Adam Lambert, Lil Nas X and Mika have all been nominated for a GLAAD Media Award.
The full shortlist has been revealed ahead of the ceremony on April 16 in Hollywood, with GLAAD (the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) recognising the best across all areas of the entertainment world.
In the outstanding music artist category, the trio of stars find themselves given the nod alongside the likes of Melissa Etheridge, Tegan and Sara, Young M.A., King Princess, Kevin Abstract and Kim Petras.
The wide release film shortlist sees Sir Elton John biopic ‘Rocketman’ competing with ‘Judy’, ‘Downton Abbey’, ‘Bombshell’ and ‘Booksmart’, while ‘Killing Eve’, ‘Batwoman’ and ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ make up the eclectic drama series nominees.
Meanwhile, the Outstanding Comedy Series award has the likes of ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ and ‘Schitt’s Creek’ facing off with ‘Work in Progress’, ‘Vida’, ‘The Other Two’ and more.
Elsewhere, ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’, ‘Queer Eye’ and ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ are in the running for the reality programme prize, with ‘Overwatch’ and ‘Apex Legends’ amongst those nominated in the video game category.
It has already been announced that Taylor Swift will received the prestigious Vanguard Award at this year’s ceremony for her continued efforts in promoting LGBTQ acceptance.
GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement: "From boldly standing up against anti-LGBTQ elected officials to shining attention on the urgent need to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination through the Equality Act, Taylor Swift proudly uses her unique ability to influence pop culture to promote LGBTQ acceptance. In a time of political and cultural division, Taylor creates music that unites and calls on her massive fan following to speak up and call for change."
