2019 GLAAD Media Awards

Arts, TV & Film

This week on Out Takes, we celebrated the 30th GLAAD Media Awards, which recognize and honor media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the LGBTIQ communities and the issues affecting their lives. In particular, we looked at the suite of films nominated for their nuanced portrayals of LGBTIQ life.

Our guest was Megan Townsend, the Director of Entertainment Research and Analysis at GLAAD/ We spoke with Townsend about the importance of the Awards and some of the other fantastic work that GLAAD does.

We also revisited our conversations with the directors of 1985, Disobedience, The Miseducation of Cameron Post and Boy Erased, which all recieved nominations at this year’s Awards: Yen Tan, Sebastian Lelio, Desiree Akhavan and Joel Edgerton.

Pictured: Beyonce & Jay Z, joint recepients of the Vanguard Award at the 2019 GLAAD Media Awards.
