‘Moonlight’ shines at GLAAD awards
The Oscar winner “Moonlight” has won again, taking best film at the 28th annual GLAAD Media Awards.
Barry Jenkins’ coming-of-age portrait was honored Saturday by the organization formerly called the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation at the awards show in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The group nominated only two films for the award, which it said reflected the dearth of LGBTQ storylines in Hollywood. The other one was “Star Trek Beyond.”
On the TV side, Jill Soloway’s “Transparent” won for outstanding comedy series. Best drama series went to the Freeform fantasy “Shadowhunters.”
Patricia Arquette was honored with the Vanguard Award and tearfully dedicated the award to her late transgender sister, Alexis Arquette.
The awards honor “fair, accurate and inclusive representations” of the LGBTQ community.
