After the unevenness of the unpredictable Golden Globes that really swerved off course this year, it’s refreshing to see a set of prestigious Awards get it spot on.
The 10th Annual DORIAN AWARDS are the gift of GALECA the 200 + strong group of Gay, Lesbian Entertainment Critics ….. and we will confess one of the reasons that we are so enthusiastic about them, is that we too are voting members. The Awards cover several of the the same categories as the Globes & Oscars but add LGBTQ ones too to recognise and celebrate work that specifically relates to our community.
So here are all the winners in their full glory ……
