The Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association (GALECA) has announced its winners for its annual Dorian Awards.

The organization is comprised of over 110 movie and TV critics nationwide. The awards are handed out to 25 different categories, which include both mainstream and LGBTQ-centric films and TV shows. Awards include everything from Rising Star to Music Video of the Year.

This year, the GALECA gave Selma‘s director Ava DuVernay the Film Director of the Year award, which is great news considering she was overlooked for an Oscar in this category.

Richard Linklater’s Boyhood was awarded the Film of the Year award.
