The director of Fire Island has addressed the idea of a potential sequel.

Back in 2022, LGBTQ+ movie enthusiasts were treated to the queer Pride and Prejudice retelling/rom-com starring Joel Kim Booster, Bowen Yang, Matt Rogers, Tomas Matos and Zane Phillips.

The film, which is currently streaming on Hulu in the US and Disney+ in the UK, follows two best friends – Noah (Booster) and Howie (Yang) – as they embark on their annual weeklong vacation to the titular gay hotspot.

Upon release, fans and critics praised the Andrew Ahn-directed comedy for centring the queer Asian-American experience and for exploring issues such as body image, wealth and race, as well as its celebration of LGBTQ+ culture.

As the Lydia Bennett-based Luke, Rogers memorably went viral for his scene with Keegan (Matos) in which the breakout duo pay homage to Marisa Tomei and her Oscar-winning role in My Cousin Vinny.

Over the last few years, Fire Island fans (including us) have called on the cast and crew to return for a sequel.

While nothing has been officially greenlit, Ahn recently revealed to Entertainment Weekly that he and Booster mulled around the idea of a potential follow-up.

“There’s always been conversation about doing a sequel,” he told the news outlet. “I don’t know if a real concrete idea has been formed yet, but there are things in the ether.”

Towards the end of his statement, Ahn revealed that Booster “always jokes” that a Fire Island sequel would be like the hit Sex and the City reboot And Just Like That, adding: “Where it’s 30 years later, and they’re older and gayer. We’ll see what happens.”

Ahn isn’t the only one who has talked about a potential Fire Island sequel.

In a 2023 interview with GAY TIMES, Matt Rogers said there were “immediate” conversations about a follow-up film after the release of the gaycation comedy.

The Las Culturistas podcast co-host added that “there was some talk” about the sequel taking place in Provincetown and focusing on the nuptials of Howie and Charlie, where they would “run into the characters that were from the first movie”.

“It would be a really interesting continuation,” explained Rogers. “The truth is, you do pull away from the dock, watch them dance, and you do wanna know what’s next.

“That is, I think, a compliment to the ensemble and the wonderful script. You do fall in love with the characters by the end. More than just the characters, their group dynamic was worth following.”

Booster also shared his two cents on a Fire Island sequel in a separate interview with GAY TIMES in 2022.

“While I don’t know that I necessarily feel all the way inspired to write another gay vacation movie at this time, I would definitely do anything to work with this cast again,” he said. 

“Maybe what will happen is I’ll do an And Just Like That… sort of style film in 20 years from now. We’ll all return to Fire Island, and we’ll see where these characters are in 20 years.”

While the future of the Fire Island universe remains uncertain, Ahn is blessing LGBTQIA+ movie enthusiasts with other pieces of queer-led media.

On 18 April, the acclaimed director’s new film, The Wedding Banquet, will hit theatres in the US.

A remake of the 1993 classic of the same name, the upcoming rom-com follows lesbian couple Angela (Kelly Tran) and Lee (Lily Gladstone), who are trying to have a baby via IVF but can’t afford a third round of fertility treatment.

Min (Gi-chan, in his English-language debut), their friend, is the “closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire,” meaning he has “plenty of family money, but a soon-to-expire student visa.”

After his boyfriend, the commitment-averse Chris (Yang), turns down his marriage proposal, Min decides to arrange a green-card marriage with Angela, offering to fund Lee’s IVF in exchange.

Check out the full trailer for The Wedding Banquet below.

The first trailer has arrived for The Wedding Banquet, starring queer icons Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone and Kelly Marie Tran.

A remake of the 1993 classic of the same name, the upcoming rom-com follows lesbian couple Angela (Tran) and Lee (Gladstone), who are trying to have a baby via IVF but can’t afford a third round of fertility treatment.

Min (Gi-chan, in his English-language debut), their friend, is the “closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire,” meaning he has “plenty of family money, but a soon-to-expire student visa.”

After his boyfriend, the commitment-averse Chris (Yang), turns down his marriage proposal, Min decides to arrange a green-card marriage with Angela, offering to fund Lee’s IVF in exchange.

Their quiet plan to elope is thrown into chaos when Min’s grandmother (Oscar winning Minari star Youn Yuh-jung) arrives from Korea to meet her future granddaughter-in-law and insists on hosting an extravagant wedding celebration.

The Wedding Banquet was directed by Andrew Ahn, the visionary behind Fire Island (2022), which has been hailed as one of the best LGBTQIA+ films of the decade. (Yang also memorably starred in the rom-com as Howie.)

Ahn co-wrote the script with James Schamus, who was nominated for an Oscar for his screenplay for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and won a BAFTA for producing Brokeback Mountain (2005).

In the first trailer for The Wedding Banquet, Angela, Lee and Chris “de-queer the house” as Min returns from the airport with his grandmother, Angela’s ally mother laments her daughter’s decision to marry a man and Chris comments on the ‘absurdity’ of their situation.

The Wedding Banquet premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. It will receive a theatrical release in the U.S. on 18 April. Watch the trailer here or below!

Raya and the Last Dragon star Kelly Marie Tran has publicly come out as queer.

The 35-year-old talent announced the exciting news during a recent Vanity Fair feature for her film The Wedding Banquet – which is a remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 queer romantic comedy of the same name.  

“I haven’t said this publicly yet, but I’m a queer person,” she exclaimed.

Tran went on to gush about the upcoming Andrew Ahn-directed project and how portraying her gay character didn’t feel like acting.

“The thing that excited me about it was I got to play a person that I felt like I knew. I don’t feel like I’m acting at all in this movie,” she continued.

“I’m here doing this amazing movie with these amazing people. I’ve never been in a queer space before. I’ve never truly felt this accepted.”

Taking place in Seattle, Washington, The Wedding Banquet remake follows Angela (Tran) and her girlfriend Lee (Lily Gladstone), who are trying to have a baby through IVF, and their best friends Chris (Bowen Yang) and Min (Han Gi-chan), who live in the former couple’s guest house. 

Similar to its predecessor, the film features a faux wedding plan, with Min and Angela agreeing to walk down the aisle to appease the former’s conservative Korean parents and secure a green card. At the same time, Angela intends to use the opportunity to raise money for IVF treatments.

Elsewhere in her interview, Tran revealed that she and Angela shared similar life moments – especially regarding the character’s coming out journey with her mother, played by Minari star Joan Chen.

“I came out to my mom in a very specific experience. The scenes that I have with Joan Chen in this movie are very similar to the experience that I had,” she explained.

Before publicly coming out as queer, Tran had consistently used her platform to support the LGBTQIA+ community.

Following the release of Raya and the Last Dragon, she affirmed fans who theorized that the title character is queer.

“I think if you’re a person watching this movie and you see representation in a way that feels really real and authentic to you, then it is real and authentic,” she told Vanity Fair. “I think it might get me in trouble for saying that, but whatever.”

Tran also expressed her hopes for more LGBTQIA+ representation in future Disney projects, stating: “There’s a lot of work to be done in that respect. I’d love to see a Disney warrior who – I don’t know, can I say this without getting in trouble? I don’t care – is openly in the LGBTQ+ community.”

Ahn’s The Wedding Banquet remake is set for release in 2025.

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences are in their queer era (finally!).

On Wednesday (17 July), nominations for the upcoming 76th Primetime Emmy Awards were unveiled, and its absolutely dominated by LGBTQIA+ actors and stories. Seriously, there’s a lot of rainbow rep here.

First of all, ‘Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie’ is stacked with queer talent, with four out of five nominees identifying as part of the LGBTQIA+ community: Matt Bomer (Fellow Travelers), Richard Gadd (Baby Reindeer), Tom Hollander (Feud: Capote vs. The Swans) and Andrew Scott (Ripley). They join Jon Hamm (Fargo), who is repping for the heterosexuals.

In a statement, Bomer highlighted the significance of “two out actors” in a queer love story being nominated, saying it was “profoundly moving to me”.

Baby Reindeer, Richard Gadd’s lauded Netflix series about his experiences with sexual assault, received seven nominations including the aforementioned category and three additional for acting: Tom Goodman-Hill, Jessica Gunning and Nava Mau.

With her nomination, Mau makes history as the first trans actress to be nominated for ‘Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie’.

Following the announcement, Mau told Deadline that she’d been crying for 45 minutes with “overwhelming joy”.

“For trans actors we just don’t get a lot of opportunities to develop our craft, grow as artists, and to be recognized for all that we are and all that we can be,” she shared.

“It has been a priceless experience being a part of this show. Every step of the way, I could feel the way the experience was transforming me, my life, and what feels possible.

“To be recognized by my peers in the Academy is a celebration of that transformation.”

As well as Scott’s performance as the title character in Ripley, which marks his second nomination, the Netflix series has been nominated for ‘Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series’, in addition to three more for directing, writing and Dakota Fanning for Supporting Actress.

While there was significant uproar over Fellow Travelers’ snub in the ‘Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series’ category, Jonathan Bailey earned his first-ever nomination in ‘Supporting Actor’, while creator Ron Nyswaner was recognised for his writing.

Bailey said the nomination “is beyond measure”: “It is not lost on me that this sort of recognition is rare. I’ve grown up savoring the minimal queer television and film on offer whilst battling problematic media and societal criticism of queer life.

“I have loved so many award winning dramatic performances of gay characters but for Matt and I to be nominated together as gay actors feels like the sort of progress that would have made the world an easier place to grow up in.”

“For that I am grateful and so unbelievably proud. Thank you to the TV Academy for this opportunity,” he concluded, before commending the cast and crew of Fellow Travelers. 

For its third acclaimed season, Max’s comedy series Hacks landed six nods including ‘Outstanding Comedy Series’ and a third consecutive nomination for Hannah Einbinder in ‘Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series’.

As always, RuPaul’s Drag Race has been nominated for ‘Outstanding Reality Competition Program’, where it faces stiff competition from The Amazing Race, Top Chef, The Voice and – we reckon this will be the one to beat – The Traitors. 

Additional queer actors with acting noms are as follows: Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), Jodie Foster (True Detective: Night Country), Holland Taylor (The Morning Show), Lily Gladstone (Under the Bridge) and Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live).

Over at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which features awards for artistic, technical and animated achievements, Prime Video’s instant LGBTQIA+ classic Red, White & Royal Blue has been nominated for ‘Outstanding Television Movie’.

For her role in Prime’s action-comedy series Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Sarah Paulson is up for ‘Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series’.

RuPaul is eyeing her ninth consecutive award for ‘Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program’, where she will face off against Alan Cumming (The Traitors), Kristen Kish (Top Chef), Jeff Probst (Survivor) and the six hosts of Shark Tank. 

Baby Reindeer, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked, Hacks, Queer Eye, Ripley, We’re Here and What We Do In The Shadows are among the queer projects that have landed further technical awards, from production design to casting and picture editing.

The post With the 2024 nominations, the Emmy Awards has never been queerer appeared first on GAY TIMES.

Lily Gladstone has clarified that she is “not Two Spirit” and uses non-binary pronouns.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, user @asdza_tlehonaei, who is Two Spirit, highlighted how there has been confusion as to whether Gladstone belongs to the community.

“Ya’ll took some words they said and [white flag emoji] academic’d it to mean Two Spirit,” she wrote. “That’s not how reclaiming Two Spirit works.”

Gladstone reshared her post, telling their followers that the user is “absolutely right” and “wasn’t aware” of the conversation, “but I found what she’s talking about and it bothers me too”.

“Two Spirit is not a catch all term for [rainbow emoji]; it’s way more specific and it’s a term that originates with Diné. I’m not Two Spirit: I use nonbinary pronouns,” said Gladstone, who was raised on the Blackfeet Reservation and is of Piegan Blackfeet, Nez Perce and European heritage.

In an interview with PEOPLE, the star explained that she’s comfortable with both “she” and “they” pronouns.

“I remember being 9 years old and just being a little disheartened, seeing how often a lot of my boy cousins were misgendered because they wore their hair long,” shared Gladstone.

“It happens to a lot of kids, I think, especially Native boys leaving a community where long hair is celebrated [and then] just kind of getting teased for it. So I remember back then being like, everybody should just be they.

She’s absolutely right. I wasn’t aware of this but I found what she’s talking about and it bothers me too.
Two Spirit is not a catch all term for 🌈; it’s way more specific and it’s a term that originates with Diné. I’m not Two Spirit: I use nonbinary pronouns. https://t.co/B5zmVb9KjT

— Lily Gladstone (@lily_gladstone) May 9, 2024

“And in most Native languages, most Indigenous languages, Blackfeet included, there are no gendered pronouns. There is no he/she, there’s only they.”

Gladstone continued to highlight the lack of gendered pronouns within Blackfeet, and how their gender is “implied” in their name: “But even that’s not binary”.

After sharing how their grandfather’s Blackfeet name meant “Iron Woman” and that “lots of women historically and still now” are given men’s names, Gladstone said their use of pronouns is their way of “decolonizing gender”.

Additionally, she said that when she’s “in a group of ladies, I know that I’m a little bit different”, whereas in a man’s space, “I don’t feel [masculine] at all. I feel probably more feminine when I’m around other men.”

Gladstone memorably shot to fame last year in Martin Scorsese’s lauded crime drama Killers of the Flower Moon, also starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro.

As Mollie Kyle, an Osage woman who survived the Osage Indian murders, Gladstone become the first Native American in history to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress (Drama) and be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

They are set to appear in the upcoming Apple TV+ drama Fancy Dance as Jax, a queer woman who cares for her niece Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson) by “scraping by on the Seneca-Cayuga reservation in Oklahoma”.⁠

The official synopsis reads: “Every spare minute goes into finding her missing sister while also helping Roki prepare for an upcoming powwow.”⁠

Fancy Dance had its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, where it received universal critical acclaim. It will have a limited released on 21 June 2024, before streaming on Apple TV+ on 28 June.⁠

From Barbie to Rustin, the nominations for the 96th Academy Awards feature several queer (and queer-adjacent) films from over the past year. As per, there are some major snubs.

The nominations were announced on 23 January by Joker star Zazie Beetz and The Boys lead actor Jack Quaid. Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on 10 March.

As expected, the cultural phenomenon of ‘Barbenheimer’ – consisting of blockbusters Barbie and Oppenheimer – proved to be a favourite with the Academy, respectively earning eight and 13 nominations each.

There are a few surprises, however, with Ryan Gosling earning a nod for Best Supporting Actor while Barbie’s lead actress and director, Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig, were snubbed. (The movie’s feminist message was lost on some, huh?)

Excitingly, Ugly Betty icon America Ferrera has received her first-ever nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film. As Gloria, the character delivers one of Barbie‘s most memorable sequences with a powerful monologue about the various injustices faced by women in a male-dominated world.

Billie Eilish’s existential, chart-topping ballad ‘What Was I Made For?’ is up for Best Original Song, as well as ‘I’m Just Ken’, performed by Gosling. Although it was nominated for the Golden Globe, Dua Lipa missed out with Barbie’s disco banger ‘Dance the Night’.

The two other major contenders are Yargo Lanthimos’ surreal comedy Poor Things with 11 nominations – including Best Actress for Emma Stone – and Martin Scorsese’s Western drama Killers of the Flower Moon with ten.

For his celebrated performance as gay and civil rights leader Bayard Rustin in Netflix’s biopic, Euphoria star Colmon Domingo is a first-time nominee for Actor in a Leading Role, where he faces stiff competition from Bradley Cooper, Paul Giamatti, Cillian Murphy and Jeffrey Wright.

Sterling K. Brown is also a first timer for his role as Clifford “Cliff” Ellison, a gay man, in American Fiction. 

Annette Bening has received her fourth Oscar nomination for Best Leading Actress (and fifth overall) for her portrayal of lesbian long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad in Nyad, while her co-star Jodie Foster is up for Best Supporting Actress.

Also in the Leading Actress category is Lily Gladstone for Killers of the Flower Moon, making history in the process as the first Indigenous woman to be nominated for the award. The star, who goes by she/they pronouns, previously became the first Indigenous woman to win an acting Golden Globe.

The Color Purple received a sole nomination for Best Supporting Actress (Danielle Brooks).

The lauded musical drama, the second adaptation of Alice Walker’s beloved novel of the same name, was praised for being a more faithful adaptation by depicting the queer romance between Fantasia Barrino and Taraji P. Henson’s characters, Ceile and Shug. Neither actress earned a nomination.

The remainder of the nominations were pretty expected, although we were hoping Trace Lysette would sneak in for her career-defining performance in Monica. Also starring Patricia Clarkson and Emily Browning, the drama follows the titular character, a trans woman, as she returns home to care for her dying mother.

Kokomo City, Lena Waithe’s documentary exploring Black trans women and their experiences as sex workers in New York and Georgia, also lost out on ‘Best Documentary Feature’.

Despite being one of the most acclaimed films of the past year, All of Us Strangers was entirely ignored – including Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal’s performances – as was Emerald Fennell’s homoerotic thriller Saltburn.

The post Oscars 2024: Here are the major LGBTQ+ nominations (and snubs) appeared first on GAY TIMES.

Although the 81st Golden Globe Awards may have failed to deliver on wins for queer storylines, there were still plenty of LGBTQIA+ moments to celebrate.

Taking place on 7 January at the Beverly Hilton, the ceremony was broadcast over three hours.

The night featured appearances from Euphoria’s Hunter Schafer, who took on presenting duties alongside This Is Us star Justin Hartley to present the award for Best Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Television Motion Picture.

The Golden Globes saw a mini reunion between the cast of Fellow Travelers and All of us Strangers with a twinning moment between Andrew Scott and Jonathan Bailey both in white ensembles. Bailey opted for Givenchy, whilst Scott scored in Valentino.

Fans were quick to react with Bailey trending as a hash tag on X (formerly Twitter): “Jonathan Bailey I wasn’t aware of your game I’m so sorry.”

Another added: “I just want to thank Jonathan Bailey’s parents for creating the most perfect man to ever grace this planet.”

‘What I Was Made For’ by Billie Eilish, from the Barbie soundtrack, was the winner of Best Song in a Motion Picture. The singer co-wrote the ballad with her frequent collaborator (and brother) Finneas O’Connell.

“What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish O'Connell and Finneas O'Connell is the winner of Best Song – Motion Picture! 🎵✨ #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/5L89Wgis6L

Ayo Edebiri won Best Television Female Actor in a Musical / Comedy series for The Bear, Lily Gladstone won Best Female Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for Killers of the Flower Moon, and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie was the inaugural winner of the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.

There were two big winners on the night with Oppenheimer and Succession scoring multiple wins including Best Drama TV Series.

Major nominations from LGBTQIA+ projects failed to convert into wins. One fan wrote: “Soo the Golden Globes snubbed Fellow Travelers, All of Us Strangers, Rustin, Matt Bomer, AND Colman Domingo. Queer stories just don’t matter to Hollywood, even in 2024.”

The awards have previously come under scrutiny for their lack of diversity. In 2021, a Los Angeles Times expose discovered that organisers of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) had no Black members voting for awards.

Alongside the announcement of nominees, it was revealed that nominations were created under new leadership with a voting body of 300 individuals from 75 different countries.

Fans were quick to react with an outpouring of support to the projects.

One fan said: “Shoutout to The Last of Us for being one of the absolute greatest video game to screen adaptations I have ever seen. That show… gosh, brilliant. It was so well casted and so well acted. Visually appealing and so beautiful. It was a tough category to win.”

Late to tune into the Golden Globes this year but no surprises this year. Gonna be hard to beat out Oppenheimer but Colman and Barry were brilliant in Rustin and Saltburn. And Leo played the hell out of his role in Flower Moon too. Stacked card this year.

Cillian was the obvious choice but my GOD is Andrew Scott fucking phenomenal in All of Us Strangers #GoldenGlobes

— Dean Thompson (@dpthompson13) January 8, 2024

Listen I was rooting for Colman for his role in Rustin but sheesh that Barry Keoghan(Oliver ) in Saltburn needs to take home something?!!#GoldenGlobes

— 👑T.Bone Garris (@TanyaBonique) January 8, 2024

Snooze , should have been Andrew Scott, All of Us Strangers is the most superb and sublimely beautiful film and performance of the year #GoldenGlobes

— Curtis Jensen (@curtisjunk) January 8, 2024

The Golden Globes just makes me sad at this point, give some respect to The Last Of Us every part of that show was phenomenal

I loved Succession so much, but The Last of Us' first season was so well done, and they didn't get anything for it, and I hate that. #GoldenGlobes

It’s so annoying to see Last of Us shut out when it was literally a perfect season of television #GoldenGlobes

Shoutout to The Last of Us for being one of the absolute greatest video game to screen adaptations I have ever seen. That show…gosh, brilliant. It was so well casted and so well acted. Visually appealing and so beautiful. It was in a tough category to win. #GoldenGlobes

The post Golden Globes: From Jonathan Bailey to Barbie, here’s how viewers responded to the gay moments appeared first on GAY TIMES.

Attention! The full list for the 2024 Golden Globes awards has been announced, with LGBTQIA+ actors and projects represented across a number of categories.

For his performance as Adam in All of Us Strangers, Andrew Scott has received his first film Golden Globes nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Drama Motion Picture. Up against Scott, Barry Keoghan and Colman Domingo have received nominations in the same category for their roles as Oliver Quick in Saltburn and Rustin in Rustin, respectively.

Matt Bomer has also received a nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for his role as Hawkins ‘Hawk’ Fuller’ in Fellow Travelers.

The Last of Us received three nominations including Best Drama TV series, Best Performance by a Male Actor in TV for Pedro Pascal, and Best Performance by a Female Actor in TV for Bella Ramsey, despite the young actor identifying as non-binary.

Elsewhere, Netflix’s NYAD received two nominations. The biopic of long distance lesbian swimmer Diana Nyad with Annette Bening in the title role and Jodie Foster playing Nyad’s coach, saw both receive acting nominations; Bening for Best Female Actor in a Drama Film and Foster for Best Female Supporting Actor.

Arguably the film of the summer, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, scored nine nominations, the highest followed by their viewing rival, Oppenheimer with eight nominations. Barbie received nominations in multiple different categories, including Best Comedy Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Original song (‘Dance the Night Away’, ‘I’m Just Ken’ and ‘What Was I Made For’).

The awards show will also include two new categories, one for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement in Motion Pictures. The former saw LGBTQ+ trailblazer and comedian Wanda Sykes nominated.

With the awards having previously come under scrutiny for their lack of diversity, this year’s nominations were created under new leadership with a voting body of 300 individuals from 75 different countries.

The winners will be announced at the 81st ceremony on 7 January 2024 from the Beverly Hilton, with the three hour ceremony available to watch on CBS and streamed on Paramount+ and available on the CBS app.
