Last year, Out Takes Dallas went to a monthly format instead of the week-long festival, but that doesn’t mean they decided not to hand out award for excellence.
The winners for this year’s list will be announced in September, but here’s the exclusive list of nominees, which includes a change in format from previous years:
Instead of best actor and best actress, awards will be handed out for best leading performance and best supporting performance (male or female).
Best narrative feature: "Boystown," "Drool," "Were the World Mine."
