Ariana DeBose is celebrating a win for a controversial performance…
GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics has named the winners of its 15th Dorian TV Awards, with the 32-year-old half-Puerto Rican Oscar-winning actress/singer among the honorees.
DeBose nabbed the Best TV Musical Performance trophy for her rap tribute to Angela Bassett and other nominees at the BAFTA Film Awards last March.
The performance became a meme and left DeBose in tears after being mocked on the internet.
But now her performance has earned her an award from GALECA.
GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics honors its collective picks for the finest in film, television and New York theater—mainstream to LGBTQ-themed—via its Dorian Awards.
