GLAAD hands it to Brothers & Sisters

After being sadly neglected by the Golden Globes and guild-awards givers earlier this year, Brothers & Sisters finally brought home a trophy at the GLAAD Media Awards, handed out Sunday, April 15 in Los Angeles.
The awards are given to “recognize and honor mainstream media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and the issues that affect their lives,� and Brothers & Sisters bested The L Word, Hex, The Sopranos, and South of Nowhere for the title of Outstanding Drama Series. Jon Robin Baitz (show creator) and Matthew Rhys (who plays gay brother Kevin) accepted the award, with Dave Annable, Balthazar Getty, Rachel Griffiths, Ron Rifkin and Patricia Wettig also onstage.
It was a good night for ABC: The other television winners were Ugly Betty for Outstanding Comedy Series and the Grey’s Anatomy episode “Where the Boys Are” for Outstanding Individual Episode.
The awards will be broadcast on the Logo Network on Saturday, April 21. Meanwhile, enjoy the brief and slightly silly red-carpet interview with Patricia Wettig and Ron Rifkin at the end of this YouTube clip.
