It takes a lot for any of us to feel star struck. But reading over the collected OUTzone staff text messages we sent each other during last night's opening of the 25th Annual Outfest -- we might actually be gay nerds.

A sampling:

"OMG, Judith Light hugging Tori Spelling!"
"What do we think of the Perez Hilton orange hair?"
"Theodore Leaf looks like my (hot) imaginary boyfriend. Should I mention?"
"Cast of 'Queer as Folk' is here. Someone pounce."
"The LA gays don't wear nearly as much black as NY gays ... thoughts?"

The festival kicked off with a screening of Save Me -- starring Chad Allen, Robert Gant and the unbelievable Judith Light. And we're going to ask this now -- where the hell have they been hiding Judith Light all these years? Her performance in the movie is the stuff that, no kidding, Academy Awards are made of. But the best part of the evening came with the introductions.

As expected, Bill Condon was honored with the Outfest Lifetime Achievement Award for his direction of movies like Gods and Monsters, Kinsey, Chicago, and Dreamgirls. Pioneer lesbian filmmaker Barbara Hammer was also honored with the first ever OUTfest platinum award.
You can look her work up here. (Seriously, we were sitting right next to her, she' amazing.)
