and new series, nearly 20 shows feature trans and/or nonbinary characters, including Pose, 9-1-1: Lone Star, Star Trek: Discovery and The Chi, according to the organization.
