Michelle Yeoh, Paul Mescal & Benediction receive 2022 LGBTQ Critics Dorian Award Nominations

Everything Everywhere All at Once (A24), Benediction (Roadside Attactions), 
Tár (Focus Features)

Everything Everywhere All at Once and Tár Lead the Dorian Award Nominations 


GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics today announced its 14th Dorian Film Awards nominations. The mind-bending comedy Everything Everywhere All at Once, starring Michelle Yeoh as a beleaguered, alternate reality-bouncing laundromat owner, leads with 9 nominations. Tár, the dizzyingly heady drama with Cate Blanchett as an orchestra conductor experiencing her own issues with reality, follows with 7. The cutting end-of-a-bromance tale The Banshees of Inisherin notched 5 nominations, as did the heartbreaking father-daughter drama Aftersun—including two for writer-director Charlotte Wells. 


Winners will be named February 23. And (shhh) I may be a member.
