DEADLINE: Sinners sets a record for most Dorian Awards from LGBTQ+ film group GALECA, of which I am a member. Weirdly, our group voted for Rose Byrne as the best performance of the year — male or female. She hasn’t been winning, and Jessie Buckley deserves every award. Plus, since the group was so high on Sinners, odd Michael B. Jordan didn’t prevail.
