GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics has finally revealed the winners of the 2024 Dorian TV Awards, celebrating the finest achievements in television and streaming platforms. HBO Max’s popular comedy series ‘Hacks’ turned out to be the biggest winner of the night and went on to win four prestigious awards, including Best TV Comedy and Best Written TV Show. Meanwhile, the show garnered another win in the acting category, with Jean Smart winning the Best TV Performance – Comedy accolade.
AMC’s ‘Interview with the Vampire’ followed closely with impressive three wins, including Best TV Drama. While FX’s ‘Shogun’ was considered the favorite in this category, it ultimately fell short of winning the top prize. On the other hand, the AMC series won two more awards – Best LGBTQ Show and Best Genre TV Show – to take its awards tally to 3. Meanwhile, Showtime/Paramount+’s series ‘Fellow Travelers’ dominated the acting categories and secured wins in Best TV Performance – Drama (Matt Bomer) and Best Supporting TV Performance – Drama (Jonathan Bailey). On the other hand, Netflix’s massively popular series ‘Baby Reindeer’ won the Best TV Movie or Limited Series accolade.
Additionally, GALECA honored several prominent figures with special awards: Salvadoran-American writer, comedian, and actor Julio Torres received the Wilde Wit Award; the GALECA TV Trailblazer Award went to acclaimed actor Alan Cumming, host of the reality show winner “The Traitors”; and legendary comedian, actress, singer, and memoirist Carol Burnett was recognized with the GALECA TV Icon Award.
