Comments
One difference in this year’s nominees is that there’s a lot more of them. It’s a positive sign things are changing in the media landscape, I hope.
Fans of “Steven Universe” will be glad to see the show get recognition; however, it’s got stiff competition against also-popular series like “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Modern Family.” Similarly, “The Loud House” has strong competitors with shows like “Black-ish.”
The comics nominees are a mix of DC, Marvel, Boom, and a few other publishers.
The GLAAD Media Awards will be given out on April 1 in Los Angeles and on May 6 in New York.
