AFI Awards, USA
YearResultAwardCategory/Recipient(s)
2011 Won AFI Award TV Program of the Year
Ian Brennan
Brad Falchuk
Ryan Murphy
GLEE is a musical miracle - singing loud and proud that it's cool to be a "glee." Creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan choreograph the most structurally ambitious show on television, and the extraordinary cast never misses a step. This star-packed year mashed appearances by Britney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow and Carol Burnett with musical classics like SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, uniting viewers across generations in the shared experience of what it is to struggle, embrace and thrive in the daily challenge of being ourselves.
 
2010 Won AFI Award TV Program of the Year
Ian Brennan
Brad Falchuk
Ryan Murphy
GLEE is an explosion of joy that brings a powerful new voice to network television. Created by Ian Brennan, Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy, GLEE is a wink and a smile to the musicals of Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, but also a spin and a step that sing of what it is to be gay, pregnant, disabled - different. The show is extraordinarily in tune with America's musical lexicon, and the inspired creative ensemble is a singing, dancing sensation - one that has struck a chord with a nation eager to find joy in our differences.
