Nominees announced for the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards

This year’s list includes ‘Captain Marvel,’ ‘The Nice House by the Sea,’ ‘The Deep Dark,’ ‘Ash’s Cabin’ and more.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, or GLAAD, have announced the nominees for the 36th annual Media Awards, which recognize and honor media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the LGBTQ+ community and the issues that affect their lives.

The awards feature two comics-focused categories — one for comics books and one for graphic novels. Last year Marvel’s Doctor Aphra won in the comic book category, while Four-Color Heroes from Fanbase Press won for graphic novels. DC Comics, Marvel, Graphix and Harper Alley all received multiple nominations this year, with DC leading the field with five nominations.

Check out the lists for the two comics categories below, and you can find the complete list of nominees across more than 30 categories on the GLAAD website.
