Taylor Lautner remained composed when receiving an award from his ex-girlfriend.

The ‘Twilight Saga: New Moon’ was handed the Favourite 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 in Los Angeles.

He was later seen giving her a standing ovation when she picked up her own honour, for Favourite 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 Favourite On-Screen Team and Favorite Franchise.

Sandra Bullock was a big winner at the ceremony, beating Kristen and Jennifer Aniston to be named Favourite Movie Actress and her film ‘The Proposal’ was named Favourite 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 Favourite Breakout Music Artist categories.
