New York - The 17th Teen Choice Awards threw its full support behind Caitlyn Jenner, the hit series Empire, honoured late Furious 7 star Paul Walker and paid homage to a respected elder: Britney Spears.
The two-hour teen celebration, broadcast live on Sunday night, kicked off with a victory lap for the weekend box-office hit Straight Outta Compton. Ice Cube and the young stars of the N.W.A biopic, which earned an estimated $56.1m over the weekend, welcomed the young crowd to Los Angeles' Galen Center.
The Teen Choice Awards spread awards across movies, music, TV, fashion, sports and digital media, celebrating the favourites — from Channing Tatum to Wiz Khalifa to Stephen Curry — of one of media's most powerful demographics.
The Teen Choice Awards' new reigning powerhouse, One Direction, landed eight awards, bringing their "lifetime" total to 23. The British boy band, currently on tour, accepted the awards in a taped video.
The hip-hop drama Empire won breakout TV show and provided one of the show's most memorable moments. While Jussie Smollett and Yazz performed "You're So Beautiful," a song from the series, the show's Gabourey Sidibe made a surprise cameo, exuberantly dancing among the back-up dancers.
Ellen DeGeneres won for best comedian. Adding a Teen Choice Award to her People's Choice Award, DeGeneres requested awards from other age groups: the elderly and babies.
