Rebel Wilson, wearing an oddly appropriate pink and black wetsuit, took home the first film award for her role in the comedy Pitch Perfect.
'Thank goodness I won or else it would have been really awkward wearing this wetsuit. I can take this surfboard to the beach and look at it,' the Australian comedianne said.
But the bold blonde was later bleeped as she made an off-colour remark about One Direction's band name that was muted out by producers.

Ultimate Choice winner Ashton Kutcher used his platform to deliver an impassioned speech to the mostly under 20 set -- many of whom were just born when he first landed on television in 1998 in the hit comedy That '70s Show.
The Jobs star joked that the achievement -- his 16th board in his two decade career -- felt like he was receiving 'an old guy award.'
Ashton then got serious, offering to his many learned lessons on opportunity, potential and life in general.
'I've never had a job in my life that I was better than,' the 35-year-old said, recounting his first job as a dishwasher before breaking into modelling in his late teens.
'I was always just lucky to have a job. .. I never quit my job till I had my next job. So opportunity looked a lot like work.'

He also shared to the audience his view on sexiness -- 'the sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart' -- and other nuggets of wisdom.
'Life can be a lot broader than that when you realize one simple thing: Everything around us that we call life was made up by people who are no smarter than you.
'You can build a life that other people can live in. Build your life, don't live it.'

The show ended with an attempt to rally the crowd to break the world record for twerking, a theme hosts Darren and Lucy brought up earlier in the show by ambushing One Direction's Harry Styles into a twerking demonstration.
The 19-year-old first insisted that he wasn't going to partake in the popular dance move, insisting that his tight pants might not be up to the task.
But he gladly joined in the fun, and later Darren and Lucy brought out Guinness World Record officiators to count the entire audience's effort.
