Billy Crystal was honored with the Excellence in Media Award; given to "individuals in the media and entertainment industries who through their work have increased the visibility and understanding of the LGBT community." Alan Cumming was given the Vito Russo Award; given to "an openly lesbian, gay or bisexual member of the entertainment or media community for outstanding contributions toward eliminating homophobia."[2]
