The
21st GLAAD Media Awards was the 2010 annual presentation of the
media awards presented by the
Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. The awards seek to honor films, television shows, musicians and works of journalism that fairly and accurately represent the
LGBT community and issues relevant to the community. The 21st annual award ceremony included 116 nominees in 24 English-language categories, and 36 Spanish-language nominees in eight categories.
The awards were presented in three separate shows: one on New York City on March 13, one in Los Angeles on April 18, and one in San Francisco on June 5. Additional guests and presenters included Elizabeth Keener, Tom Ford, Benjamin Bratt and Rob Halford.
Comedian Wanda Sykes received the Stephen F. Kolzak Award, which is presented to an openly gay media professional who has made a difference promoting and advancing equal rights in the community. She said of receiving award, "I greatly appreciate the work that GLAAD continues to do, promoting equality, fair representation and tolerance for our LGBT community. I just pray that I don't ruin what GLAAD has achieved with all of my shenanigans."
