Logo’s NewNowNext Awards are like psychic awards because they predict the future and are also very strange, but interesting and exciting. Autofaves Skins, Darren Criss and Amber Heard are obvs in the running for the 2011 awards show since we’ve pretty much dedicated our life to having our finger on the gay pulse. For the fourth year in a row, Autostraddle was not nominated for an OMG Internet Award.
The NNN Awards actually have an impressive track record, having identified Lady Gaga, True Blood and Julie Goldman as Significant Things before they hit the mainstream radar. In fact, the first annual NNN Awards was the site of Gaga’s very first televised performance of “Just Dance” back in May 2008:
NewNowNext Awards used to take place in New York City –here’s Autostraddle’s trip to the red carpet in 2009:
So, here we have the nominees for the 2011 edition. The winners will be revealed on Monday, April 11th on Logo’s 90-minute special taped in front of a live audience. It’s sure to be super gay and involve a drag queen or two and usually the people who show up win.

josh kilmer-purcell has a teevee show?
Yes, and it’s so good! He and his partner run a farm while he keeps his day job to still, y’know, like make money and stuff. There’s a llama named Polka Spot. Sometimes they slaughter pigs and it’s super sad. Oh! And there’s this other guy, Farmer John, who actually knows what he’s doing so he does most of the actual farm-y stuff. He cries about goats and is generally adorable.
About four minutes into your video when Ongina said she wanted to make your RuPaul doll into a headpiece, I nearly pissed my pants. LOVE HER!
What needs to happen:
Darren Chris
Sassy Gay Friend
Skins

Will anybody be there with broken microphones or anything?
i thought you were joking when you said autostraddle wasn’t nominated for an OMG internet award and then i scrolled down and realized that’s actually a thing?
Logo leaves no stone left unturned
In the tradition of Passover, may next year we be in Jerusalem
(For the goyim, crossing our fingers for an OMG internet award for next year? Please oh gods of the internet!)
Donald Glover will never beat a buncha white boys on actually gay-themed programming, but he totally deserves all of the awards that exist.
Also:
I was very confused to see Tosh.0 nominated for anything other than “fastest time-to-remote-inspiration for South Park viewers,” but then I realized about Viacom.
OH LAND!
harry potter and the deathly hallows 2 MUST WIN, or
you are a fool (logo) and you will lose
EVERYTHING
and how is carmen carrera even nominated for most addictive reality star? seriously, she has zero charisma uniqueness nerve talent.
