Heated Rivalry star wins Best TV Performance at Queerties
"I think probably the most important and political thing that we can do right now is just unapologetically be. I want to share this with my scene partner Robbie GK, because whatever I did in there, we did it together. This is for you, buddy."
"The steamy queer ice hockey drama follows Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander. The pair are rivals on the ice but secret lovers in private. Alongside their burgeoning enemies-to-lovers story, the show also spotlights the subplot of Kip Grady and Scott Hunter."
"After winning the Outstanding New TV Series award at the 2026 GLAAD Awards just last week, Heated Rivalry now adds a Queertie to its trophy cabinet."
Heated Rivalry claimed the Best TV Drama award at the 14th annual LGBTQ Queerties Awards, with lead actor François Arnaud winning Best TV Performance. The steamy queer ice hockey drama follows rivals-turned-secret-lovers Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, alongside a subplot featuring characters Kip Grady and Scott Hunter. Arnaud accepted his award via pre-recorded speech, emphasizing the importance of unapologetically being oneself. The show's success follows its Outstanding New TV Series win at the 2026 GLAAD Awards. Other honorees included Jonathan Bailey receiving the Badass award, Lady Gaga's "Abracadabra" named best anthem, and Cynthia Erivo winning two awards for her film and memoir work.
