Stardust, Ugly Betty, AfterElton.com Among 19th Annual GLAAD Media Award Nominees

Robert De Niro as a gay pirate in Stardust

Yesterday afternoon at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, GLAAD unveiled its nominations for the 2007 GLAAD Media Awards, spanning television, film, journalism, music, theatre, books and more.

You can find the full list of nominees after the jump, but there are a few we'd like to highlight:

In wide release film, only one of the three films nominated, Stardust, had a gay male storyline (we also gave the film a 2007 Visibility Award for wide release film). In limited release film, The Bubble and Dirty Laundry were the gay male noms.

In television, many of our faves are up for awards: Brothers & Sisters, Dirty Sexy Money, Greek, and Degrassi: The Next Generation nabbed drama noms, while Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, The Sarah Silverman Program and The War at Home earned noms for comedy.

As the World Turns is nominated for Daytime show, along with All My Children, and standalone episodes of My Name is Earl, Cold Case, Boston Legal, Kyle XY, and Law & Order SVU were singled out for their contributions to LGBT visibility.

We'd also like to thank GLAAD's nominating committee for AfterElton.com's first GLAAD Media Award Nomination, for the article "Gay Newsmen: A Clearer Picture", by James Hillis. We're honored to be among such company as Salon.com, Newsweek.com, BET.com and ESPN.com.

Overall, ABC blew the other networks out of the water with nine total noms (CBS came in a distant second with three), and Logo (who owns AfterElton) leads the cable nets with five noms in the first year that gay media was eligible for nomination.

The awards ceremonies will be held March-May in various cities. Check out the full release after the break or head over to GLAAD's website for more on the awards.
