I Saw the TV Glow Leads Dorian Awards Nominations

Jane Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow leads this year’s Dorian Awards nominations from GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics with nine nods including Film of the Year, LGBTQ Film of the Year, Director of the Year, and Screenplay of the Year. Elsewhere, Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance scored eight nominations, while Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers and Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez earned six nods each.

“Entertainment journalists are an obviously integral part of the Hollywood ecosystem, and we want to make sure they aren’t forgotten in what’s already a very tough environment for those in our profession,” said GALECA Executive Director John Griffiths. Added Vice President Diane Anderson-Minshall: “We applaud our friends at the Press Club and its sister organization the National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards for coming to our brethren’s need.”

Formed in 2009, GALECA now consists of over 400 professional critics and entertainment journalists (including Filmotomy’s Editor Robin Write and Awards Editor Doug Jamieson), making it one of the largest and most influential organizations of its type in the world. Members are predominantly based in the U.S., with some in Canada, Australia and the U.K. They work or freelance for an impressive array of online, print and broadcast outlets.

The Dorian Awards will take place on February 13 Full list of nominations below.
