The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics have announced their 2019 winners in film and TV, where the most acclaimed film of the year, Bong joon-ho’s Parasite, won five Dorian Awards. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, Lady Gaga, Florence Pugh and Cats – yes, Cats – also won prizes.
GALECA members total around 240 entertainment journalists who are part of and/or advocate the growing LGBTQ film community. Diane Anderson-Minshall, GALECA’s President, said “When director Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite nearly swept our awards roster with five wins, I was not surprised. Though it’s a Korean film, Parasite speaks rather allegorically to the times we live in I think… appearances, as we know from politics, aren’t everything. Parasite is a perfect film for the Trump era.”
The Dorian Awards Winners Toast will take place on 2nd February in Los Angeles. For now, here are the winners – nominations can be found in full here.
