GLAAD gave Brooklyn Nine-Nine its 2018 Outstanding Comedy Series award.
The honor was the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, presented by GLAAD, an organization known for tracking and promoting LGBTQ representation in entertainment. Brooklyn Nine-Nine won at the 29th GLAAD Media Awards, commonly identified as the 2018 GLAAD Media Awards.
The award recognized the series' portrayal of LGBTQ characters and themes. A particularly significant part of that representation was Captain Raymond Holt, an openly gay Black police captain played by Andre Braugher, as well as Rosa Diaz's bisexual coming-out storyline. The show generally treated those identities as part of its characters' lives rather than reducing them to a single plot device.
This was not a Screen Actors Guild, BAFTA, or Peabody award. Those organizations have separate award programs and categories. The wording can cause confusion because the show also received other honors, including a Golden Globe for Andy Samberg and the series' comedy performance, but the 2018 Outstanding Comedy Series win belongs to GLAAD.
