Queer, an adaptation of author William S. Burroughs’ semi-autobiographical novel.As it turns out, Guadagnino had his team slide into Apollo’s DMs to ask him about taking a small part in the film, which he was more than happy to oblige even though he had no prior acting experience.Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.The story of American writer Lee (Daniel Craig) wasting away in Mexico City in 1950 who becomes infatuated with a younger ex-pat (Drew Starkey), Queer only momentarily shifts its focus to Apollo’s unnamed local, who catches Lee’s eye in the middle of a crowded bar.Daniel Craig sings the praises of his “beautiful” co-stars Omar Apollo & Drew Starkey.sBut, as you may have heard, the singer-songwriter still makes quite an impression with limited screen time—due in no small part to the intimate, erotic scene he shares with Craig.

film queer awards performer Actor UPS Oscar nominations: The good, the bad and the predictable
2023 was a very queer year at the movies, but you might not be able to tell that from looking at the nominations for the 96th Annual Academy Awards (aka the Oscars), which were announced early on Tuesday morning at the Motion Picture Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, Calif.It’s true there were a few significant nods included for queer actors and/or actors in queer roles, as well as for films which included queer characters or subject matter and/or the creatives behind them, and we don’t want to seem unappreciative of that progress, even if we suspect it might be due to the Academy’s new guideline that a film must meet at least two out of four standards of representation and inclusion to qualify for nomination, implemented this year for the first time; even so, it’s hard not to feel a bit like an afterthought when so many queer movies, performers and creators that stood out among the year’s crop of releases — many of which scored recognition from multiple other awards bodies — have been left out of the lineup.
