GLAAD announces nominees The Gay and Lesbian Association Against Defamation ignored critics in naming its nominees for 1999’s best in media, with two of the year’s worst-reviewed movies—Adam Sandler’s juvenile comedy Big Daddy and Joel Schumacher’s drag-queen dramedy Flawless—scoring nods. They were among the nominees for best wide-release film, along with Being John Malkovich, Election, and Happy, Texas. Meanwhile, gay director Pedro Almodóvar’s All About My Mother is up against Better Than Chocolate, Boys Don’t Cry, Edge of Seventeen, and Show Me Love in the limited-release category. TV nominees include two shows that have already been canceled, Fox’s Action and ABC’s Oh Grow Up (the latter was created by gay writer Alan Ball, who also wrote the smash film American Beauty). They are competing for outstanding comedy series along with Telemundo’s Los Beltran, HBO’s Sex and the City, and NBC’s Will & Grace. The ubiquitous Kevin Williamson’s WB teen melodrama Dawson’s Creek faces that same network’s Felicity, HBO’s Oz, and MTV’s Undressed in the best drama series category. The GLAAD Media Awards, honoring “fair, accurate, and inclusive representations” of the gay community, are scheduled for April 15 in Los Angeles. << MAIN ENTERTAINMENT MENU || NEXT STORY >> |
