Why is tonight so important to you?
“The first and foremost reason, I’m here to support Mitchell Gold and his partner Bob Williams. That means the world to me, because we grew up together–and [Mitchell] is a very important person in my life. That’s number one,” explained the legendary “Ugly Betty” star, Judith Light – who looked stunning in an all black ensemble.

“Also, I’ve been with GLAAD since the very beginning — when we used to do these events in small Hotel rooms with 10 about tables,” quipped the impeccable Angela Bower…. (Ahem) I mean, Ms. Light.

“So to watch the growth of an organization like this and see the kind of work that it’s been doing through the years is very heart warming for me and extremely important for the community.”

*Please forgive our gushing, but this is Angela Effing Bower we’re talking about here. Forgive our start-struckness, but Judith Light is incredibly charismatic and poised in person.

A QUICKIE | The premier GLAAD Media Awards in Advertising took place Tuesday, October 27th at New World Stages in New York City. Actor Alan Cumming (he’s done everything from “Josie and the Pussycats” to “Cabaret” on Broadway), who received the Vito Russo Award at the 16th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in 2005, hosted the event along with the brilliantly funny Bryan Batt (Mad Men) and the dapper Jay Manuel (America’s Next Top Model).

But more on those three later. We spoke with all three gents — and we’ll have exclusive quotes and video later tonight — for now here’s a list of the winners and the official press release below the fold. Did we mention that “Ugly Betty’s Judith Light was also there? She was looking fabulous BTW.
