All the Geeky GLAAD Media Awards 2023 Nominees

By Sideshow

Every year, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) hosts their own media awards. This annual event is always packed full of geeky LGBTQ+ content. And as media progresses and becomes more inclusive, the list thankfully gets even longer. So without further ado, here’s all the geeky GLAAD 2023 nominations!

Everything Everywhere All At Once

A24’s colorful, multiverse-traveling mind-trip of a film is nominated for Outstanding Film — Wide Release.

Lightyear

This Disney animated tale about Buzz Lightyear’s fictional adventures in outer space is shooting toward Outstanding Film — Wide Release.

Nope

The race for Outstanding Film — Wide Release continues with Jordan Peele’s latest unique, unnerving, and underrated horror film Nope.

Scream

Not even Ghost Face® could kill this vibe! Scream’s latest reboot is out for blood … er, we mean, Outstanding Film — Wide Release.

Strange World

Full of family fun, peculiar planets, and a whole ‘lotta heart, Disney’s Strange World is flying toward Outstanding Film — Wide Release.

Wendell & Wild

Horror flicks continue to slay. Wendell & Wild, a delightful and devious stop-motion story, pursues victory in Outstanding Film — Limited Release.

Harley Quinn

Obviously this DC Comics animated show got a nom for Outstanding Comedy Series. Like, it’s Harley-frickin-Quinn.

What We Do In The Shadows

If What We Do In The Shadows didn’t get to sink its teeth into the Outstanding Comedy Series category, we’d probably have to protest on the streets of New York Cittaaaay.

Chucky

If you’re a Child’s Play fan, you better get out your dolls and form a prayer circle for Chucky to take home Outstanding Drama Series.

Star Trek: Discovery

Let’s hope the sensational sci-fi series that is Star Trek: Discovery is able to live long and prosper — and perhaps also win Outstanding Drama Series!

The Umbrella Academy

All that world-saving and intense character introspection earned Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy a well-deserved run at Outstanding Drama Series.

Interview with the Vampire

It’s brutal, it’s bloody, it’s brilliant, and it’s nominated for Outstanding New TV Series! If you aren’t yet watching Interview with the Vampire, get that AMC+ subscription and go feral.

Our Flag Means Death

Gentlemen (gender neutral), pirates, and everybody outside and in-between, let’s cheer for Our Flag Means Death and its Outstanding New TV Series nom.

Willow

Sweeping fantasy and a WLW love story? Sign us up, and then check out Disney+ to see why Willow is a contender for Outstanding New TV Series.

The Sandman

The Sandman certainly brought us a dream: queer characters and cast members, diverse narratives, and a faithful comic adaptation for longtime fans and newcomers alike to enjoy. Now maybe it will achieve its own dream by winning Outstanding New TV Series.

The Dragon Prince

Netflix’s The Dragon Prince has spread its wings and is soaring toward Outstanding Kids & Family Programming — Animated.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous

Dinosaurs and camp? We’re in. Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is stomping toward Outstanding Kids & Family Programming — Animated.

Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!

What’s new Scooby-Doo? Oh, jus this prospective Outstanding Kids & Family Programming — Animated award!

Power Rangers: Dino Fury

Go go, Power Rangers, as they unite to compete in the Outstanding Kids & Family Programming — Live Action category!

The ninth expansion pack in the World of Warcraft franchise continues to astound. Hop on the multiplayer experience to visit Dragon Isles and see what makes this media worthy of that Outstanding Video Game nomination.

Immortal X-Men

Even if it doesn’t win Outstanding Comic Book, may this amazing X-Men installment in the Marvel Comics canon live forever.

New Mutants

Marvel continues to evolve and impress with New Mutants, which earned an Outstanding Comic Book nom.

Poison Ivy

Although we know she prefers green, maybe there’s some gold in Poison Ivy’s future regarding the Outstanding Comic Book category.

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra

Our favorite galaxy far, far away gets a little gayer everywhere she goes. Naturally, then, Star Wars’ Doctor Aphra™ has got her sights set on that Outstanding Comic Book win.

Superman: Son of Kal-El

Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s an Outstanding Comic Book nom for Superman: Son of Kal-El!

Tim Drake: Robin

It doesn’t take the World’s Greatest Detective to sleuth out why Tim Drake: Robin made the list for Outstanding Comic Book!
