ABC, whose hit show 'Grey's Anatomy' has made headlines over an anti-gay slur used by an actor, led nominees for this year's awards from an organization that monitors depictions of gays and lesbians in the media.

The network landed eight nominations from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, the group announced Sunday.

CBS garnered five nods, NBC three and PBS two. Among cable networks, CNN received four, Bravo and HBO three, and BBC America two. NBC is owned by General Electric Co.; ABC is part of the The Walt Disney Co. HBO is a unit of Time Warner Inc.
