MILK NOMINATED AT GLAAD AWARDS

GUS VAN SANT's MILK has received another prestigious nod - the movie has been shortlisted for an Outstanding Film gong at the 20th annual Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Media Awards. The biopic, which stars Sean Penn as assassinated American politician and gay rights activist Harvey Milk, will compete with Brideshead Revisited, indie film Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla, and Woody Allen's comedy Vicky Cristina Barcelona for the award.
In TV, Brothers & Sisters, The L Word, South of Nowhere, Torchwood and True Blood are all nominated in GLAAD's Outstanding Drama Series category, while Desperate Housewives, Greek, Reaper, Skins and Ugly Betty will battle it out for TV's Outstanding Comedy Series.
Former supermodel Tyra Banks is dominating this year's (09) Outstanding Reality Show and Outstanding Talk Show Episodes categories.
She is nominated for the latest season of America's Next Top Model, a show she hosts and executive produces, as well as an impressive three out of five nods for separate episodes of The Tyra Banks Show which dealt with gay issues.
Banks will also receive GLAAD's Excellence in Media award.
The awards, which honor media representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, will take place at a series of dinners in New York on 28 March, Los Angeles' Kodak Theater on 18 April, and San Francisco on 9 May (09).
