"All of Us Strangers" Leads Dorian Film Awards Nominations

On Monday the nominees for the 15th annual Dorian Film Awards were announced. Voted on by the Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics, the awards are named after the title character in Oscar Wilde's 1890 novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray." The organization includes hundreds of professional journalists who cover television, film, and theater for media outlets around the world.

Andrew Haigh's fantasy romance "All of Us Strangers" earned nine nominations, including Film of the Year, LGBTQ Film of the Year, and Director of the Year. Also in the running for Film of the Year are "Barbie," "May December," "Past Lives," and "Poor Things." LBGTQ Film of the Year nominees include "Bottoms," "Passages," "Rustin," and "Saltburn."

Though she was snubbed by the Academy, "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig did earn a nod for Director of the Year at the Dorians. She will compete with Haigh, "May December" director Todd Haynes, "Oppenheimer" director Christopher Nolan, and "Past Lives" director Celine Song.

Unlike many awards shows that separate categories by gender, the Dorians instead nominate 10 performers for Film Performance of the Year, and 10 performers for Supporting Film Performance of the Year. Nominees for Film Performance of the Year include Paul Giamatti for "The Holdovers" and Cillian Murphy for "Oppenheimer." Both actors have both won Golden Globes this year and are seen as the frontrunners for the Oscars. Fellow Oscar nominee Colman Domingo of "Rustin" is also in the running. Recent Golden Globe winners Lily Gladstone of "Killers of the Flower Moon" and Emma Stone of "Poor Things" will compete in this category as well. In the supporting category, Oscar favorites Robert Downey Jr., of "Oppenheimer" and Da'Vine Joy Randolph of "The Holdovers" will square off.

The Dorians include less traditional categories, like Campiest Flick with contenders "Barbie," "Bottoms," "Dicks: The Musical," "M3GAN," and "Saltburn." The organization will also hand out its "We're Wilde About You!" Rising Star Award to either Lily Gladstone, Ayo Edebiri of "Bottoms," Jacob Elordi of "Saltburn," Charles Melton of "May December," or Dominic Sessa of "The Holdovers."

Another coveted award is the GALECA LGBTQIA+ Film Trailblazer Award, which will go to either Colman Domingo, Jodie Foster, Andrew Haigh, Todd Haynes, or Andrew Scott.

Winners will be announced on Monday, Feb. 26. The full list of nominees can be found here Congrats to all nominees!
