Rumer Willis, currently appearing on American screens opposite Anjelica Huston in Medium, was also called to the stage to accept the breakthrough female award.
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter, fresh and funky in a strapless dress with ruffle skirt, was cheered on by her All My Sons actor boyfriend Mica Alberti as she picked up the gong.
Israeli model Bar Refaeli, on glowing form in in a one-shoulder, Notte by Marchesa mini dress with large flower detail on the bodice, was named Hollywood crossover. The gorgeous 24-year-old has done some presenting work this year for MTV and is to make her big screen debut in thriller Session in 2010.

Megan’s mantra to deal with casting couch
The Transformers star, who was voted World's Sexiest Woman by FHM magazine,
said many leading filmmakers had tried their luck with her during interviews but the 23-year-old has her own way of dealing with them.‘Any casting couch s**t I''ve experienced has been since I've become famous. It's really so heartbreaking. Some of these people! Like Hollywood legends,’ the Daily Express quoted her as telling Britain's GQ magazine.
‘You think you're going to meet them and you're so excited, like, ''I can't believe this person wants to have a conversation with me,'' and you get there and you realise that's not what they want, at all. It's happened a lot this year actually,’ she added.
Fox further said her male co-stars were no less but a blow to their ego settled them for good.
She explained: ‘There are some guys, talking about actors who have been in the business for a while, who are very egocentric and have been able to sleep with a lot of girls for whatever reason, and because they don't know me they think I'm going to be this little cupcake, this Marilyn Monroe type who's going to bat my eyes and be like a receptacle for them.
‘I just shut them down immediately, right in front of people. It's been so long since someone has told them no, they don't really know how to deal with it. Because of this non-reality they live in, they're f**ked up, psychologically.’

Megan Fox may have been voted the World’s Sexiest Woman but that did not do much for the actress, who is still struggling to cope with her single status

The 23-year-old said she is still learning to deal with not having someone looking after her. "Alone. I am not in a committed relationship right now. I really don’t know anything about being single yet, really. I’ve been reading a lot and listening to music and trying just to work on myself,” the Daily Telegraph quoted her as saying.
"I was with someone from the time I was 18, so I’ve never been forced to take care of myself. I’ve always had someone doing that for me.
"Right now there’s no space in my head for who’s going to be next or how I need to fill my time. I’m just trying to be comfortable with who I am before I get into another relationship.
"(Otherwise) I will be Elizabeth Taylor by the time I’m 60 and I don’t want to do that,’’ she added.

Julianne Hough: Just Steps Away From Footloose?
Guess who loves Julianne Hough?Kenny Ortega, the director of the upcoming remake of Footloose.
Nope, the Dancing With the Stars hoofer and country singer hasn't landed the female lead opposite Chace Crawford yet, but...
"I love her," Ortega tells me. "I adore her. I'm a big fan of hers. Not only how beautiful but how deep her talent goes."
Ortega, the man behind the High School Musical cameras, was more restrained when asked if Hough will indeed be Crawford's leading lady."Maybe," he said with a grin.
Hough has been just as coy. "I don't want to say anything until it's a 100 percent thing," she recently told Ohio's WTAP News.
As for Crawford, Ortega says he nailed it at his audition. "He left his apartment at 4:30 a.m. in New York, flew across the U.S. and walked through the door," he recalls. "He was ready, open, no excuses, just dove in. So disciplined. He's colorful, smart, musical, sexy and fun.
"There were 12 of us there, and you could see the little smirks going up," he continues. "Everyone was smiling when he walked out the door."

Did Ex-Dawson's Creek Show Runner Just Trash Katie Holmes?
No, it isn't 1998. It's just that former Dawson's Creek show runner Tom Kapinos spoke at a Los Angeles Times' Envelope Emmy screening series panel about his current show, Californication, last night, and well, he went off on his former starlets.
In talking about the genesis of Californication, Tom explained: "The idea came out of my own misery of working on Dawson's Creek. I came out here to write screenplays, and I ended up on Dawson's Creek, which was very lucrative and fun, but it was not what I wanted to do."
Tom then went on to seemingly trash Dawson's stars Katie Holmes, James Van Der Beek, Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams. Check this craziness out...
"The experience was miserable," he continued about Dawson's. "But it was a four-year boot camp. It was like going to TV grad school and learning how to run a television show. Anybody on that show who could make a decision was allowed to run it at some point. I inherited the very awkward college years, and I almost ran the show into the ground. But I learned everything that I needed to know about how to run a show."
When the panel moderator asked, "What was it specifically that made it such a challenge?" Tom dropped this bomb: "It was the four monstrous actors at the core of it."
The audience erupted in laughter as Tom continued, saying: "They were very young, and they got very famous, and they made life miserable for any writer or producer on the show."
