LGBTQ media advocacy organization GLAAD announced the nominees of their GLAAD Media Awards at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival Friday, from the DIRECTV Lounge in Park City. The awards will be held April 12 in Los Angeles and May 5 in New York City.
“The GLAAD Media Award nominee announcement is one of the most exciting times of the year for the LGBTQ community and we are thrilled to be sharing the news live with audiences around the world,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, GLAAD President and CEO. “At a time when LGBTQ visibility is decreasing and LGBTQ harassment is on the rise, this year’s nominees include images and stories that foster understanding and combat misconceptions – something sorely needed in our current cultural and political climate.”
The announcements were made by Star Trek: Discovery and 13 Reasons Why actor Wilson Cruz and Transparent actress Trace Lysette.
