GALECA’s 14th Annual Dorian Awards: ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once,’ Michelle Yeoh, Janelle Monáe among big winners

“Everything Everywhere All at Once” continues its strong awards season performance by pulling off an impressive sweep at the 14th Annual Dorian Awards. The Dorians are bestowed by GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics, a group of over 400 critics, journalists, and media icons. A24’s multiverse-jumping family drama scored seven wins, a victory in every category for which it was nominated.

“Everything Everywhere” snatched the coveted Film of the Year title, while creative duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert co-won both best director and best screenplay honors. In GALECA’s gender neutral acting races, Michelle Yeoh seized Performance of the Year and Ke Huy Quan edged out two of his costars for Supporting Performance. Though Stephanie Hsu lost the supporting race, the critics group did name her their Rising Star of the Year. The movie also won LGBTQ Film of the Year and Visually Striking Film of the Year.

Yeoh also claimed one of the group’s special accolades: Wilde Artist of the Year. The honor, named in homage to Oscar Wilde, goes to a “truly groundbreaking force in film, theater and/or television.” Previous recipients include such entertainment firebrands as Pedro Almodóvar, Todd Haynes, Kate McKinnon, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ryan Murphy, Dolly Parton, Jordan Peele and Joey Soloway.

Other prominent wins include an upset victory for “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On” in Animated Film, double wins for “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” in both Documentary and LGBTQ Documentary categories, and the anti-imperialist epic “RRR” winning the Non-English Language Film category. And though Hildur Guðnadóttir‘s thrilling score to “Tár” was deemed ineligible by the Oscar’s music branch, this group of queer journalists had no such qualms about preexisting music, and gave the composer a win for Film Music of the Year.

The big-hearted, ebullient nonbinary actor-singer Janelle Monáe, costar of last year’s popular big-screen lark “Glass Onion” (for which they received a Dorian nomination), was named LGBTQIA+ Film Trailblazer. Past Trailblazers (either film or TV) include director Isabelle Sandoval, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez and Almodóvar.

GALECA will announce the recipient of its Timeless Star career achievement honor at a later date.

In a special vote in their film ballots, GALECA’s members were asked to name an LGBTQ-themed theatrical release of 2022 that they felt deserved more attention (streaming platform releases such as Hulu’s “Fire Island” and Netflix’s “Do Revenge” were not considered but will be eligible for the next Dorian TV Awards). The group’s 10 Best Unsung LGBTQ Films of 2022, in alphabetical order: “Anais in Love,” “Benediction,” “Close,” “Firebird,” “Girl Picture,” “Great Freedom,” “Peter von Kant,” “Please Baby Please,” “Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies” and “We’re All Going to the World’s Fair.”
