Ellen's tweets recognized by teens

Last night, Fox aired the 2009 Teen Choice Awards and talk show host and comedienne was honored for her words, not necessarily her stage presence.

Ellen DeGeneres is the face of the popular talk show named after herself and last night received the award of Choice Twit, beating out the Twitter-obsessed Ashton Kutcher.

However, Ellen did not take her award and slip back into the talk show shadows. She promised, via Twitter, of course, that one of her followers will randomly win $1000.
According to the official blog, Ellen has not yet named the random fan that will benefit from her spontaneous generosity.

The Teen Choice Awards feature popular celebrities, movies and music amongst the mainly teenage girl fanbase. This year, Miley Cyrus performed live on the show and the show was simultaneously tweeted as events unfolded onscreen.

Viewers who hoped to learn about Ellen's win could follow @TeenChoiceGirl to hear insights into celebrities thoughts and to remind fans to turn on the TV.

Posts like 'turn on FOX!!!!! Jonas brothers are hosting teen choice!!!' peppered the feed throughout the show's duration, showing how Twitter has become a significant part of popular culture.
