15 of the 33 categories were announced at the Los Angeles ceremony Thursday night.
The 34 annual GLAAD Media Awards took place in Los Angeles on Thursday night, announcing half of the winners for the award show that celebrates the best in queer media.
The GLAAD Awards always pick some of the best queer shows and movies, and this year is no different. With a lot of major queer-themed films, including Oscar winners like The Whale and Everything, Everywhere All At Once, Billy Eichner’s rom-com Bros took home the award for Outstanding Film - Wide Release.

The other films awarded were Framing Agnes, which won Outstanding Documentary, and The Inspection, starring Jeremy Pope, which won Outstanding Film - Limited Release.
It was also an outstanding year for television, with shows like Our Flag Means Death, Hacks, Chucky, and Heartstopper, but ultimately, it was What We Do In The Shadows and 9-1-1: Lone Star that took home Outstanding Comedy and Drama series. The White Lotus won the award for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and A League of Their Own won Outstanding New TV Series.
