More GLAAD Winners...

 Last night in Los Angeles more 2010 GLAAD Media Awards were handed out-- five categories plus special awards. If this sounds like it was a smaller awards ceremony than previous years you'd be right. Most of the awards were handed out last month in NYC and a few more will be handed out next month in SF. We're not exactly sure why the awards weren't more evenly spread between the host cities as before or why Miami wasn't among them (it had hosted a portion of the awards four years in a row up till this year). As far as we can tell the number of awards wasn't scaled back overall and we doubt it was a matter of economics--otherwise why have awards in multiple cities in the first place?

 The bright side of having fewer awards in the LA event is that each of these winners not only didn't have to compete for media attention among a sea of winners--they actually get more. Here then are the recipients:

Outstanding Film – Wide Release: A Single Man (The Weinstein Company)
Outstanding Comedy Series: Glee (Fox)
Outstanding Reality Program: RuPaul’s Drag Race (Logo/VH1)
Outstanding Spanish-Language TV Journalism Segment:
  "Polémicas Adopciones" Noticiero Telemundo (Telemundo)
Outstanding Los Angeles Theater: Lydia by Octavio Solis
Stephen F. Kolzak Award: Wanda Sykes 
Vanguard Award: Drew Barrymore

  One of the highlights of this year's presentation was the acceptance speech by Glee creator Ryan Murphy. He praised his openly gay cast membrs Jane Lynch & Chris Colfer and noted that the show has a great responsibility to the community. In addition, the awards presentation include two performances by Adam Lambert. The American Idol runner-up sang "Music Again" and "Fever" and followed it up with a request for more "diversity within the gay community."
