Todd Haynes’ “Carol,” which missed out on key nominations for best picture and best director from the Academy last week, swept the Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association’s top categories, the org announced Monday. The film won top honors for film of the year and received gongs for director Haynes, lead actress Cate Blanchett and screenplay.

 

Haynes also took the Wilde Artist of the Year Award (named for the group’s “patron saint,” Oscar Wilde), while the film was named LGBTQ Film of the Year as well. Leonardo DiCaprio won the lead actor prize for his performance in “The Revenant.”

Urgh, serious lack of competition is the problem...or an unawareness of movies out there. At no place do they even mention The Danish girl yet movies like Revenant is here. What is LGBT about these movies? Please who are these people in fact? Please I can't shout!
