The annual event, which honors some of the biggest names in pop culture, took place last night at the Kimpton's Surfcomber Miami and many an OUT100 alumn was present. And yes, Billy Reilich was the super-cute trophy boy (see below). The event will air on Logo Dec. 7 at 8 p.m.

Rupaul's Drag Race reigning champ and OUT100 honoree Bianca Del Rio, took home the award for Best New Television Personality while Orange is the New Black actress Lorraine Toussaint and Looking star Jonathan Groff nabbed the Best New Television Actor and Best New Television Actress awards respectively.
