Several Hollywood titans took to the 29th annual GLAAD Media Awards on Thursday night (April 12) to show their support and acceptance for the LGBTQ community. While Britney Spears and Jim Parson walked away with two of the biggest honors of the night, a number of other trophies were given out inside of the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, including honors for LGBTQ media representation in the worlds of music, film television, and more.
During the Wanda Skyes-hosted event, Spears was on-site to receive the biggest honor of the night for the 2018 Vanguard Award, which was followed by Jim Parsons' honor for the Stephen F. Kolzak Award. Additional winners included This Is Us for Outstanding Drama Series, Netflix's Master of None episode "Thanksgiving" for Outstanding Individual Episode and When We Rise for Outstanding TV Movie or Limited Series. Meanwhile, GLAAD's new category of the year, which honored LGBTQ-inclusive content in kids and family television, went to Andi Mack.
More honors will be given out when the east coast installment of the ceremony takes place in New York on May 5. In the meantime, scroll on below to see the winners of the Los Angeles-based show!
