On the eve of SXSW, the stars were out at the Texas Film Awards, including megawatt celeb Johnny Depp.

Depp accompanied honoree Amber Heard, who the tabloids call his fiance. Though our adamant Twitter followers insist she is “just a friend.”

Donning a Ulyana Sergeeenko dress, the Austin bred babe was honored with the Rising Star Award.  

The dashing couple were joined at the fete by Heard’s parents, Paige Parsons and David Heard (who accompanied his daughter to the Golden Globes earlier this year).

From Dusk Till Dawn received the Star of Texas Award which Director Robert Rodriguez accepted along with Greg Nicotero, Tom Savini and Fred Wiliamson. Also on hand were cast members from Rodriguez’s TV reboot airing on the El Rey Network.

David Gordon Green was presented his award by Danny McBride.

And Mac Davis received the soundtrack award from the one and only, Priscilla Presley.

Sporting a serious stache, Dallas native Luke Wilson served as Master of Ceremonies.
