The Gay & Lesbian Entertainment Journalists Association have chosen their winners from the film year and, like so many other awards bodies they've opted for a Savage Grace mother/son reunion with Julianne Moore & Eddie Redmayne taking Actress & Actor of the Year for film. (The primary difference being only that they have probably heard of / possibly seen Savage Grace.) Lisa Kudrow & Jeffrey Tambor took the television version of those prizes and though there was significant spreading of the wealth elsewhere, Transparent, Amazon's Golden Globe winning breakout show about a retired father (Jeffrey Tambor) who comes out to her children as a trans woman thoroughly dominated the TV field winning five prizes.

Julianne & Eddie in Savage Grace (2007), Still Alice (2014) and Theory of Everything (2014)
As previously stated I still don't understand this associations definition of camp (Into the Woods is too literal-minded to be camp if you ask me - I was partial to the much cleverer Gone Girl in that category) I'm very happy with the results with love for several wonderful 2014 achievements like Selma, Getting On, Pride, and Mommy all among the film and tv awards. See the complete list after the jump.
