Will Bruce Cohen (left) and Dan Jinks (right), the Academy Award–winning producers behind 1999's American Beauty, bring their golden Oscar touch to Milk? No matter how the votes are cast, the producing pair have triumphed with their Herculean effort to bring one of the most highly anticipated films of the last 10 years to the big screen.

They're only two of the many out gay men who worked on Milk, all of whom we are proud to celebrate in this year's Out 100:

> Gus Van Sant, director and Out's Artist of the Year
> Dustin Lance Black, screenwriter
> Stephen Spinella as Rick Stokes, the gay attorney Milk beats in his winning bid for office
> Denis O'Hare as John Briggs, the California state senator and architect of anti-gay Proposition 6
