This year's OutFest, the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, came to a close last night, and Out in Hollywood's Greg Hernandez was there to get all the scoop. This was a festival after all, so awards were handed out in a gala show hosted by none other then Bruce Vilanch. The big winners of the Audience Awards were The Bubble (Dramatic Feature) and For the Bible Tells Me So (Documentary Feature; click here for Greg's review), while 25 Cent Preview won two Juried Awards (U.S. Dramatic Feature and Outstanding Actors for co-stars Merlin Gaspers and Dorian Brockington).

Greg also got a chance to speak to several celebs on hand, including T.R. Knight, Brothers & Sisters stars Sally Field and Matthew Rhys (who also starred in the festival favorite Love and Other Disasters) and Trevor Wright, star of Shelter, another fest fave.
And add another film to your must-see list: a documentary on out gay Christian singing duo Jason and deMarco called We're All Angels.
OutFest's closing night film was the west coast premiere of C. Jay Cox's Kiss the Bride, starring Phillip Karner, Tori Spelling and James O'Shea. The next night, it held its east coast premiere at the Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. For an interview with Cox (plus an uncensored rear view of O'Shea), head over to Hot in Hollywood.
