You are probably aware of how people connect the characters with neurodivergent traits. What are your thoughts on this?

Do you have a role or a genre you would like to try?

GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics has revealed the winners for its 15th annual Dorian Film Awards. Andrew Haigh’s beautifully haunting drama All of Us Strangers was voted both Film of the Year and LGBTQ Film of Year by the 500-member organization of professional journalists, while Haigh also won the Dorian for LGBTQ Screenplay of the Year for his adaptation of the 1987 Japanese…

For the second year in a row, the Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association (GALECA) have rallied around an obvious favorite: “Moonlight.” Last year, Todd Haynes’s “Carol” swept GALECA’s Dorian Awards, and from its prominence amongst the nominees announced today, “Moonlight” will likely do the same.

Not restricted to films with explicit queer themes, the films nominated for film of the year are “Jackie,” “Manchester by the Sea,” “La La Land, “20th Century Women,” and “Moonlight.” The nominees for LGBTQ Film of the Year are “Being 17,” “Closet Monster,” “Moonlight,” “Other People,” and “The Handmaiden.”

Judging by its very strong Oscar chances, the enthusiasm for “Moonlight” has overshadowed all other worthy queer films. “The Handmaiden” was notably absent from the Oscar short list for Best Foreign Language Film, and the other three Dorian nominees are not in contention at all.

Compared to the Golden Globes, GALECA members share some of the tastes of the Hollywood Foreign Press, but with a clear preference towards independent films over more commercial fare. Not surprisingly, GALECA had no love for “Hacksaw Ridge” or “Hell or High Water.” More surprising is the absence of any nominations for “Loving,” which bore parallels to the struggle for same sex marriage, though Ruth Negga was given a Rising Star nomination.

The Dorians honor film and television that has not received much awards attention with the “Unsung” categories; showing some love to “American Honey,” “Sing Street,” and Maria Bamford’s Netflix series “Lady Dynamite.” The “Campy” categories recognized “Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie” and “King Cobra.”

On the TV side, you can be sure the Dorians will be the only awards show nominating “Fuller House” — even if it is in the Campy category. It still makes the absence of any mention of “Billy on the Street” or “Billy Eichner” all the more galling.

GALECA also announced they will present John Waters with the Timeless Star award, which goes to a filmmaker or performer “whose exemplary career is marked by character, wisdom and wit.”

The Dorian winners will be announced on January 26.
