The Dorian Award for Film of the Year is one of the main categories of Dorian Awards, given annually by GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics since 2010 (the group was initially named the Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association). For the group's 2021 and 2022 awards, the category was temporarily named Best Film, mirroring the revised timelines of other film honors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Dorians go to both mainstream and LGBTQ-centric content. [1][2]
