LGBTQ Journalists Heap Nominations on The Favourite, Roma

GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics announced its nominees for its milestone 10th Dorian Awards for the best in film and television of 2018.

Leading in the movie categories with eight nominations is the powerhouse lesbian tale, The Favourite, followed by If Beale Street Could Talk, Can You Ever Forgive Me, and Roma with six nods each, and A Star Is Born, with four. The latest retelling of A Star Is Born also nabbed nominations for the film's stars, Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, both up for performance honors as well as GALECA's Wilde Artist of the Year award.

In TV categories, FX's transgender-empowering drama Pose and BBC America's biting cat-and-mouse thriller Killing Eve lead among drama series. The stars of Killing Eve, Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, are both nominated for TV Performance, Best Actress awards. Meanwhile, Hugh Grant and his A Very English Scandal costar Ben Whishaw face each other on the gentlemen's side.

Also making a fresh impression with GALECA, which comprises over 200 journalists in the U.S., Canada, Australia and the U.K., is HBO's hitman comedy Barry, Pop network's rich-family satire Schitt's Creek, and Julia Roberts and her cryptic new Amazon conspiracy tale Homecoming.

"We're thrilled by the strong variety of films and TV performances our diverse group of members has chosen to praise," said Diane Anderson-Minshall, GALECA president and editorial director of The Advocate. "In a lovely compliment to the Time's Up movement, several categories, including Wilde Artist of the Year, Wilde Wit of the Year, and Rising Star, are dominated by women this year. And it's inspiring that the majority of our Director of the Year nominees are people of color, including Spike Lee, Barry Jenkins, and Alfonso Cuaron."

"It's hard to believe this is our 10th go-around of giving out our Dorian Awards," added GALECA's executive director John Griffiths. "In such oddly combative times, that's really something to covfefe."

Radio personality Frank DeCaro(The Daily Show, Sirius XM's The Frank DeCaro Show) will preside as Master of Ceremonies at the invitation-only 10th Dorian Awards Winners Toast on Saturday, January 12 in Los Angeles, where the winners will be announced.

Since GALECA's first film and TV favorites were named in 2010, over 200 artists and productions have received a Dorian Award, while over 1,000 have received nominations. Check out this year's nominees here:
