The Oscar winner Moonlight has won again, taking best film at the 28th annual GLAAD Media Awards.
Barry Jenkins’ coming-of-age portrait was honoured by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation at the awards held Saturday at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles.
The group nominated only two films for the award, which it said reflected the dearth of LGBT story lines in Hollywood. The other nominee was Star Trek Beyond.
On the TV side, Jill Soloway’s Transparent won for outstanding comedy series.
The best drama series went to the Freeform fantasy Shadowhunters.
Patricia Arquette was honoured with the Vanguard Award and tearfully dedicated the award to her late transgender sister, Alexis Arquette.
The awards honour the “fair, accurate and inclusive representations” of the LGBT community.
