Not too many years ago straight actors were beg praised for beg ‘brave’ for playg a sgle gay role, but then never playg an LGBT part ever aga – partly bee agents thought two gay rol would harm someone’s reer.

Now though we have people like Armie Hammer, who’s played several gay rol and is currently has two of them back to back, wh the acclaimed Cale Me By Your Name and the Stanley Tucci wrten and directed bpic Fal Portra. Lord was gay, although this was only revealed publicly his obuary after he died 2009. Although the Osr-nomated, gay-themed film, Call Me By Your Name, seems like a self-ntaed movie, director Lu Guadagno has been talkg about the possibily of turng to a seri of films, possibly ma over several s.

While other film awards have treated Call Me By You Name as the ony great gay-themed movie of the year, GALECA has highlighted others, most notably the excellent French movie, BPM (Beat Per Mute), about members of the activist AIDS anisatn ACT UP Paris the late 1980s and early 1990s. It may also not be a cince that the other nome for Bt Film also had stori that focsed on outsirs – Lady Bird (which also featur a proment gay subplot), Get Out and The Shape of Water. Nods for LGBTQ Film Of The Year went to Battle of the Sex, the excellent trans-themed Chilean drama A Fantastic Woman, and Bra’s gay farmg flick, God’s Own Country, along wh Call Me By Your Name and BPM.

However, the biggt surprise for gay film fans was BPM missg out on a Bt Foreign Language Film nomatn. It’s been a great year for gay-themed movi at the Inpennt Spir Awards – the gongs givg out shortly before the Osrs, which aowledge and celebrate those film ma by and released outsi the Hollywood stud system. It wasn’t the only gay-themed movie pickg up nomatns, as Beach Rats was nomated for Bt Cematography and Bt Male Lead for the excellent Harris Dickson.

Away om the gay ont, other films beg givg love clu Jordan Peele’s h Get Out, and Good Time, starrg Robert Pattson, which both sred five nomatns. Although ’s unlikely to bee the sort of box office h Ang Lee’s 2005 Osr-wner was, is likely to appeal to a wir dience than most gay-themed movi, partly jt due to s reputatn.
