New York, New York – Wednesday, January 22, 2025 – GLAAD, the world’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization, today announced the nominees of the 36th GLAAD Media Awards. In a time of unprecedented challenges for LGBTQ people, LGBTQ stories are the antidote to anti-LGBTQ violence, legislation and disinformation.
GLAAD’s mission to accelerate acceptance and understanding for LGBTQ people through visibility in media stands stronger than ever, with the 36th GLAAD Media Awards spotlighting 303 culture-changing nominees across 33 categories, honoring outstanding fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues in film, television, gaming, publishing, stage productions, music, podcasting, journalism, and more.
Since 1990, the GLAAD Media Awards have grown to be the most visible annual LGBTQ awards show in the world, sending powerful messages of acceptance to audiences globally. Nominees for the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards reflect work published, released, or broadcast between January 1 and December 31, 2024.
GLAAD routinely reviews the accuracy and impact of GLAAD Media Awards categories to best reflect the ever-evolving media landscape, including the ways in which media is consumed by audiences and consumers alike. As such, and in recognition of the profusion of news sources in the overall media landscape, this year, GLAAD celebrates the category of Outstanding Blog being updated to Outstanding Independent Journalism. This expanded category will recognize creators and independent news organizations that drive journalism and commentary for and about LGBTQ people and issues.
A tip sheet with a breakdown of nominations by media and trends among the nominees is available HERE and at: www.glaad.org/releases.
Statement by GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis:
“The GLAAD Media Awards were created nearly four decades ago to champion LGBTQ stories amid a deeply hostile and unsafe time for our community. Today, this mission holds true and ever-more important as attacks against LGBTQ people are not only growing, but finding new avenues. Whether it’s rampant misinformation or defamation of transgender people, LGBTQ youth, or the shocking corporate rollback of policies and programs that keep LGBTQ people seen and safe in a workforce, what will always prevail is our truth and talent. This year’s nominees for the 36th GLAAD Media Awards represent the best of our vibrant community, spanning across all media, genres and mediums, and send a loud and global message to industry leaders that our stories are not only popular and entertaining, but necessary and culture-changing.”
ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT THE 36th GLAAD MEDIA AWARDS
The GLAAD Media Awards ceremony, which powers GLAAD’s work to accelerate LGBTQ acceptance and visibility in media all year round, will be held this year in Los Angeles.
GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis serves as Executive Producer of the 36th GLAAD Media Awards, alongside GLAAD’s Rich Ferraro and Anthony Allen Ramos.

Los Angeles – Multiple Primetime Emmy- and Writers Guild Award-winning film and television writer, director, and producer Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) has been named the recipient of the WGAW Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for Television Writing Achievement. The award is presented to a Guild member who has “advanced the literature of television and made outstanding contributions to the profession of the television writer.” Gilligan will be honored at the WGAW’s 2025 Writers Guild Awards ceremony on Saturday, February 15 at the Beverly Hilton.
The hopes for the local fans here in Los Angeles were dashed this weekend. They’ll have to settle for just the Dodgers and the Galaxy hoisting championship trophies for the time being as the Rams fell in a snow-covered matchup with the mighty Eagles. Jalen Hurts, who has led the Eagles to turn things around after last year’s disastrous season, completed 15 of 20 passes for 128 yards, and he rushed it himself 7 times for 70 yards and a touchdown. On the other side, Matthew Stafford completed only 26 of 44 passes for 324 yards and 2 touchdowns. In the end, the fumbles doomed the Rams, as well as another monster game from Saquon Barkley, who rushed for 205 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Eagles now look to the NFC Championship, where they’ll have to go toe-to-toe once again with the Commanders led by Rookie of the Year favorite Jayden Daniels.
The Chiefs have to be the luckiest team in the NFL, and I don’t mean that in a biased or good way. In a game where the Texans had more yards, more first downs, and more time of possession…the Chiefs still won. CJ Stroud, last year’s Rookie of the Year, actually outdueled Patrick Mahomes throwing for 245 compared to only 177 from Mahomes (although Mahomes had a touchdown pass while Stroud had none). There is no other explanation other than the Chiefs are just too lucky, but can that luck hold up when the Bills come rolling into town.
HOLY MOLE HOLES! In the biggest upset so far of these playoffs, the Commanders, led by Rookie of the Year favorite Jayden Daniels, took down the heavy favorite Lions to set up a rematch against the Eagles. Daniels was nearly perfect as he completed 22 of 31 passes for 299 yards and 2 touchdowns while also rushing for 51 yards. As for the Lions, this was a game Jared Goff would like to forget. Though Goff threw for more yards than Daniels with 313, he completed only 23 of his 40 passes for a touchdown and 3 interceptions. This will be a long offseason for the Lions while the Commanders prepare to face the Eagles for the third time this season.
This was the most entertaining game of the weekend, and it may also decide the Super Bowl. In the end of this frozen game, a dropped pass by Ravens tight end Mark Andrews decided the game, and the Bills hung on to force a rematch with the Chiefs. Josh Allen didn’t have the best of games, completing 16 of 22 passes for 127 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. On the other side, Lamar Jackson tried his best for the Ravens completing 18 of 25 passes for 254 yards, 2 touchdowns, and an interception. The Bills will now try to exercise some of their playoff demons as they once again go toe-to-toe with the defending champs.
