EXCLUSIVE Video: Jennifer Beals Introduces Ilene Chaiken at the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards

As promised yesterday, before Bravo re-airs the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards (Monday, September 29th @ 6pm EST/PST and Friday, October 3nd @ 2am EST/PST), GLAAD is releasing a few EXCLUSIVE and never-before-seen clips that didn't make it into the broadcast. Yesterday you got to see Graham Norton from the awards in New York City.  Here you can watch Jennifer Beals' speech presenting her boss and The L Word creator, director and executive producer, Ilene Chaiken, with GLAAD's Davidson/Valentini Award. The Davidson/Valentini Award is named after Craig Davidson, GLAAD's first executive director, and his partner Michael Valentini.  The award is presented each year in San Francisco to an openly lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equal rights for our community. Later today we'll be posting a clip of Candis Cayne from Dirty Sexy Money and then on Monday you'll get to see the acceptance speech Ilene Chaiken gave after this introduction by Jennifer Beals. And remember, GLAAD announced a fantastic contest to encourage people to watch the re-airing of the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards on Bravo (click here for all the details).
