GLAAD Media Awards: Night 2 Winners
Check out all the winners from the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards.
On Saturday (May 13), GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) hosted the second of two installments of its annual GLAAD Media Awards. This ceremony marked the second half of the awards, following the initial celebration in Los Angeles in March.
The star-studded New York ceremony took place at the Hilton Midtown in New York City and was hosted by Harvey Guillén. During the show, winners were named for 18 out of the 33 categories. The other half had already been given out earlier this year in LA.
The party was planned around Maren Morris receiving the Excellence in Media Award, which was presented by Cynthia Lee Fontaine and Alyssa Edwards. She may have stolen the night, as she used her time on stage to praise the trans community and drag Tucker Carlson over his bigoted views and being fired from Fox News. Additionally, Jonathan Van Ness was honored with the Vito Russo Award, presented by musician Alok.

Fire Island writer and star Joel Kim Booster also grabbed headlines as he showed his support for writer’s, who are currently on strike in Hollywood over low pay and the introduction of AI. His speech was the perfect blend of heartfelt, political, and funny.
