GALECA (Gay & Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association) Announce Dorian Awards Winners

January 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dorian-2013-winners
Who cares about the Oscars? The Dorian Awards are where it’s at, although I may be slightly biased as I’m a member of GALECA, the Gay & Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association, which hands out the gongs to the best in TV and film.

The winners of this year’s awards have now been announced, with Argo and Keep The Lights on taking the biggest prizes of Best Film and Best LGBT Film. Daniel Day-Lewis and Anne Hathaway also have reason to celebrate, as they’ve picked up some love from the gay critics, who’ve awarded them Best Actor and Best Actress for Lincoln and Les Miserables respectively.

GALECA’s members deemed Ezra Miller worthy of their We’re Wilde About You Rising Star, honouring him for his portrayal of a bullied gay teen in The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

In the more unusual film categories, the comic drama Bernie, starring Jack Black as a murderous – but supernice – funeral director, was named Unsung Film of the Year. Channing Tatum’s guy-strippers melodrama Magic Mike and the Zac Efron-starring potboiler The Paperboy tied for the group’s novel Campy Film of the Year title.

On the TV side, American Horror Story won TV Drama of the Year for the second straight year (this time it tied with the conspiracy thriller Homeland). The series’ star, Jessica Lange, won TV Performance of the Year a second time as well. Girls took TV Comedy of the Year, while Modern Family and freshman gay-life satire The New Normal tied for LGBT TV Show of the Year. Campy TV Show of the Year honours went to the Lindsay Lohan starring biopic Liz & Dick, while the Unsung TV Show award was given to the comedy Happy Endings.

In new categories, GALECA named Ryan Murphy, co-creator of American Horror Story, The New Normal and Glee, as Wilde Artist of the Year. Fox’s Life of Pi was the group’s pick for Visually Striking Film of the Year, while TV or Movie Title of the Year went to Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23, which bested the likes of I Was Impaled and It’s Christmas, Carol! for that silly, er, title.
