Kristen seemed genuinely stunned and appreciative of the award thanking Twilight fans and her family.

Noel Clarke, last year’s winner who plays Mickey on Dr. Who, was able to talk to Kristen backstage after presenting her with the award. Noel was last year’s winner. Kristen, in keeping with tradition, will most likely present the award to next year’s winner.

Kristen is the first American woman to ever win the award. (Photo gallery here)Since its inception only one other American, Shia Labeouf, has ever received the award.
