TAYLOR Lautner remained composed when receiving an award from his ex-girlfriend last night.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon star was handed the Favorite Breakout Actor accolade from Taylor Swift – who he recently split from following a brief romance — at the 36th Annual People’s Choice awards show held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, and was later seen giving her a standing ovation when she picked up her own honor, for Favorite Female Artist.

Taylor’s award was not the only one given to the vampire franchise — which also stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart — as it was also recognised as Favorite On-Screen Team and Favorite Franchise.

Sandra Bullock was a big winner at the ceremony, beating Kristen and Jennifer Aniston to be named Favorite Movie Actress and her film The Proposal was named Favorite Comedy.

Speaking of her wins, she said, “I am only up here because I am fortunate to work with people who make me look good. Thanks most of all to my family… life is hard sometimes, but we get through with laughter.”

Other winners included Johnny Depp, who won the Actor of the Decade and Best Actor, and Lady Gaga, who was honoured in the Favorite Pop Artist and Favorite Breakout Music Artist categories.
