The British LGBT Awards praised Harry’s “unapologetic” nature and "inclusivity" in music for his place as a nominee, with mention to his upcoming movie, My Policeman, where he will play a gay police officer.

They said: “While Harry Styles may have begun his career through One Direction, he has since skyrocketed to another level of celebrity through his work in the fashion industry and his solo music career.
