Nice that Adam was nominated for the Dorian Awards....he just barely made the cutoff. Since it's local, guess he'll attend. Hope he wins! I was glancing thru the categories for the Grammys and Emmys and don't see any category there for best TV musical appearance. Looks like in the past they had categories that he might could fit in.... for example Grammys had a best musical performance in the gospel category......but don't see anything anymore.

Talking about awards... BR nominations discussion and predictions from The Guardian: amp.theguardian.com/film/2019/jan/04/golden-globes-2019-film-categories-who-win-favourite-star-born-wife-bohemian-widows-buster-scruggs?__twitter_impression=trueGolden Globes 2019: who will win – and who should win – the film categories
The Favourite, A Star Is Born, The Wife and Bohemian Rhapsody are likely winners for various awards on Sunday; but Widows, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Shoplifters and Roma deserve recognition too Best film (drama)The best dramas list for the Globes – to be presented on 6 January – contains something notable yet hardly noted. It puts African American-themed films in the majority: three out of five. Ryan Coogler’s colossally successful Afrofuturist Marvel superhero movie Black Panther, Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman and Barry Jenkins’s James Baldwin adaptation If Beale Street Could Talk. All three are really substantial movies, though I think Lee’s is tonally uncertain in a way that Jenkins’s and Coogler’s aren’t. It could well be that Beale Street will win, and no one would quarrel with rewarding the artistry and moral seriousness of a film-maker such as Jenkins. Bohemian Rhapsody – the story of Freddie Mercury and Queen – is a surprise entry: thoroughly enjoyable but very much all about Rami Malek’s bravura performance. But I have to say that Bradley Cooper’s richly powerful and unashamedly emotional melodrama A Star Is Born gets my support — and I suspect that of Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) voters as well. Will win: A Star Is Born Should win: A Star Is Born Shoulda been a contender: Roma Best actor (drama) Feelgood Freddie … Joe Mazzello, Ben Hardy, Rami Malek and Gwilym Lee in Bohemian Rhapsody. Photograph: Alex Bailey/AP This is a slightly conservative selection, but the inclusion of Rami Malek’s extravagant portrayal of Freddie Mercury is a shrewd move and my guess is that it will win (although gender politics is a point at issue here – singalong feelgood movies are acceptable when they are about men, but why don’t the Mamma Mia! movies get the same breaks?) John David Washington’s performance in BlacKkKlansman is impressive but the film’s quasi-Brechtian alienations and comic cartoonery arguably mean that it is more difficult to engage with his character emotionally. Willem Dafoe’s performance as Van Gogh in Julian Schnabel’s At Eternity’s Gate has all the integrity and self-possession you would expect, but it’s a rather non-envelope-pushing film. Lucas Hedges (last seen in Kenneth Lonergan’s Manchester By the Sea) stars in the gay conversion drama Boy Erased, but this might be a fish-in-a-barrel liberal issue film that will leave the HFPA unmoved. My feeling is still that Bradley Cooper’s performance is the best. Will win: Rami Malek for Bohemian RhapsodyShould win: Bradley Cooper for A Star Is Born Shoulda been a contender: Ethan Hawke for First Reformed

Oh....wouldn't it be wonderful if Rami wins! I didn't see ASIB, but assumed that Bradley Cooper would win. Maybe if they give ASIB the movie nod, and Bradley gets best director....then they just may well give the best actor award to Rami.
