Parasite Dominates LGBTQ Critics' Dorian Awards With Five Wins

Director Bong Joon Ho's Parasite was the big winner in the annual Dorian Awards from the Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), with five prizes, the group announced Thursday.

The South Korean class-warfare thriller was honored as the best film of the year as well as best foreign-language film. Ho received the award for best director and shared best screenplay honors with Song-Kang-ho. Han Jin-won's performance won him the award for best supporting actor.

"When director Bong Joon Ho's Parasite practically swept our awards roster with five wins, I was not surprised," said Diane Anderson-Minshall, GALECA president and editorial director of The Advocate. "The dynamic, darkly comic drama about a poor family conniving to live the good life speaks to the times we live in, with vivid commentary on class, inequity, and even climate change. Parasite is a perfect film for the Trump era."

Renee Zellweger won best film performance of the year by an actress for her portrayal of LGBTQ icon Judy Garland in Judy. The award for best film performance by an actor went to Antonio Banderas for his performance in Pedro Almodovar's semiautobiographical Pain and Glory. Jennifer Lopez's performance in Hustlers won her best supporting film performance by an actress honors.

LGBTQ icon Lady Gaga took home two awards. She was named the Wilde Artist of the Decade in a special vote, and her Oscar duet performance of "Shallow" with Bradley Cooper was honored as the television musical performance of the year. Catherine O'Hara of SCTV and Schitt's Creek fame received the group's career achievement award. Booksmart director Olivia Wilde will receive the special Wilde Artist of the Year award at the Dorian Awards Winners Toast, to be held February 2 in Los Angeles. Booksmart won the Dorian Award for unsung film of the year, while Portrait of a Lady on Fire won LGBTQ film of the year.
