The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA) unveil 14th Dorian TV Awards nominations

The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics, comprised of 385 professional critics and journalists covering film and television, has announced its 14th Dorian TV Awards nominations for the best in all of TV, mainstream to LGBTQIA+ content. Leading GALECA members’ short list of TV’s best, with five nominations each, are HBO’s freshman comedy Somebody Somewhere and HBO Max’s Hacks.

HBO’s wildly provocative teen drama, Euphoria, follows with four nominations, including nods for star Zendaya, Most Visually Striking TV Show and the group’s dubious Campiest TV Show honor (alongside Apple+’s intentionally amusing musical Schmigadoon! and Netflix’s Lady Di stage tribute Diana: The Musical).

In network nomination counts, HBO tops with 24, Netflix is next with 15 and HBO Max has 13 (that’s 37 in all for HBO networks).

GALECA members were drawn to a variety of new shows this past seasons, with ABC’s welcome public school comedy Abbott Elementary, the lovely British teen dramedy Heartstopper (Netflix) and surprising dramas Yellowjackets (Showtime) and Severance (Apple TV+) all receiving multiple nods.

Helping christen GALECA’s inaugural “You Deserve An Award!” Award to a beloved TV icon are nominees Gillian Anderson, Christine Baranski, Lynda Carter, Kim Cattrall and Cassandra Peterson.

In the running for Wilde Wit: Abbott Elementary star and creator Quinta Brunson, rising comedian Joel Kim Booster (Fire Island), standup comic and TV wunderkind Jerrod Carmichael (Rothaniel), distinctly amusing actress Jennifer Coolidge and Bowen Yang, last year’s Dorian winner in the category.

And GALECA LGBTQIA+ TV Trailblazer nominees Carmichael, Margaret Cho, Russell T Davies, Kate McKinnon and Yang are all celebrated “for creating art that inspires empathy, truth and equity.”

Winners of the 14th Dorian TV Awards will be revealed Wednesday, August 17.
