GLAAD Media Awards 2025 Nominations Revealed - 'Emilia Perez' Overlooked, 'Wicked' & Others Nominated

justjared.com:

The nominations have been revealed for the 2025 GLAAD Media Awards, and one critically acclaimed LGBTQ+ film is notably absent from the pack of nominees.

The annual awards ceremony will return for a 36th year in 2025. According to GLAAD, it’s goal is to “recognize and honor fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of the LGBTQ community in an ever-expanding and media landscape.” On Wednesday (January 22), the organization revealed the crop of nominees that would be honored at the ceremony.

While projects such as Wicked and Queer were notably featured, Netflix’s Emilia Perez was left off the list. The snub comes after GLAAD declared that the movie, which stars Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez and trans actress Karla Sofia Gascon, was “not good trans representation” in a November 2024 essay.

The story included reviews from transgender film critics and noted that “inauthentic portrayals of trans people are offensive and even dangerous.” Emilia Perez has generated a lot of buzz throughout awards season.
