'Case' Gets GLAAD Nom

GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) announced its nominees for the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards Sunday (Jan. 20th) and PTR fave Cold Case was among the honored series. The crime drama is nominated for this season's "Boy Crazy" for its sensitive portrayal of transgender issues.

Other nominated series this year include: Dirty Sexy Money, My Name is Earl, Boston Legal, Project Runway, Ugly Betty, The L Word, and Brothers and Sisters. Overall, ABC garnered the most nominations with nine.
