'Orange Is The New Black,' 'Concussion,' 'Philomena' Win GLAAD Media Awards

Orange is the New Black, Concussion and Philomena were among the winners Saturday at the 25^th annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York City.

Netflix's Orange is the New Black was named outstanding comedy series. Cast members – including Laverne Cox – accepted the award. Cox last month received her own GLAAD award at a separate ceremony in Los Angeles.

Actor George Takei received the group's Vito Russo award in recognition of his gay rights advocacy.

The film Concussion – which tells the story of a bored lesbian housewife who turns to prostitution – was named outstanding film in limited release, while The Weinstein Company's Philomena won in the wide release category. In the Oscar-nominated Philomena, a staunch Catholic woman searches for the son she was forced to give up, who turns out to be gay.
