GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics honors its picks for the year’s finest in film and television, from mainstream to LGBTQ-focused, via our Dorian Awards.
GALECA members vote on the Dorian Awards in a purely democratic fashion. All members are encouraged to name their top 3 choices per category in the nominating round, then their sole choice per category in the final round.
Announced each January, the Dorians are named with a nod to the great and gay wit Oscar Wilde, of course!
