Last night the 2008 Teen Choice Awards infiltrated and took over the Gibson Amphitheater at Universal City in Hollywood, CA in order to honor the previous year’s stellar achievements in categories which include music, movies, sports and TV, as voted on by teens aged 13-19. As usual, all the hottest young stars came out for the event … here are a few of the folks who walked the red carpet last night:

The “It” Girls were in attendance as were the new kids on the block — members of the cast of 90210 made last night’s Teen Choice Awards their unofficial coming out party to hang with the cool kids. There are a whole slew of pics to check out from last night’s fête. After the jump, check out some pics from the show itself, some pics of the couplely couples who were in the audience, some of the winners with their surfboards and, of course, a lot of Beckhamness …

Here are some pics from the actual show itself … you can see some folks presenting awards, accepting awards and Mariah Carey dressed inappropriately for a children’s show:

Oh, Mariah … you are so cute thinkin’ you can dress like a teen at your age ;) I’m not at all surprised that Mimi deigned to not only attend this year’s Teen Choice Awards but to perform as well … especially when you consider that she met her child-husband, Nick Cannon, at the Teen Choice Awards back in 2005. But the night was really about this year’s winners so here are a few pics of some of the folks who took home Teen Choice Surfboards last night:

The Jonas Brothers and the CW hit Gossip Girl were the big winners at Sunday’s Teen Choice Awards. Both took home six awards each. Gossip Girl was honored for choice TV drama, breakout show, breakout male actor (Chace Crawford), breakout female and TV drama actress (Blake Lively) and TV villain (Ed Westwick). The Jonas Brothers won for choice breakout group, love song, music single, song of the summer, male red carpet fashion icons and male hotties. “Last year we were here presenting, and to be back a year later and to be up for seven awards, that’s really, really crazy!” Nick Jonas told Usmagazine.com. “We are so blessed, and our fans are incredible, and we love it.” Miley Cyrus — who scored three awards — hosted the show, which airs tonight at 8 p.m. (ET) on Fox. Lauren Conrad won choice TV female reality star. “It’s really cool,” she told Us. “It came from people who watch you every week and relate to you.” She told Us she’ll keep her award “with my mom in Laguna. She has a room for them.” Heroes star Hayden Panettiere was honored as choice TV action-adventure actress and David Beckham as choice male athlete. His son Cruz stole the show, however, when he started break dancing on stage after his dad accepted his award. David said he didn’t teach his son those moves. “He went on tour for six months with his mom,” he told Us, “so maybe he learned from her!”

And speaking of the little ham, here are a couple pics of Becks on stage accepting his award and his sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz who he brought on stage with him … natch, Cruz had to upstage his older brothers by throwin’ down some bitchin’ dance moves:

I dunno … those elder Beckham boys better learn tricks or something cuz the little one is really lookin’ to usurp and take over the Beckham empire.

Here are a few pics of some of the coupley couples were were canoodling and nuzzling all up on one another in the audience:

Don’t they all look so precious? Who knew that the Teen Choice Awards could be such a romantic place? I suppose much congrats are in order for all the winners this year. The show airs tonight on FOX at 8pm but you can click HERE to see a full list of this year’s winners.
