In a ceremony held on Thursday night in Los Angeles, GLAAD announced winners in several categories for the 35th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. The awards honor the fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues.
In addition to the GLAAD Media Award recipients listed below, Oprah Winfrey received the Vanguard Award (for her decades-long commitment to allyship), and Niecy Nash-Betts was honored with the Stephen F.
