The nominations for this year’s British LGBT Awards have now been announced, with RuPaul, Elliot Page, Phillip Schofield, Lil Nas X and Anne-Marie among the stars who’ve been recognised.
The Channel 4 drama It’s A Sin has also been nominated for an award, as have Strictly Come Dancing and the hit comedy Schitt’s Creek.
In the running in the main Celebrity category are Oscar nominee Elliot Page, who came out as trans last year, as well as Jameela Jamil, Fleabag’s Andrew Scott and singer Demi Lovato.
Chart-topping stars Lil Nas X, MNEK and Anne-Marie have received nods in the Music Artist category, alongside Brit nominees Rina Sawayama and Harry Styles as well as YouTube personality Jojo Siwa, who came out earlier this year.
Meanwhile, in the Media Moment category are TV shows like It’s A Sin, Schitt’s Creek, Hollywood and Feel Good, as well as Christmas film Happiest Season.
Phillip Schofield has been nominated in the Broadcaster, Journalist or Host category for the first time, as have his This Morning co-star Dr Ranj Singh, Vogue editor Edward Enninful and daytime star Steph McGovern.
The latest series of RuPaul’s Drag Race has been nominated for its inclusion of its first trans man, Gottmik, as has Strictly Come Dancing, for featuring its first same-sex partnership last year.
For this year’s awards show, there are also two categories for celebrities who have shown allyship to the LGBTQ+ community.
Charli XCX, Michelle Visage, Schitt’s Creek’s Dan Levy and Jane Fonda are all in the running for Celebrity Ally, while a new category has been created for “Football Ally”.
Among these nominees are Gary Lineker, Jamie Vardy and Jordan Henderson.
