GLAAD has announced this year’s crop of nominees for its 2011 Media Awards. The awards honour “outstanding images of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community” and include film, TV, documentary and music. The awards also include categories in TV, newspaper, magazine and digital journalism.

New this year is the Outstanding Blog category. Nominees include The Bilerico Project, Blabbeando, Joe.My.God., Pam’s House Blend and Rod 2.0.

Joe.My.God. occasionally tips off readers to items on xtra.ca, which we appreciate, so we wish him luck (yes, we’re that easy).
