Letocandym_2

Dallas Buyers Club, The Canyons, and James Franco nab nominations.

Recognizing the best, the campiest and the most unsung accomplishments in television and cinema, the Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association (GALECA) announced nominations for the 2013 Dorian Awards today. Award season favorites 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle and Dallas Buyers Club nabbed multiple nominations, but a few unusual candidates earned recognition.

James Franco's stint as Alien, a rapper and drug dealer in Spring Breakers, earned him nominations for both Film Performance of the Year by an actor and Wilde Artist of the Year. Guess the "Consider this Shit," campaign is starting to pay off. Just last month, Franco and Jared Leto tied for the Los Angeles Film Critics Association's Best Supporting Actor award. Leto, who plays a transgender woman afflicted by AIDS in Dallas Buyers Club, already won a Golden Globe for his performance.

Both Franco and Leto will fight it out with Leonardo DiCaprio, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Matthew McConaughey for GALECA's top acting prize for a movie actor. On the women's side, Sandra Bullock, Judi Dench, Cate Blanchett, Adele Exarchopoulos, and Lupita Nyong'o will battle it out.

The biopic Kill Your Darlings nabbed nominations for Unsung Film or the Year and LGBT Film of the Year. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, the film follows poets of the beat generation navigating through sex, murder and Columbia University.

Jessica Lange, who has already won two Dorian Awards, is up again for her work in American Horror Story. Her performance of "The Name Game," in American Horror Story: Asylum earned the legend another nomination for TV Musical Performance for the Year. Accordingly, Jane Krakowski's profound performance of the Rural Juror theme song on 30 Rock and Neil Patrick Harris' performance during the Tony Awards were also nominated.

GALECA's campy categories included nominations for Sharknado, August: Osage County, and The Canyons, starring Lindsey Lohan. This year's Timeless Award will go to newlywed Lily Tomlin for her exceptional acting career.
