GLAAD Media Awards: Heated Rivalry, Stranger Things, The Traitors Lead TV Winners
"Heated Rivalry" has a nice winning streak going: HBO Max's gay hockey drama was among the winners at this year's GLAAD Media Awards, handed out Thursday in Los Angeles.
"Heated Rivalry" took home the trophy for best new TV series, while Netflix's sci-fi epic "Stranger Things" won for best drama series and Apple TV's recently axed "Palm Royale" won for best comedy series. Peacock's fiendishly clever strategy game "The Traitors" won for best reality competition, while Bravo's "Southern Hospitality" won for best reality program.
Thursday's 37th annual ceremony, hosted by "Mean Girls" alum Jonathan Bennett, also saw "Abbott Elementary" star Quinta Brunson honored with the Vanguard Award and podcasters Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers receiving the Stephen F. Kolzak Award. Plus, pop superstar Demi Lovato opened the show with a performance of her hit song "Kiss."
The GLAAD Media Awards "honor fair, accurate, and inclusive LGBTQ stories," with nearly 300 nominees recognized in more than 30 categories. This year's ceremony will be available to stream exclusively on Hulu beginning Saturday, March 21.
