"High School Musical 2" rules Teen Choice awards

Fergie performed "Big Girls Don't Cry" and was honoured as this year's Teen Choice female artist of the year.

"I have to say this award in particular means so much to me," said Fergie, clutching her surfboard. "Because this award isn't paid for ... it's picked by you."

Other winners included Ryan Seacrest for best hissy fit, in the comedy movie "Knocked Up," and Steve Carell for choice scream, in the film "Evan Almighty." Carell also was named best TV actor in a comedy for "The Office."

Finally, Miley Cyrus won two awards for summer artist and for best TV actress in a comedy with "Hannah Montana." That show also was named best comedy TV program.
