Grey’s Anatomy and Modern Family will each face new competitors when they attempt to defend their respective titles as Best Drama and Best Comedy Series at the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards.
Smash, The L.A. Complex, Go On and The New Normal were among the first-time nominees when the nation’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender media advocacy and anti-defamation organization announced its list of nods — which honor fair and inclusive representations of the LGBT community — Wednesday morning.
“Images and stories from the LGBT community continue to push support for equality to historic levels,” said GLAAD President Herndon Graddick, in a release. “This year’s nominees enlighten and entertain, but also reflect a new American landscape where a growing majority accept and value their LGBT family, colleagues and friends. Now more than ever, viewers not only accept gay and transgender characters and plot lines, they expect them — just as they both accept and expect LGBT people to be a valuable part of their everyday lives.”
The full list of English-language TV nominees is below. In those races, cable networks earned 21 nods, while broadcast networks garnered 17. NBC led all networks with six nominations, followed by four for ABC, and three apiece for CBS, Fox and MSNBC. American Idol alum Adam Lambert also scored a spot in the Outstanding Music Artist category.
