Nominations for the 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards were unveiled this week, with several projects across Canadian film, television and children’s media earning recognition.

The awards were created to honour media that provides “fair, accurate and inclusive” representative for the LGBTQ+ community, according to the GLAAD website. The ceremony covers film, television, streaming, music, news, and more.

Bretten Hannam’s coming-of-age film Wildhood (pictured), produced by Gharrett Patrick Paon and Julie Baldassi, is nominated for Outstanding Film – Streaming or TV. The film, about a Two Spirit Mi’kmaw teen trying to connect with his heritage, is distributed by Mongrel Media in Canada and was acquired in the U.S. by Hulu.

Hannam told Playback Daily in a statement that the nomination is “a warm reminder of all the heart and soul and long, long days cast, crew, and community put into the film. This nomination shows our Two Spirit youth that the world sees them. There is space for us, there is space for our stories. I hope this will inspire, and help make a path forward for future Two Spirit people telling their unique, funny, beautiful stories.”

Chase Joynt’s Framing Agnes is nominated for Outstanding Documentary. The film is directed, co-written and produced by Joynt, co-written by Morgan M Page and produced by Shant Joshi of Fae Pictures. It takes an innovative approach to the documentary format through re-enactments of the experiences of gender-affirming care patients in the 1950s. The doc earned two prizes when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2022.

This is the second consecutive nomination for Joynt in the category. The director’s documentary No Ordinary Man, co-directed with Aisling Chin-Yee, was nominated in 2022.

CBC and HBO Max comedy Sort Of also received a consecutive nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series. Co-created by Bilal Baig and Fab Filippo, the series follows a gender-fluid Millennial balancing their own life with the needs of their family, friends and employers. The first season has earned several accolades, including a Peabody.

Three Canadian-produced animated series were among the five nominated for Outstanding Children’s Programming, including Toronto-based First Generation Films and Dreamworks Animation’s Apple TV+ series Pinecone & Pony, based on The Princess and the Pony children’s book by Kate Beaton, and features non-binary characters.

Industrial Brothers and Boat Rocker’s CBC and Disney Junior preschool series Dino Ranch earned a nod for the episode “Adoptasaurus Rex,” in which two T-Rex dads adopt a baby; and WildBrain’s Netflix series Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City was nominated for the episode “Mint Gala,” which features a transgender character.

“Much like our characters, our audiences have a diversity of experiences growing up and it is important to us that the show reflects that diversity,” said Industrial Brothers co-founder and creative director Matthew Fernandes, adding that “having two dino dads adopting a baby dino just made sense.”

Scott Brothers Entertainment’s Trixie Motel on Discovery+, featuring drag queen Trixie Mattel renovating a vacation destination in Palm Springs, Calif., also earned a nomination for Outstanding Reality Program.

This year’s GLAAD Media Awards will be handed out at two separate events: at the Beverly Hilton in L.A. on March 30, and at the Hilton Midtown in New York City on May 13.
