“Hacks” and “Eternals” picked up top honors at the 33rd annual GLAAD Media Awards, where the were named Outstanding New TV Series and Outstanding Film, respectively. The awards, hosted by the LGBTQ+ media advocacy organization, also honored Grammy winner Kacey Musgraves with the Vanguard Award and Golden Globe winner Michaela Jaé Rodriguez with the Stephen F. Kolzak Award.
“I want to thank GLAAD for elevating and celebrating the voices of trans and nonbinary people,” Rodriguez said upon accepting her honor. “This moment isn’t about me, it’s about each and every last one of us.”
“Saved by the Bell” garnered the award for Outstanding Comedy Series, while “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and “We’re Here” tied for Outstanding Reality Program.
The star-studded ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Saturday night and included appearances by Andrew Garfield, Troye Sivan, JoJo Siwa, Jasmin Savoy-Brown, Mira Sorvino, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and more. Hosted by Bob the Drag Queen, Eureka O’Hara and DJ “Shangela” Pierce, the awards also featured a performance by pop musician Jake Wesley Rogers.
Aside from honoring outstanding media from the year prior, the GLAAD Awards spotlighted urgent issues facing LGBTQ+ communities, including Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s sponsoring of anti-trans legislation. President and CEO Kate Ellis denounced said in her speech, “These bills are designed to erase us as a community, but GLAAD will not let that happen. We have never been more committed to our vision of a world where everyone can live the life that they love.”
The GLAAD awards also saw the surprise engagement of “Survivor” star Zeke Smith and “Superstore” actor Nico Santos, who first met at the awards ceremony in 2018.
As last year, Hulu partnered with the GLAAD awards to stream the ceremony on line. Viewers can watch the awards on the platform on April 16.
Select categories, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Children’s Programming, will be announced at GLAAD’s New York City ceremony, which will be held May 6.
