Cynthia Nixon and Sigourney Weaver glam up for GLAAD.
The pouring rain and gusty winds couldn’t keep the celebrities and beautiful people of New York away from the 2010 GLAAD Media Awards.
Though everyone nominated could be considered a winner for portraying (or being supportive of) portrayals of gay, lesbian and transgender people in the media that are realistic, nuanced and a beacon of light for the entertainment industry, there were none-the-less, clear-cut winners in each of the following categories:
