‘All of Us Strangers,’ ‘Barbie’ Lead Nominations at GALECA: Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics Dorian Film Awards

Andrew Haigh’s “All of Us Strangers” led nominations Monday for the 15th Dorian Film Awards, as voted on by the Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics, with nine nominations, including Film of the Year, LGBTQ Film of the Year, Director of the Year, co-lead Andrew Scott and supporting actress Claire Foy.

The group’s more than 500 entertainment critics and journalists also handed out nods to “Barbie,” which scored seven nominations; followed by Todd Haynes’ “May December” with six; and Celine Song’s “Past Lives” with five, including Director of the Year.

While the Oscars overlooked “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig this year, she’s very much in the running at this awards show, as is Song, Haynes, and Haigh.

“Bottoms” star Ayo Edebiri, who just collected her first Emmy for “The Bear,” is nominated in two categories: “We’re Wilde About You!” Rising Star Award and Wilde Artist Award, given to “a truly groundbreaking force in entertainment.”

Five films contend in the new category of LGBTQ Non-English Language Film of the Year French film “Anatomy of a Fall,” Germany’s “Afire,” Japan’s “Monster,”and Mexico’s “Rotting in the Sun,” as well as “Cassandro,” a US film with mostly Spanish dialogue.

GALECA also hands out an award for Unsung Film of the Year, with nominations going to films that were snubbed by the Oscars, including Ava DuVernay’s “Origin,” A.V. Rockwell’s “A Thousand and One,” and “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret,” which also received a nod for supporting player Rachel McAdams.

The winner of the group’s Timeless Star career achievement honor will be named along with the other winners on Monday, Feb. 26. Previous recipients include , Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and John Waters.

The Dorian Awards will also recognize Genre Film of the Year, celebrating sci-fi, horror and fantasy movies, for the first time.
