The Dorian Awards Strike a Pose with 2nd Annual TV Honors

With six nominations, the final season of FX's Pose sashays into the lead at the 2nd Annual Dorian TV Awards, presented by GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics. The Marvel Cinematic Universe's first Disney+ series WandaVision was close behind with five nominations, followed by a trio of HBO heavy hitters – I May Destroy You, It's a Sin and Mare of Easttown – with four nods each.

Saturday Night Live breakout Bowen Yang racked up an impressive four individual nominations (including two in the TV Musical Performance category), while other multiple nominees include I May Destroy You multi-tasker Michaela Coel, WandaVision's wickedly wacky scene-stealer Kathryn Hahn, HBO MVP Jean Smart (Hacks and Mare of Easttown) and The Queen's Gambit's leading lady Anya Taylor-Joy.


GALECA (of which I and fellow Movie Dearest critic Chris Carpenter are members) will reveal the winners of this year's awards for television fabulousness in a star-studded extravaganza on August 29th and you can watch it all – for free and on demand – on Revry TV.

For the full list of nominees, see the comments section below.
