It's been a sweet couple of months for Academy Award-winning producer Bruce Cohen. Back in June he married his longtime boyfriend Gabriel Catone (with none other then the mayor of L.A. officiating), and he also put the finishing touches on one of the hottest prospects of the upcoming winter movie schedule, Milk.

And later this month, Cohen will be honored at Outfest's 2008 Legacy Awards:

"As a producer, philanthropist and activist, Bruce Cohen has been one of the singular most influential supporters of Outfest and LGBT filmmakers," said executive director Kirsten Schaeffer.

In addition to sure-to-be-award-friendly Milk, Bruce took the home the Oscar for producing American Beauty, and has been behind such gay-themed projects as To Wong Foo and The Nines (which was written and directed by gay filmmaker John August ... and starred the hunktastic Ryan Reynolds), and gay faves like Pushing Daisies.

And to top it off, his award will be presented to him by Ewan McGregor, who starred in another of his films, Big Fish (which was also written by August).

An Oscar, a cute husband, working with the likes of Ewan and Ryan, and now he's being honored with this award? It's a good thing I'm not a jealous person, or I'd also point out that he produced The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas ... but I'm not, so I won't.
