The annual awards honors media for fair and accurate representations of LGBTQ2S+ people. Streaming services nabbed a total of 63 nominees, with cable receiving 39 nominations, and broadcast networks receiving 17 nominations.

The films nominated include 鈥淓ternals鈥 (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures), 鈥淓verybody's Talking About Jamie鈥 (Amazon Studios), 鈥淭he Mitchells vs. the Machines鈥 (Netflix), 鈥渢ick, tick... BOOM!鈥 (Netflix) and 鈥淲est Side Story鈥 (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures).

Netflix had 17 nominees, Hulu received seven nominations, while ABC, MSNBC and Peacock all received four nominations. In the Spanish-language categories, Univision and Telemundo both received two nominations.

Of the 30 television shows nominated in three categories - outstanding comedy series, outstanding drama series and outstanding new TV series - 18 feature transgender or nonbinary characters, including 鈥淧ose,鈥 鈥9-1-1: Lone Star,鈥 鈥淕ood Trouble,鈥 鈥淕rey's Anatomy,鈥 鈥淭he L Word: Generation Q,鈥 鈥淪tar Trek: Discovery鈥 and 鈥淭he Sex Lives of College Girls.鈥

GLAAD noted that the representation came during a year when anti-transgender violence rose and lawmakers across the U.S. introduced a number of bills attempting to stop transgender youth from participating in sports and accessing health care.

Music artists who earned GLAAD nominations include Lil Nas X, Halsey, Arlo Parks, Japanese Breakfast, Kaytranada, Demi Lovato, Mykki Blanco, and BROCKHAMPTON. Among the special recognition award recipients was 鈥淛eopardy!鈥 champion Amy Schneider and 鈥淭he Laverne Cox Show.鈥
