Jonathan Bailey Wins Critics Choice Award For ‘Fellow Travelers’

Out actor Jonathan Bailey was honored with the Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made For Television award for his work in Fellow Travelers at the 29th Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night. Bailey began his acceptance speech with a nod to his co-star Matt Bomer and their many steamy onscreen moments: “I share this with you, Matt; those of you who have seen Fellow Travelers will know that Matt and I come together.” Bomer was nominated in the Best Actor category, but Steven Yeun took the trophy for his work in Beef. https://twitter.com/CriticsChoice/status/1746690362423570666 “For many, it’s an education, but for us, it’s a vital truth,” Bailey added acknowledging the impact of the show. “This series is a much-needed reminder that LGBTQ+ people have always existed, mostly hidden, they have always been fighting for an easier life for the generation that follows.” “So I thank those who came before me, who created a world where I can stand here today and win an award for telling their story,” he continued. “To my Fellow Travelers family, to all the people who lost their lives in the 80s and 90s, and to every LGBTQ+ person living in a bigoted community which still surrounds us, this is for you.” Watch Bailey’s acceptance speech below, and you can view all 8 episodes of Fellow Travelers on Paramount+. https://twitter.com/dilfthonyspinky/status/1746691411955552482
