The GLAAD Media Awards ceremonies, which fund GLAAD’s work to accelerate LGBTQ acceptance and visibility in media, will be held this year in Los Angeles at the Beverly Hilton on Thursday, March 14, 2024 and in New York City, at the Hilton Midtown, on Saturday, May 11, 2024.
GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis serves as Executive Producer of the 35th GLAAD Media Awards, alongside GLAAD’s Rich Ferraro and Anthony Allen Ramos. GLAAD’s Tony Morrison will serve as Supervising Producer and Jose Useche will serve as Producer. The ceremonies will be produced in partnership with STAMP Event Co.
In a statement GLAAD President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sarah Kate Ellis said:
“For 35 years, the GLAAD Media Awards has provided the global stage for LGBTQ creators, alongside industry talent and leaders to be celebrated and supported. At a time when the LGBTQ community is under attack by false narratives and misinformation, when less than half of American say they are familiar with transgender and nonbinary people, and when one in five Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ, this year’s nominees powerfully reflect the realities of LGBTQ existence today, in our communities and around the globe. Amid a summer of union strikes across Hollywood, the stakes have never been higher to maintain the progress of LGBTQ visibility and representation across all media, from film, television, music, journalism, publishing and more.”
Last year, GLAAD’s 34th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, streamed exclusively on Hulu and can be watched here. The program featured groundbreaking appearances by Christina Aguilera who received GLAAD’s Advocate for Change Award and was introduced by Club Q Survivor, Michael Anderson. Bad Bunny was honored with GLAAD’s Vanguard Award and was introduced by Ricky Martin; Jeremy Pope received GLAAD’s Stephen F. Kolzak Award and was introduced by Gabrielle Union.
The New York ceremony for the 34th Annual GLAAD Media Awards was hosted by producer, Critics Choice-nominated actor and GLAAD Award winner, Harvey Guillén (The Thundermans). The evening opened with a special performance by multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter and Tony Award-winning Broadway icon, Idina Menzel, with the global debut of her new hit, Move.
Congratulations and good luck to all the nominees in the 35th Annual GLAAD Media Awards!
