WATCH: GLAAD Media Awards NYC

Awards shows can be painfully boring unless there's alcohol involved. Of course, then they can become painfully messy. But whatever...

The GLAAD Media Awards are generally a step above other awards shows because they bring in big names who are there supporting appropriate queer representation in the media. But how do you make them entertaining to viewers who weren't at the actual event?

Have The Advocate summarize the whole ceremony into a short video segment. Here you'll find Alan Cumming, Rosie Perez, Sigourney Weaver, Cynthia Nixon and more as they appeared at New York's GLAAD Media Awards.

Watch the longer video that includes other cities on Advocate.com!
