Lots of others!
The GLAAD Media Awards are spread among three events -- the one this evening, one in LA in April, and another in SanFran in June. The awards exist to "celebrate the most outstanding images of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community in the media" -- be the media film, television, print journalism, online journalism, television journalism, whathaveyou.
