GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics, the second-largest entertainment journalists’ organization in the world, today announced the group’s 2026 Dorian Film Award nominations for the best films of last year, celebrating both LGBTQ-led and mainstream films.

With a total of nine nominations, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another takes the lead, with Ryan Coogler’s Sinners coming in with eight. Both of which are up for Film of the Year.

Unlike other awards, GALECA celebrates all with gender-neutral categories for best performances. For Film Performance of the Year has the following nominees: Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme), Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Michael B. Jordan (Sinners), Dylan O’Brien, (Twinless), Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value), Amanda Seyfried (The Testament of Ann Lee), and Tessa Thompson (Hedda). Supporting Film Performance of the Year nominees include Benicio del Toro (One Battle After Another), Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein), Ariana Grande-Butera (Wicked: For Good), Nina Hoss (Hedda), Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (Sentimental Value), Amy Madigan (Weapons), Wunmi Mosaku (Sinners), Sean Penn (One Battle After Another), Stellan Skarsgård (Sentimental Value), and Teyana Taylor (One Battle After Another).

The Dorian Film Awards also honors lesser-celebrated (that do deserve their flowers) films, including the dramas Pillion, Twinless, and Sorry, Baby – both of which are up for LGBTQ Film of the Year. International films celebrating LGBTQ stories, including love stories from Vietnam (Viet and Nam) and Denmark (Sauna). The group also loves a good campy film, which deserves some love in their Campiest Flick category.

As for special honors for individuals, GALECA’s Rising Star of the Year celebrates newcomers like Sinners’ Miles Caton and One Battle After Another’s Chase Infiniti. As an homage to iconic disruptor Oscar Wilde, Sinners’ director Ryan Coogler, Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo, Eddington’s Pedro Pascal, Broadway’s Jinkx Monsoon, and Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi are among those nominated for the Wilde Artist Award. Of course, the organization honors its LGBTQ+ Film Trailblazer who creates art that inspires empathy, truth, and equity. Indie director Gregg Araki, actress-director Kristen Stewart, and actors Jonathan Bailey, Tessa Thompson, and Eva Victor have been nominated for the award.

“Across genres and borders, LGBTQ filmmakers and performers are telling stories that are bold, personal, and adventurous—often in the face of cultural resistance,” Gerrick Kennedy, GALECA Vice President, said in a press release. “GALECA is proud to honor a class of nominees that don’t just reflect the moment, but challenge and expand it.”

The Timeless Star Award is GALECA’s Career Achievement Award, honoring one special artist with “an exemplary career marked by character, wisdom, and wit.” Previous winners include Jodie Foster, Ian McKellen, Demi Moore, and Jane Fonda.

Winners will be announced at this year’s Dorian Film Toast on March 3 in Los Angeles, the first in-person event since 2020.

Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade Set for December 3 Mainnet Launch, Blob Capacity to Double

Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade Set for December 3 Mainnet Launch, Blob Capacity to Double

Ethereum developers confirmed the Fusaka upgrade will activate on mainnet on December 3, 2025, following a systematic testnet rollout beginning on October 1 on Holesky. The major hard fork will implement around 11-12 Ethereum Improvement Proposals targeting scalability, node efficiency, and data availability improvements without adding new user-facing features. According to Christine Kim, the upgrade introduces a phased blob capacity expansion through Blob Parameter Only forks occurring two weeks after Fusaka activation. Initially maintaining current blob limits of 6/9 target/max, the first BPO fork will increase capacity to 10/15 blobs one week later. A second BPO fork will further expand limits to 14/21 blobs, more than doubling total capacity within two weeks. Strategic Infrastructure Overhaul Fusaka prioritizes backend protocol improvements over user-facing features, focusing on making Ethereum faster and less resource-intensive. The upgrade includes PeerDAS implementation through EIP-7594, allowing validator nodes to verify data by sampling small pieces rather than downloading entire blobs. This reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while enhancing Layer 2 rollup scalability. The upgrade builds on recent gas limit increases from 30 million to 45 million gas, with ongoing discussions for further expansion. EIP-7935 proposes increasing limits to 150 million gas, potentially enabling significantly higher transaction throughput. These improvements complement broader scalability efforts, including EIP-9698, which suggests a 100x gas limit increase over two years to reach 2,000 transactions per second. Fusaka removes the previously planned EVM Object Format redesign to reduce complexity while maintaining focus on essential infrastructure improvements. The upgrade introduces bounded base fees for blob transactions via EIP-7918, creating more predictable transaction costs for data-heavy applications. Enhanced spam resistance and security improvements strengthen network resilience against scalability bottlenecks and attacks. Technical Implementation and Testing Timeline The Fusaka rollout follows a conservative four-phase approach across Ethereum testnets before mainnet deployment. Holesky upgrade occurs October 1, followed by Sepolia on October 14 and Hoodi on October 28. Each testnet will undergo the complete BPO fork sequence to validate the blob capacity expansion mechanism. BPO forks activate automatically based on predetermined epochs rather than requiring separate hard fork processes. On mainnet, the first BPO fork launches December 17, increasing blob capacity to 10/15 target/max. The second BPO fork activates January 7, 2026, reaching the final capacity of 14/21 blobs. This automated approach enables flexible blob scaling without requiring full network upgrades. Notably, node operators face release deadlines ranging from September 25 for Holesky to November 3 for mainnet preparation. The staggered timeline, according to the developers, allows comprehensive testing while giving infrastructure providers sufficient preparation time. Speculatively, the developers use this backward-compatible approach to ensure smooth transitions with minimal disruption to existing applications. PeerDAS implementation reduces node resource demands, potentially increasing network decentralization by lowering barriers for smaller operators. The technology enables more efficient data availability sampling, crucial for supporting growing Layer 2 rollup adoption. Overall, these improvements, combined with increased gas limits, will enable Ethereum to handle higher transaction volumes while maintaining security guarantees. Addressing Network Scalability Pressures The Fusaka upgrade addresses mounting pressure for Ethereum base layer improvements amid criticism of Layer 2 fragmentation strategies. Critics argue that reliance on rollups has created isolated chains with limited interoperability, complicating user experiences. The upgrade’s focus on infrastructure improvements aims to enhance base layer capacity while supporting continued Layer 2 growth. The recent validator queue controversy particularly highlights ongoing network scalability challenges. According to a Cryptonews report covered yesterday, currently, over 2M ETH sits in exit queues facing 43-day delays, while entry queues process in just 7 days.Ethereum Validator Queue (Source: ValidatorQueue) However, Vitalik Buterin defended these delays as essential for network security, comparing validator commitments to military service requiring “friction in quitting.” The upgrade coincides with growing institutional interest in Ethereum infrastructure, with VanEck predicting that Layer 2 networks could reach $1 trillion market capitalization within six years. Fusaka’s emphasis on data availability and node efficiency supports Ethereum’s evolution toward seamless cross-chain interoperability. The upgrade complements initiatives like the Open Intents Framework, where Coinbase Payments recently joined as a core contributor. The initiative, if successful, will address the $21B surge in cross-chain crime. These coordinated efforts aim to unify the fragmented multichain experience while maintaining Ethereum’s security and decentralization principles
