Eighteen awards were handed out during the course of the evening. Check out the winners list below.
And for fun, watch American Idol judge, Jennifer Lopez, mis-speak as she presents the Hollywood Animation Award to How to Train Your Dragon 2. She begins to introduce the movie as “How to DRAIN Your Dragon…” before catching herself and breaking into a fit of giggles. “You DON’T want to drain your dragon!” the singer laughs. Bonus shot of fellow Idol judge, Steven Tyler in the audience reacting!
After a clip of the movie runs, star, Gerard Butler, can’t help but tease Jennifer as he accepts the award on behalf of the cast and crew. “Thank You Jennifer for that flawless introduction!” Gerard says, “It’s a double honor tonight, because I’m actually getting an award for a movie that I didn’t know I was in!”
