Young Miko and Katseye take top honours at GLAAD Media Awards 2026

Both music awards at the annual GLAAD Media Awards went to young women artists.

On TV, Heated Rivalry won Outstanding New TV Series. Connor Storrie, Robbie GK and other cast members accepted the award.

"To me it's still a surprise," Robbie GK confessed. "Every day I learn of another group of people that I had no idea watched the show, and that's such a fulfilling feeling."

Stranger Things won Outstanding Drama Series, while Palm Royale scooped Outstanding Comedy Series.

On the film front, Kiss of the Spider Woman starring Jennifer Lopez earned the Outstanding Wide Theatrical release gong.
