Demi Lovato and Sir Elton John are amongst the nominees for the 2022 GLAAD Awards.
Demi up for GLAAD Award
The 29-year-old popstar - who made the decision to drop gender pronouns in 2021 - and the 74-year-old glam rock icon have received a nod from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation organisation, whose awards acknowledge celebrities and media projects that have had a positive impact on the LGBT community.
Both singers are nominated for the Outstanding Music Artist, with Demi nominated for their album 'Dancing with the Devil... the Art of Starting Over' and Sir Elton for his record 'The Lockdown Sessions.'
GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement: "Media can create positive change and this year’s nominees represent powerful projects, stories, and creators that positively shifted culture and enlightened audiences with new and impactful LGBTQ stories."
The nominees are all being recognized for "fair, accurate, and inclusive representations" of LGBTQ people and issues in TV, film, music and media and is a record-breaking year for nominees with 246 across 30 categories.
Streaming giant Netflix received the most nomination- 26 in total - whilst HBO was a distant second with nine.
Other nominees include St. Vincent and Lucy Dacus, whilst film and TV shows in the running for an award include' Eternals', 'West Side Story', 'Grey's Anatomy', 'Pose, Hacks', 'Yellowjackets', 'Queer Eye'.
Ellis added: "There are more nominees this year than ever before, highlighting a growing landscape of LGBTQ visibility, and serving as a reminder to the critical role that film, television, music, journalism, and other forms of media can play in growing LGBTQ acceptance in the face of ongoing attacks against our community."
The 33rd Annual GLAAD Media Awards ceremonies will take place in Los Angeles on April 2 and in New York City on May 6.
The first GLAAD Media Awards event was held in 1989 and has since seen the likes of Madonna and Kylie Minogue acknowledged for their impact on the gay community.
