The 28th annual GLAAD Media Awards nominees were announced Wednesday, and nominated films include Moonlight, Star Trek Beyond, and The Handmaiden. The nominees on television include Amazon's Transparent, Netflix's Grace and Frankie, and BBC America's Orphan Black. "For nearly 30 years, the GLAAD Media Awards have set the bar for media representations of LGBTQ people," said GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. "At a time when progress is at a critical juncture, it is imperative that Hollywood tell more LGBTQ stories that reflect the community’s rich diversity—and build understanding that brings all communities closer together. This year's nominees have created images and storylines that challenge misconceptions and broaden understanding, accelerating acceptance and equality for LGBTQ people across the globe." The winners will be announced at two separate ceremonies in Los Angeles and New York this spring.
