There was more good news for All Of Us Strangers last night as it topped the Dorian Award nominations with nine, adding to the momentum which it has built up over the course of the season. Barbie picked up seven, including a Best Director nomination for Greta Gerwig, whom many fans felt had been unfairly ignored elsewhere. It was a good night for smaller films, with the likes of Monica and Bottoms also getting some attention.
