GALECA (Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association) Announce Award Nominees

January 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The BAFTA award nominees were announced this morning and the Oscars reveal their shortlist tomorrow, but now it’s time for a list that’s much closer to our hearts (not least because I’m a member), as GALECA – the Gay & Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association – has announced the nominees for their Dorian Awards.

This year GALECA has put Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Keep the Lights On, Les Miserables, Lincoln and Moonrise Kingdom up for its Best Picture Award, while Any Day Now, Cloud Atlas, Gayby, Keep the Lights On and The Perks of Being a Wallflower are up for LGBT Film Of The Year.

Keeping things fresh GALECA also has some more unusual categories, such as Unsing Film Of The Year (Bernie, The Cabin in the Woods, Chronicle, Holy Motors, Looper and Your Sister’s Sister), and Campy Film Of The Year (2016: Obama’s America, Cloud Atlas, Magic Mike, The Paperboy, Pitch Perfect, Rock of Ages), which goes to an OTT movie rather than something deliberately trying to be camp.

Sir Ian McKellan will also be honoured with the Timeless Award, ‘honoring an actor or performer whose exemplary career has been marked by character, wisdom and wit’. He certainly deserves it both for his exemplary career and his outspoken and ceaseless LGBT advocacy.

The winners will be announced on January 16th. GALECA was founded in 2008 and consists of around 80 film and TV critics and entertainment journalists. Take a look below for the full list of nominees (via THR):
