The 2024 Dorian Awards are setting the stage on fire and Searchlight's ‘All of Us Strangers’ is stealing the spotlight with a whopping nine nominations. But wait Warner Bros' powerhouse ‘Barbie’ is not far behind, flexing its muscles with seven nods. Netflix's ‘May December’ is in the race with six nominations, closely trailed by A24's ‘Past Lives’ with five and Searchlight's ‘Poor Things’ with four.
It's a cinematic showdown as these five heavyweights gear up to compete for the prestigious 'Best Film of the Year' prize, courtesy of GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics.
‘All of Us Strangers’ is locking horns with MGM's ‘Bottoms,’ Mubi/SBS' ‘Passages,’ Netflix's ‘Rustin’ and Amazon MGM's ‘Saltburn’ in the battle for LGBTQ 'Film of the Year.'
'The Director of the Year' category is no less intense, featuring the likes of Oscar-snubbed ‘Barbie’ director Greta Gerwig, Andrew Haigh (‘All of Us Strangers’), Todd Haynes (‘May December’), Christopher Nolan (‘Oppenheimer’) and Celine Song (‘Past Lives’).
