Dorian Film Awards 2021...Winners...
The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA) has unveiled the nominations for the 2021 Dorian Film Awards...
Minari leads the way with six nominations, including best film and best foreign-language film, with the organization declaring "take that, Golden Globes," in reference to the awards show's controversial decision to place Minari in the foreign-language film category. Nomadland scored five nominations, including for best film, best director and screenplay (Chloé Zhao) and best actress (Frances McDormand) and Most Visually Striking Film.
The rest of the best film nominees are Promising Young Woman (four nods overall), First Cow and Sound of Metal (three nods apiece).
Zhao and the late Chadwick Boseman are both up for the group's Wilde Artist Award, with Boseman also nominated for best actor for his work in his last film, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. The other nominees for the Wilde Award, named for Oscar Wilde and given to a "groundbreaking force in entertainment," are Regina King (who made her feature directorial debut in 2020 with One Night in Miami), Dolly Parton and Elliot Page.
The winners will be celebrated in the Dorians Film Toast 2021 special set to air on queer platform Revry on April 18.
Nonprofit organization GALECA was launched in 2009 to explore and celebrate both mainstream and LGBTQ-centered content. Its 250-plus members are all active critics and journalists.
