The Critics Choice Association kicked off its third annual LGBTQ+ Cinema and Television Celebration in Los Angeles, marking the start of Pride Month events. At the event, stars like Dan Levy, Hannah Einbinder, Noah Schnapp, Jane Lynch, and 'Heated Rivalry' creator Jacob Tierney were honored. This event was held to celebrate the impact of the LGBTQ+ community in the film and television industry.

While campaigning for an Emmy for his new series 'Big Mistakes', Dan Levy spoke about the desire of queer individuals to produce Hollywood projects. He highlighted the responsibility these projects carry to create a societal impact. "Imagine the joy of creating something purely for entertainment in a world where many queer stories are told," he said.

Levy noted that those who run the industry often think they know what they want, but productions like 'Schitt's Creek' and 'Heated Rivalry' have faced significant viewer demand. He also emphasized that these two shows exist solely because Canada values them. Levy stated that Hollywood needs to invest more in queer voices, saying, "We are making you money."

Finally, Levy expressed hope that Hollywood would one day turn in their favor, humorously suggesting that Canada shouldn't always have to say, "I told you so." He concluded by referencing Canada's modest nature, saying, "We don't like to brag, but we will if necessary."
