The Society for LGBTQ Entertainment Journalists have released the Dorian Award nominations for the 2023-2024 TV season in twenty-four categories. As per our usual disclaimer, multiple members of TFE are in the 500-wide membership of GALECA. It's a four way tie for the leading show between AMC's interpretation of Interview with the Vampire, perennial Emmy favourites Max's Hacks and FX/Hulu's The Bear, and Netflix sensation Baby Reindeer all grabbing six nods each. FX/Hulu's remake of classic period epic Shōgun and Showtime's thrilling romantic drama Fellow Travellers were not far behind with five nods each.

Costume Designers Guild Nominations: "Top Gun" soars, "The Fabelmans" flounder

by Cláudio Alves

Worry not, "Fabelmans" fans. Mark Bridges may still get an Oscar nomination.

For the past two years, all the Oscar nominees in Best Costume Design were also recognized by the Costume Designers Guild, but that's not always the case. Indeed, in 2019, they didn't nominate three of the eventual Oscar nominees, including the winner – Jacqueline Durran for Little Women. All this to say that you should take this year's nominees with a grain of salt in terms of Oscar, especially regarding two big omissions – Mark Bridges for The Fabelmans and Sandy Powell for Living. Both designers have secured Oscar nominations with no corresponding guild support in the past – he for Joker, she for Gangs of New York, Mrs. Henderson Presents, and The Irishman. In any case, their lack of recognition proves that the industry may not be as into their films as previously anticipated. We shall see.

Emmy Ballot Reactions

By Abe Friedtanzer

John Cena in Peacemaker

Emmy ballots are here now that voting is officially open, and it’s a lot to process. I hastily flipped through nearly 400 pages of submitted performers while running between Tribeca screenings and made some notes about placements that seemed noteworthy. Some of them may have been announced before or expected, but still pique the interest. Please add your own in the comments since I'm sure we all watch different shows. I didn’t take the time to count the number of performers submitted in each category, but fortunatelyGoldDerby always does a great job of that. The short of it is that every single acting category is way up in submissions, though the typically largest category, Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, only has 434, which is not as high as the 455 from 2020. Here are some observations…
