“Glee” & Lady Gaga: GLAAD Award Nominees

Awards show season is off to a killer start, and the GLAAD Media Awards have just announced their nominees ahead of the three ceremonies scheduled later this year.

And of course, Lady Gaga is continuing her legacy with the GLAAD organization, as she’ll compete for the Outstanding Music Artist trophy.

Meanwhile, “Glee” is up for the Outstanding Comedy Series award, along with “Modern Family,” “Happy Endings,” “The Big C” and “Exes and Ohs.”

“The Glee Project” has been nominated for Outstanding Reality Program, as has “Dancing with the Stars,” “Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys,” “The Real L Word,” and “The Voice.”

GLAAD President Mike Thompson told press, "As media continue to tell new stories about LGBT people and families, a majority of Americans now support full equality of LGBT Americans. This year's nominees enlighten and entertain, while spotlighting the diversity of our community. Audiences expect to see their own worlds reflected in media, and today more than ever, those include the lives of LGBT people. Viewers know that LGBT characters and stories are simply natural extensions of, and glimpses into, their own experiences from across America."
