GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics named the winners of its 15th Dorian TV Awards today, with high-profile hits and under-the-radar gems evenly represented. HBO’s final season of Succession, showrunner Jesse Armstrong’s merciless dissection of modern-day, quasi-fictional American Roy-alty, took best drama—and cast member Sarah Snook secured best drama performance—while best comedy went to ABC’s Abbott Elementary, star Quinta Brunson’s mockumentary following a clique of idealistic Philadelphia school teachers.
On the scrappy side, Amazon Freevee’s novel prank show Jury Duty was deemed Best Reality Show, Max’s showbiz satire The Other Two LGBTQ TV Show and HBO comedies Somebody, Somewhere and Los Espookys Unsung TV Show and Non-English Language Show, respectively. Director Andrew Ahn’s cinematic Fire Island, a clever queer spin on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice released on Hulu, scored Best TV Movie or Miniseries.
