GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics today announced its Dorian TV Award nominations for the best in television and streaming where HBO’s apocalyptic drama The Last of Us topped the list with eight nominations, including Best TV Drama, where it faces the same network’s duo of eat the rich parables Succession and The White Lotus, Showtime’s regretful cannibals opus Yellowjackets, and AMC’s fang-banging series version of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire.
Somebody Somewhere, HBO’s poignant comedy about a single Kansas woman and friends navigating the questions of life, notched six nominations, including Best TV Comedy, Best LGBTQ TV Show and Best Unsung Show. Last year’s Dorian winner in that category, Abbott Elementary, chalked up four nods from GALECA, a national group of over 480 professional journalists writing on entertainment for some of the most respected media outlets in the world.
Best LGBTQ Series nominees, which pulls from drama, comedy and limited series, are Interview with the Vampire, The Last of Us, A League of Their Own, The Other Two and Somebody Somewhere.
Succession siblings Sarah Snook and Kieran Culkin, plus Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey of The Last of Us, will go up against past Dorian winner Melanie Lynskey of Yellowjackets for Best TV Performance—Drama. The comedy lead category is comprised entirely of female-identifying actors with Poker Face star and creator Natasha Lyonne, Ali Wong of Netflix’s road-rage tale Beef, Rachel Brosnahan for the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Somebody Somewhere hero Bridget Everett, and Quinta Brunson, star and creator of Abbott Elementary. Brunson is also among GALECA’s latest nominees for its special Wilde Wit award, along with Joel Kim Booster, Lizzo, Wanda Sykes and previous winner Bowen Yang.
Other trademark Dorian Awards categories include Visually Striking Show—Disney+’s Star Wars spinoff Andor, Amazon’s Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power are in the mix there—and Campiest TV Show. Pulling the proverbial wigs off in the latter race: Dead Ringers, Eurovision Song Contest,Hocus Pocus 2, Schmigadoon!, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and Netflix’s cheeky-kooky Wednesday.
