Shocking!: GLAAD likes Brokeback and Capote

GLAAD yesterday announced the finalists for its annual Media Awards and, since the Awards "recognize and honor mainstream media for fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community," it's no surprise that Brokeback Mountain, Capote, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang are among the major nominees. What is surprising, however, is how much GLAAD's honorees overlap this year with mainstream awards - it's not very often, for example, that the same work that dominates the Golden Globes also is appears on GLAAD's list of outstanding films. Wow - I guess that evil, gay agenda really is working!

The GLAAD Media Awards will be handed out at a quartet of fundraising dinners in late spring, and will be aired on LOGO and VH1 in April.
