2007 Teen Choice Awards Honor Best In Entertainment

Last night was a big deal for many celebrities. The Fox Network held their annual Teen Choice Awards at Universal Studios in Hollywood, and passed out life-size surfboards in lieu of statuettes. Hilary Duff and Nick Cannon shared the hosting duties.

The big winners of the night included “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” with a win in the Choice Movie: Action Adventure category. Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley and Bill Nighy also received surfboards.

Another huge hit with the teen crowd was (surprise surprise) “High School Musical 2” winning the Choice TV: Movie, along with Zac Efron’s win in the Choice Male Hottie department. Vanessa Hudgens snagged a surfboard for her Choice Music Breakout Artist: Female honors.

Actress Sophia Bush had a terrific showing as well, grabbing three surfboards for Choice Movie Breakout: Female, Choice Movie Actress: Horror/Thriller for “The Hitcher” and Choice Movie Actress: Comedy for “John Tucker Must Die.”

Overall, the award show happened surprisingly quickly, moving through the 30 categories in less than two hours. Musical performers included Shop Boyz, Kelly Clarkson, as well as winners Avril Lavigne, and Fergie. The Black Eyed Peas singer gave a moving acceptance speech. “This award isn’t paid for. This award isn’t traded for favors,” she said, while tearing up. “This is picked by you.”
