LGBTQ+ critics org GALECA unveils 2024 Dorian TV Awards nominations

GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics has announced the 2024 Dorian TV Awards nominations, recognizing excellence in television and streaming across 24 categories. This 500-member organization, in its 15th year, includes critics from media outlets across the U.S. and beyond.

Leading the drama categories are AMC’s “Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire” with six nominations, and FX/Hulu’s “Shōgun” and Showtime/Paramount+’s “Fellow Travelers” with five each. 

In the comedy categories, FX/Hulu’s “The Bear,” Max’s “Hacks,” and Netflix’s “Baby Reindeer” each garnered six nominations.

“A lot of our nominated shows are focused on outcasts trying to punch through norms, and their own fears and flaws, to find peace—a not-easy road, but one our members obviously loved following,” said GALECA founder and Executive Director John Griffiths. 

New categories were added to this year’s awards, including Best Written Show, with contenders “The Bear,” “Hacks,” “Baby Reindeer,” “Fellow Travelers” and ABC’s “Abbott Elementary.”

The Dorian Awards, also honor actors across non-gendered categories, with nominees ranging from Emma Stone and Jodie Foster to rising stars like Ncuti Gatwa and Julio Torres. 

GALECA members, representing a wide array of respected media outlets, democratically select the winners for TV, film, and Broadway/Off-Broadway categories.

Winners of this year’s Dorian Awards will be announced on Aug. 12. Here is the full list of nominees.
