The Favourite lived up to its title with GALECA’s Dorian Award voters, who named the cheeky historical romp Film of the Year and bestowed its star, Olivia Colman, with the crown for Film Performance of the Year – Actress for her biting turn as Queen Anne. The sumptuous movie also scored Screenplay of the Year honours for its writers Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara.

Alfonso Cuarón was named Director of the Year, while his film Roma was voted Foreign Language Film of the Year. Ethan Hawke took Film Performance of the Year – Actor for his work as a priest on the verge of madness in Paul Schrader’s First Reformed. In supporting film acting categories, the winners were Regina King for If Beale Street Could Talk and Richard E. Grant for Can You Ever Forgive Me? The latter film, a dark comedy about a struggling New York writer who turns to forgery, was named GALECA’s LGBTQ Film of the Year.
