Wanda Sykes Set To Host GLAAD Media Awards Los Angeles

You can expect even more star power from the 29th Annual GLAAD Media Awards as Wanda Sykes has been announced as the host for this year's ceremony in Los Angeles on April 12 at the Beverly Hilton.

"Wanda Sykes' humor, wit, and status as one of the most visible out women in Hollywood make her the perfect host for the 29th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles," Sarah Kate Ellis, GLAAD President and CEO, said in a statement, which was released last week. "At a time when LGBTQ acceptance and equality are eroding, it's more important than ever that we celebrate the best in LGBTQ representation, and share a few laughs along the way."

Sykes is just one of the stars set to appear at the ceremony, which focuses on fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues. Among the other special guests scheduled to hit the affair include Britney Spears, who will receive the 2018 Vanguard Award, and Jim Parsons, who will receive the Stephen F. Kolzak Award. Additional celebrity attendees include Lena Waithe, Adam Rippon, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Gigi Gorgeous.
