‘Pose’ and Lil Nas X Take Top Prizes at the 2022 GLAAD Media Awards


The 2022 GLAAD Media Awards came to a close in New York City on Friday, with the second of two bicoastal ceremonies revealing the rest of this year’s winners. Cody Rigsby and Peppermint hosted the event, which honored Judith Light with the Excellence in Media Award.

Pose and Lil Nas X took home the top prizes of the night, winning outstanding drama series and outstanding music artist, respectively.

More from The Hollywood Reporter

During the New York ceremony, which took place a month after the Los Angeles ceremony, GLAAD announced the winners live onstage for drama series, TV journalism, kids and family programming and children’s programming.

The ceremony featured performances from Michael R. Jackson and Dove Cameron, with anti-LGBTQ legislation that has cropped up recently being addressed by presenters Laverne Cox, Cynthia Nixon, Tommy Dorfman, Anthony Rapp, the season seven stars of Drag Race All Stars and the night’s hosts. There was also a sneak preview of the upcoming reboot of Queer as Folk.

New York native Wilson Cruz accepted the Vito Russo Award, which is presented to an LGBTQ media professional who has made a significant difference in accelerating LGBTQ acceptance.

The GLAAD Media Awards honor fair, accurate and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues.

At the L.A. ceremony, Kacey Musgraves received the Vanguard Award from Ben Platt, and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez received the Stephen F. Kolzak Award from Andrew Garfield.
