Queerty have announced their nominees for The 11th anniversary Queerties.
Bianca Del Rio (a previous Drag Royalty winner) will host this year’s ceremony and says,
Grab your sequins, grab your feathers, grab your leather harnesses, and let’s be merry, Marys.”
Scott Gatz of Q.Digital, the parent company of Queerty, says,
It is the only pop culture awards show where queer people vote for the talent and creatives they feel will have the most lasting impact on the next generation of queer youth.”
Kit Connor (Heartstopper), Rebel Wilson, Noah Schnapp (Stranger Things) and Aunjanue Ellis (upcoming The Color Purple) and the Queens of Drag Race Season 14 (Kerri Colby, Bosco, Jasmine Kennedy, Kornbread, & Willow Pill) are among the stars competing in the Closet Door Bustdown category.
Trixie Mattel is nominated in three categories; Reality Docu-series, Trixie Motel, Music Video, C’mon, Loretta & Best Read, Working Girls, by Trixie & Katya.
This year’s event honors Dylan Mulvaney, an actress who documented her gender transition to her ten million followers on TikTok, and musician Rufus Wainwright. Gay music artist VINCINT will perform at the ceremony.
And what’s a queer award show without some shade? The renowned Girl, Bye prize, the category that execrates the individual most scorned by the LGBTQ+ community, will be dished out. There are SO may nominees that deserve the dishonor. *see last category below)
Nominees were selected by the editorial team at Queerty. Winners will be voted on by Queerty readers from now through February 21.
The 11th Annual Queerties Award Show are taking place February 28 in LA. See the nominees below & vote for your faves here.
