‘Nomadland’ Named Best Film At Dorians Film Toast 2021

Nomadland, the spare and fact-based drama of a group of struggling Americans living off the grid; the vivid blues woman biopic Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom; the family-happy fish-out-of-water fable Minari; writer-director-actress Radha Blank and her biting showbiz satire The Forty-Year-Old Version; the death-to-misogyny revenge thriller Promising Young Woman; and the urgent human-rights documentaries Disclosure and Welcome to Chechnya all scored more than one Dorian Award from GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics via a televised special. GALECA’s Dorian Awards honor the best in all of film and TV, from mainstream to LGBTQ fare, on separate occasions. As revealed during the three-hour Dorians Film Toast 2021, shown on LGBTQ+ streaming platform Revry and hosted by famed entertainer and human rights hero Karel, Nomadland earned 3 Dorians: Best Film, Best Director for Chloé Zhao, and Most Visually Striking Film. https://www.instagram.com/p/CN1dlhKJlkJ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Minari earned Best Non-English Language Film plus a supporting actress nod for Yuh-Jung Youn. Ma Rainey’s was deemed Best LGBTQ Film by GALECA, and the musical drama’s male lead, the late Chadwick Boseman, earned Best Film Performance—Actor. https://www.instagram.com/p/CN1diICpv_P/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Promising Young Woman star Carey Mulligan, fascinatingly mischievous as a woman out to avenge the death of a female friend, and the mystery’s witty screenwriter, Emerald Fennell, both delighted with their humble acceptance videos for Best Film Performance—Actress and Best Screenplay, respectively. In homage to Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, GALECA’s Dorian “trophies” are actually small pop-art portraits of the winner (sometimes in character) or a rendering of a memorable scene from the champion title (the pieces, fashioned from an existing photo, come with an easel). https://www.instagram.com/p/CN4Dv7sJfT3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CN4DDYQpn8Y/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link COMPLETE LIST OF DORIAN FILM AWARD WINNERS (noted in bold) Best Film FIRST COW MINARI NOMADLAND PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN SOUND OF METAL Best LGBTQ Film AMMONITE THE BOYS IN THE BAND I CARRY YOU WITH ME MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM SUPERNOVA UNCLE FRANK Best Non-English Language Film ANOTHER ROUND BACURAU I CARRY YOU WITH ME LA LLORONA MINARI TWO OF US Best Director CHLOÉ ZHAO, NOMADLAND EMERALD FENNELL, PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN KELLY REICHARDT, FIRST COW LEE ISAAC CHUNG, MINARI REGINA KING, ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI Best Screenplay (original or adapted) CHLOÉ ZHAO, NOMADLAND ELIZA HITTMAN, NEVER RARELY SOMETIMES ALWAYS EMERALD FENNELL, PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN LEE ISAAC CHUNG, MINARI RADHA BLANK, THE FORTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION Best Unsung Film – Presented by Stoli® DRIVEWAYS FIRST COW THE FORTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION MISS JUNETEENTH NEVER RARELY SOMETIMES ALWAYS SHIRLEY THE ASSISTANT Best Documentary (tie) COLLECTIVE CRIP CAMP DICK JOHNSON IS DEAD DISCLOSURE TIME WELCOME TO CHECHNYA Best LGBTQ Documentary (tie) A SECRET LOVE BORN TO BE DISCLOSURE MUCHO MUCHO AMOR: THE LEGEND OF WALTER MERCADO WELCOME TO CHECHNYA Best Film Performance — Actress CAREY MULLIGAN, PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN FRANCES MCDORMAND, NOMADLAND NICOLE BEHARIE, MISS JUNETEENTH SIDNEY FLANIGAN, NEVER RARELY SOMETIMES ALWAYS VIOLA DAVIS, MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM Best Film Performance — Actor ANTHONY HOPKINS, THE FATHER CHADWICK BOSEMAN, MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM DELROY LINDO, DA 5 BLOODS RIZ AHMED, SOUND OF METAL STEVEN YEUN, MINARI Best Film Performance — SUPPORTING Actress AMANDA SEYFRIED, MANK CANDICE BERGEN, LET THEM ALL TALK MARIA BAKALOVA, BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM OLIVIA COLMAN, THE FATHER YUH-JUNG YOUN, MINARI Best Film Performance — SUPPORTING Actor CHADWICK BOSEMAN, DA 5 BLOODS DANIEL KALUUYA, JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH LESLIE ODOM JR., ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI PAUL RACI, SOUND OF METAL SACHA BARON COHEN, THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7 Most Visually Striking Film  BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN) MANK NOMADLAND SOUL WOLFWALKERS Campiest Flick BAD HAIR BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN) EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: THE STORY OF FIRE SAGA THE PROM WONDER WOMAN 1984 “We’re Wilde About You!” Rising Star Award ALAN S.
