This is the second time in three years that Lil Nas X has won as outstanding music artist. He also took the award in 2020. Sam Smith won last year. Lil Nas X is the eighth repeat winner for outstanding music artist in the show’s history. Melissa Etheridge, Rufus Wainwright, k.d. lang and Scissor Sisters have each won the award three times. Indigo Girls, Lady Gaga and Tegan and Sara have also each won it twice.

The “Elliot Page” episode of The Oprah Conversation won outstanding variety or talk show episode. In the episode, Winfrey talked with the former Ellen Page, the Oscar-nominated star of the 2007 film Juno, who publicly came out as transgender in December 2020. In a high-profile moment for a transgender star, Page joined her Juno co-stars Jennifer Garner and J.K. Simmons to present an award on this year’s Oscars in March.

Company and Thoughts of a Colored Man tied as outstanding Broadway production. Company, starring Katrina Lenk in a gender-switched revival of Stephen Sondheim’s prized 1970 musical, is seen as this year’s front-runner to win a Tony Award for best revival of a musical. Thoughts of a Colored Man is expected to receive a nomination for best play. (The Tony nominations will be announced on Monday May 9).

During the ceremony, GLAAD announced award recipients for several categories live onstage. They included Pose (outstanding drama series); the Today show segment “HIV/AIDS: 40 Years Later” (outstanding TV journalism segment); Power Rangers (outstanding kids & family programming); and Sesame Street (outstanding children’s programming).

“This year’s GLAAD Media Awards come at a time where LGBTQ visibility and storytelling can be the frontline response to a dangerous rise in anti-LGBTQ legislation around the country,” Sarah Kate Ellis, president and CEO of GLAAD, said in a statement. “Our nominees and award recipients…showcase the beautiful diversity of LGBTQ people.”

Ellis, Rich Ferraro, and Anthony Allen Ramos were executive producers of the GLAAD Media Awards. Crystal Butler, Melissa Harris, John McCourt, Johanna Osburn, Matthew Zaccagni were producers. Juana Guichardo and Jose Useche were associate producers and Wendy Shanker was head writer.
