Glaadawards

The feature film Pariah and ABC's Dancing with the Stars were awarded with Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation awards on Saturday night in New York.

Smash producers Craig Zadan & Neil Meron received the prestigious Vito Russo Award, presented to them by Bernadette Peters and John Stamos. Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein honored openly gay 17-year-old anti-bullying advocate, Katy Butler, who has been lobbying the Motion Picture Association of America to lower the rating for the documentary Bully, so younger people may view it. Dee Rees's coming-of-age feature Pariah, starring Adepero Oduye and Kim Wayans, won outstanding feature film while Dancing With The Stars won outstanding reality television program. The Advocate and Out also shared a win for outstanding overall magazine coverage. The event was hosted by Glee's Cory Monteith and Naya Rivera.

Additional categories will be presented at the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles on April 21 and in San Francisco on June 2.
