Sturgess was such a sweetheart, he really was. And Gerard Butler was awesome, too. I ran right into him as he was exiting the premiere of The Wrestler (which I had also just attended - he was leaving through a back door) and he was very nice about it. He stuck around for as long as he could, even though his lady-friend (wife?) was waiting in the car. He signed maybe ten autographs for people just on his way out of a movie. He's forever in my Good Book: he actually stuck around long after his own premiere to see some movies. I'll tell you who the real autograph Nazi was, though: Edward Norton. I'm really surprised, actually, that his name isn't on the list. His fans were literally crying for him in the rain, and he completely ignored them. He gave a grand total of maybe two autographs, for a photo-op, and bolted for the press tent.

There is a rudeness with some of these people.
VERY true! Autograph collectors would push everyone into the barricades until they started yelling for them to stop, and they didn't even care. It was all about them getting what they wanted. And don't even get me started on the photographers who bring their own stools to stand on. Talk about rude!
