If the more than 400 members of GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics had their druthers, the quirky multi-versing “Everything Everywhere All at Once” would sweep up virtually all the major trophies at the upcoming Academy Awards.
The international group today, Feb. 23, unveiled its selections for the 14th Dorian Film Awards, and the A24 release “Everything Everywhere” triumphed in most categories, including best feature, best LGBTQ film, best lead performance (Michelle Yeoh), best supporting performance (Ke Huy Quan), best director(s) (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, aka the Daniels) and best screenplay (Kwan and Scheinert). It even collected the prize for Visually Striking Film of 2022. True to its title, it picked up everything all at once.
GALECA bestowed honors on other A24 Films releases, including best unsung film honors to Charlotte Wells’ exceptional father-daughter drama “Aftersun,” the Campiest Flick award to Ti West’s graphic horror gem “Pearl” and best animated feature to the delightful and poignant “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On.”
Stephanie Hsu was honored with the Rising Star Award, while “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” star Janelle Monáe received the group’s LGBTQIA+ Film Trailblazer Award.
Yeoh’s tremendous decades of work also landed her the Wilde Artist Award.
Dorians were also showered on the wild, three-hour-plus epic “RRR ” for Best International Award, as well as Laura Poitras’ searing documentary about an artist and addiction, “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,” which collected two honors.
