GLAAD has released the nominees for its annual Media Awards, which are given to the movies, TV, music, and journalism with “fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community and the issues that affect their lives.” The men of Moonlight are up against an unexpected competitor for GLAAD’s Outstanding Film–Wide Release honor: Star Trek Beyond. Transparent, The OA, and Supergirl are among the TV nominations.
