Patricia Arquette, Guillermo del Toro, Robert Rodriguez and Richard Linklater were a few of the numerous actors and filmmakers who walked the red carpet in Austin last night for the 15th annual Texas Film Hall of Fame Awards.

The event honors the best in Texas film and raises funds for the year-round programs and services of the Austin Film Society. It also has grown into one of the most glamorous nights in Austin.
