The 15th annual Dorian TV Awards have selected their winners with the HBO drama “Succession” taking home Best TV Drama, ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” nabbed the Best TV Comedy award and Max’s “The Other Two” won Best LGBTQ Show.

Announced Monday by GALECA: Society of Professional LGBTQ Entertainment Journalists, “Succession” star Sarah Snook won best drama performance, while Bridget Everett took home the best comedy performance award for her role on HBO’s comedy series “Somebody Somewhere” — which also won for best unsung show.

“The White Lotus” favorite Jennifer Coolidge snagged another win for her role on the HBO series in the supporting drama performance category, while “The Bear” breakout star Ayo Edebiri won for best supporting comedy performance.

HBO and Max ended up nabbing nine wins overall, including best non-English language show for “Los Espookys.” Director Andrew Ahn’s “Fire Island,” starring Joel Kim Booster and Bowen Yang and streaming on Hulu, won for best TV movie. Shudder’s doc series “Queer for Fear: The History of Queer Horror,” won two awards for best TV documentary or documentary series and best LGBTQ documentary or documentary series.

Wanda Sykes received a special honor from the critics group: the Wilde Wit Award, which is given to “a performer, writer or commentator whose observations both challenge and amuse,” per the group. Elliot Page was named an LGTBQIA+ TV Trailblazer.
