These are the LGBTQ+ 2023 Oscar nominees!
The nominations for the 95th Academy Awards are here -- and many films centered around LGBTQ+ characters have been nominated for the top awards of the ceremony. Unfortunately, many of those projects didn't include LGBTQ+ leading actors, but there's still something to celebrate that queer stories are being recognized at the Oscars.
Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the 95th Academy Awards will take place on March 12, 2023 at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. The ceremony will be televised on ABC. On January 24, the official Oscar nominations were unveiled, with Everything Everywhere All at Once in the lead. Alas, other projects featuring LGBTQ+ characters and storylines have also received Oscar nods.
