In all, the nominees in 21 categories represent GALECA’s choices for the finest in 2013’s film and television accessible in the U.S., across a variety of categories, from general to LGBT-centric.

GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA.org) comprised of nearly 200 critics and journalists in the US, Canada and UK, today released its ninth annual Dorian Award nominations for the year’s finest in film and TV.

“Call Me FROM YOUR Name” reigns with nine nominations, you start with Film of the Year. Earning both best professional and rising celebrity nods: Timothée Chalamet, who takes on the film’s teenager protagonist besotted by 20-something Armie Hammer, who received a nomination for best supporting actor.

“THE FORM of Drinking water,” director Guillermo del Toro’s fantastical love tale coupling a woman and a creature plucked from the Amazon River landed seven nominations. On the other hand, the horrors-of-racism crisis “Get Out” gained six nominations, four for writer/director Jordan Peele only (in addition to helming and screenplay nods, he’s up for “Wilde Wit” and “Wilde Designer” kudos).

Also ranking high with GALECA members: Margot Robbie, a nominee for Film Performance of the Year – Actress for her gritty turn, twist and twirl as ice-blooded figure-skater Tonya Harding in “I, Tonya.” Joining Robbie in the ring is Chilean actress Daniela Vega for her are a transgender waitress dealing with loss and indignities in “A Fantastic Woman.”

As for epics, Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” didn’t get a best film nomination, but Nolan made GALECA’s Director of the Year shortlist – and the WWII epic is also up for Visually Striking Film of the Year alongside the likes of “Edge Runner 2049.” On the other hand, “BPM (Beats Per Minute),” French director Robin Campillo’s dramatic accounts of friends facing the Helps epidemic in 1990s France, have scored an impressive five nominations, from Foreign Language Film of the Year to Unsung Film.

In TV categories, awards-season darlings “Big Little Lies,” “Feud” and “The Crown” – as well as women surnamed Kidman, Witherspoon, Foy and Lange – obviously delighted GALECA members as well. The male professional race carries a handful of nice surprises: Kyle MacLachlan for “Twin Peaks: The Return” and Jonathan Groff for Netflix’s droll criminal offense thriller “Mindhunter.” Other shows getting some love include Hulu’s departing “Difficult People,” Netflix’s series version of “Dear White People” and Starz’s electric and provocative dream “American Gods.”

And, for TV Musical Performance of the entire year, Lady Gaga, Green, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” favorite Sasha Velour and comic John Mulaney all compete against Kate McKinnon’s Broadway-worthy sendup of Kellyanne Conway on “Sunday Evening Live.”

The final Dorian verdicts, including GALECA’s latest pick for Timeless Superstar (a profession achievement honor), will be announced Wednesday, January 31. Then, on Saturday afternoon, Feb 24, the group will collect to celebrate a few of the winners at its annual, personal Winners Toast in Los Angeles.
