GLAAD Media Awards Nominations: Netflix Leads the Way

Netflix continues to be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the awards front.

GLAAD unveiled its nominations for 2021, and the streamer came out on top with 26 total nominations.

HBO Max garnered nine nominations, followed by HBO, Amazon and Hulu (which nabbed four each). Among broadcast networks, only ABC and NBC earned nods, with two each.

Harley Quinn, The Umbrella Academy, and Saved by the Bell were among this year’s first-time contenders.
