Teens Choose Pirates, High School

Los Angeles (E! Online) - Just what the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise needed: more booty.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, the third and ostensibly final installment of the swashbuckling event flicks, took home a leading four nods at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards Sunday, including honorary surfboards for three of its stars.

The action-adventure film, rather unsurprisingly, trounced its competition in the Choice Movie, Action-Adventure category, nabbing the top popcorn prize. Meanwhile, swoon-worthy stars Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley repeated wins from years past, with the effete eyeliner-friendly leading man taking home the Choice Movie Actor, Action-Adventure prize and his costar nabbing the Choice Movie Actress, Action-Adventure nod.

Rounding out the movie's honored thesps was sadly not locker pinup Orlando Bloom but Davy Jones himself, Bill Nighy, who took home the coveted Choice Villain nod for his portrayal of the tentacled baddie.

In addition to the treasure trove of awards bequeathed to the Pirates, the 8.5 million teens who logged votes for the awards made repeat winners of a slew of their favorites.

Justin Timberlake, Sophia Bush, Will Smith and the High School Musical gang scored three awards apiece, while Steve Carell, Shia LaBeouf and American Idol scored two nods each.

But while High School Musical wasn't the top winner of the night, its presence was keenly felt throughout the laid-back event.

Hunky star Zac Efron, fittingly, took home the Choice Male Hottie award, while his costar and down-low girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens took home the Choice Music Breakout Artist nod for her self-titled debut album. The recent ratings juggernaut that was High School Musical 2 took home the Choice TV Movie nod, while the cast itself was credited with at least one other win.

"I couldn't have done this without you," Choice Comedian winner Dane Cook said of the HSM kids while accepting his award.

Timberlake, for his part, accepted his three nods via satellite, including his honorary Ultimate Choice Award for his barrier-breaking aura of cool in music and movies, as he is finishing up his FutureSex/LoveSounds tour.

Bush, meanwhile, was the most diverse winner, earning her three nods in different projects: Choice Movie Actress, Comedy for John Tucker Must Die, Choice Movie Actress, Horror/Thriller for The Hitcher and Choice Movie Breakout, Female.

Other big-name winners of the night were Jessica Alba, who nabbed the Choice Female Hottie board, Fergie, who scored the Choice Music Female Artist honor, The Hills' feud-embroiled Lauren Conrad, who was named Choice TV Female Reality/Variety Star, and E! News' own anchor Ryan Seacrest, whose star diva-channeling turn in Knocked Up earned him the coveted nod for Choice Movie Hissy Fit.

Nick Cannon and Hilary Duff hosted the awards, handed out in Los Angeles Sunday. Here's a complete list of the 2007 Teen Choice Award winners:
