The Teen Choice Awards threw its full support behind the hit series "Empire," and honored late actor Paul Walker. Furious 7 was one of the night's top winners, claiming best action movie and best actor in an action-adventure for Walker.

Co-star Vin Diesel applauded a "special, special" teen in the crowd: Walker's daughter Meadow. Britney Spears, with her blonde hair partially dyed blue and purple, was honored for being a style icon. She dedicated the award to her two sons and niece in the audience.

One Direction landed eight awards, bringing their "lifetime" total to 23. The British boy band, currently on tour, accepted the awards in a taped video. "Empire" won breakout TV show and provided one of the show's most memorable moments when Jussie Smollett and Yazz performed "You're So Beautiful" as their co-star Gabourey Sidibe made a surprise cameo and twirled around with the back-up dancers.

Ellen DeGeneres won for best comedian. Channing Tatum, Wiz Khalifa, Steph Curry and "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" also took top prizes.
