Non solo Oscar, ma anche GLAAD.
La stagione dei premi è ufficialmente partita, con i 24esimi GLAAD Media Awards che hanno annunciato le proprie candidature. Come ‘premiare’ un anno di media a tinte gay? Tv, cinema, fumetti, riviste, notiziari, blog, musica, teatro, quotidiani. Tutto viene preso in esame dai GLAAD, in base al contributo che sono riusciti a dare alla comunità glbtq d’America.
Tra i candidati televisivi spiccano The New Normal, Happy Endings, Smash, True Blood e Glee, mentre per la musica si fanno notare Adam Lambert, Gossip, Frank Ocean e gli Scissor Sisters, con il cinema che guarda con interesse a Noi siamo Infinito, Paranorman, The Marigold Hotel e Cloud Atlas.
Tre le sedi che vedranno i GLAAD Media Awards celebrarsi: 16 marzo a New York, 20 aprile a Los Angeles, e 11 maggio a San Francisco. Dopo il saltino, ovviamente, TUTTI i candidati,
