The Fantastic LGBTQ+ Films And Actors That Everyone Will Be Talking About During The 2022 Awards Season
the Hollywood Reporter has tabs on all the frontrunners for the limited Academy Award nominations.Since Moonlight’s Best Picture win in 2016, the film awards circuit has gotten somewhat better at highlighting the previous year's crop of queer films; however, going into 2022, there isn’t a film majorly focused on queer people in the frontrunner spot, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some queer treats awaiting their glory.The Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Oscars are considered the big three for the film awards season.
The Golden Globes, which announces their nominees earlier than the other two, often asserts itself as the first major indicator of what films we will talk about come Oscar time, while the SAG Awards often help root out who the winners will be.As of writing this, there are no SAG nominations, but the Golden Globe noms point to a slim showing for queer films on the major stage, sadly.
That being said, get ready to hear a lot about The Power of the Dog, Flee, and Parallel Mothers as the queer films with the potential to take the big prizes in their respective categories.
These queer films were nominated at the Globes for Best Picture (Drama), Best Animated Picture, and Best Picture (Non-English), respectively, and have a good chance of taking home some trophies.The Power of the Dog, directed by legendary filmmaker Jane Campion, stars Benedict Cumberbatch as a rancher who takes in his brother's family, including his effeminate nephew, and is one of the most talked about films for this year’s awards.
