GLAAD has announced its full list of nominees for the 27th Annual GLAAD Media Awards ahead of its events in Los Angeles on April 2nd and New York City on May 14th, 2016. The awards recognize and honor various branches of media for their outstanding representations of the LGBT community and the issues that affect their lives. Honorees are selected by a process involving over 700 GLAAD Media Award voters and volunteers and are evaluated using four criteria: “Fair, Accurate, and Inclusive Representations” of the LGBT community, “Boldness and Originality” of the project, significant “Cultural Impact” on mainstream culture, and “Overall Quality” of the project. Nominees this year include such award season favorites as Carol and The Danish Girl, as well as indie darlings Dope and Tangerine.
