The nominations for the 22nd annual Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Media Awards are in and they include the Golden Globe-nominated film The Kids Are All Right, I Love You Phillip Morris, starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor, Howl, starring James Franco.
"This year's nominees represent some of the images and stories at the root of the growing acceptance of our community and support for our equality," said GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios. "They also have created a benchmark for inclusion of our community that other media outlets should look to."
Among the other nominees: the summer hit film Easy A, HBO's acclaimed drama True Blood, Fox's hit show Glee, ABC's hit comedy Modern Family, NBC's hit sitcom 30 Rock, Prodigal Sons, a documentary about a transgender woman and her family, season eight of Project Runway, The Oprah Winfrey Show for Ricky Martin's first televised interview, MSNBC's interview with Fort Worth City Council member Joel Burns, CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, Essence.com's "Bridal Bliss: Aisha and Danielle," the Scissor Sisters, Chely Wright, and Spanish-language nominees Levántate, Aquí y Ahora, Caso Cerrado, Casos de Familia, and openly gay music artists Christian Chávez and Fedro.
GLAAD announced 114 nominees in 23 English-language categories, and 33 Spanish-language nominees in 9 categories. In the English-language categories, cable networks earned 22 nominations, while broadcast networks garnered 11 nominations.
This year GLAAD introduced a new category to recognize independent blogs, in recognition of the growing role of online media in shaping today's culture. The first nominees in this category are The Bilerico Project, Blabbeando, Joe. My. God., Pam's House Blend, and Rod 2.0.
The 22nd Annual GLAAD Media Awards nominees were published, released or broadcast between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010. Nearly 1,000 media projects were considered by over 85 volunteers serving on seven nominating juries.
