When award season nominations have you tearing out your hair, GALECA struts in to remind us all what fabulous fun this all should be.

The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (A.K.A. GALECA) is a guild of which I am proud to be a part. And we have unveiled their list of nominees for the 2021 Dorian Awards, celebrating the best in 2020 film. There’s love shown for frontrunners like Nomadland, Promising Young Woman, Sound of Metal and One Night In Miami.
