The 16th Dorian Awards
The Dorian Awards aim to honour film and television "from mainstream to gaystream". Galeca: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics is comprised of more 100 professional entertainment journalists globally, with an aim to generate camaraderie in an unsettling media environment, preserve and champion the art of constructive criticism, and remind the world the LGBTQ community has a significant history of enhancing culture at large. Notes by Rich: Starting in 2020, the Dorians have separate film, television and theatre awards, with categories that look at quality, camp-value and position in the LGBTQ community. So of course these are never your normal sets of nominees! There's an intriguing mix of queer titles throughout all of the nominations (even outside the increasing number of LGBTQ categories, which seem oddly redundant when they echo mainstream nominees and winners). And there's a general willingness to look outside the popular movies and series ("Unsung" nominees are particularly worth seeking out). Yes, it's fun to vote for these! And the winners tend to represent my tastes more than other awards I vote in.
