Stewart's best actress award was her second in two years for her work in the film series about a teenager who falls in love with a vampire (Pattinson).
"The Hangover," a surprise hit of 2009, won two awards -- one for Zach Galifianakis for best comedic performance and one for Ken Jeong for best "WTF" moment. Jeong played an over-the-top bad guy in the story of a bachelor party gone wrong in Las Vegas.
