On Wednesday (Feb. 5), GLAAD announced that Ben Platt will join the 31st annual GLAAD Media Awards as a guest performer. The Tony Award winner will take the stage during the New York ceremony to give a special musical performance, while also representing his Netflix show The Politician, which is nominated for a GLAAD award.
Platt will join a stunning cast of previously announced guests: Writer and producer Ryan Murphy will be in attendance to receive the organization’s Vito Russo Award, while Judith Light will accept the Excellence in Media Award. Late-night host Lilly Singh will serve as the evening’s host, and special guests Jaboukie Young-White, the cast of FX’s Pose, and Schitt’s Creek’s Emily Hampshire will also attend.
