AWARDS SEASON

Continuing To Be The Year’s Most Loved Romantic Film, Weekend Wins Big At Dorian Awards

WeekendX390The Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association’s Dorian Awards are kind of like the gay version of the Oscars. So it’s no surprise the  group gave its top honors to the acclaimed gay romance Weekend, naming it both Film of the Year and LGBT Film of the Year.

Like she did at last night’s Golden Globes, perennial gay fave Meryl Streep won Film Performance of the Year for playing Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, while Michael Fassbender took home a special honor at the Dorians, the clunkily named We’re Wilde About You Rising Star of the Year.
