Once all the celebrities finish their interviews on the red carpet, they come inside here where they have the cocktail party and we're the only camera allowed inside. Let's go see what we can find out.
All right, so here we are, Frankie Muniz. We're walking in the award show. Now, you're the coolest young veteran. How does that work?
I'm not quite sure. I'm only 19, so being called a veteran is kind of weird.
I you're old, man, you're 19.
Well, I'm hoping it's not like they're saying that's the beginning of the end of my career, you know, cuz I'm like a veteran, I'm like retiring. Like I'm hoping it will continue forever, but I guess in the sense of like Young Hollywood. Yeah, I've been on a show for going on seven years now and so it's exciting.
how's it all feel so far? Different than a typical award show cuz it is Young Hollywood.
Oh yeah, you know, there's amazing people here. I saw Carmen Electra outside and Gwen Stefani and
Now you just did the red carpet. Now, we know red carpets are all the same thing. What was the stupidest question you got asked out there?
A lot of people kept asking me about the whole Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes thing. I have nothing to say about it.
I don't know, right? Is this crazy or what? Look at all the madness surrounding us here.
I know. I know. I just got a plant from Miami and it's like my eyes are popping out.
What were you doing down in Miami?
Uh, there's a thing called Spring Fest and we were like just doing like kind of stupid motion for the new movie Hustle & Flow.
Nice, and that's the hot movie of the night here. Everyone's talking about Hustle & Flow and you're the man behind it. So just take us through the experience. You finish the red carpet, now you come in here, what do you do next?
Um, I come around. I look at a lot of different sexy girls and I make my way to my seat.
Okay, do you know where you're sitting, who you're sitting with?
I don't know. I don't know. Who am I sitting with?
Let's walk through. Are you going to your seat right now? Have you been to an award show before that something really crazy or unsuspected might have happened?
Well, not really anything that crazy, but I was like at the Kids' Choice Awards like two weeks ago and like I was doing this interview and I like turned around and Will Smith was behind me and I was like, "Oh my gosh."
You were a little starstruck over Will Smith? What? Yo, who do we got here? Who do we got here, Jon?
This is Craig Brewer. He directed Hustle & Flow.
Oh, the man. All right. Yo, sir, how does it feel? Probably your first award show, right?
Ah, this is the At the Zoo, man.
What are you most looking forward to?
Uh, I'm actually looking forward to just seeing the whole cast together. I haven't seen them together in a long time. We became like this family on the set. So I gotta see the family back together again.
How did you get fortunate enough to hook up with Mr. Singleton?
You read my script. That's all it takes.
I got a script. No, not everybody has script like he has. All right, now this is like a threesome. This is some weird action going on. What's up here?
The first time. Second guest: Yeah, the first time.
So what's the whole Young Hollywood experience been like? Second guest: Um, I I I have to say I love it. I love that they labeled it that. Cuz now I feel young and spry again.
You are young. Come on, Jenny. Second guest: I'm 30.
Two. Ah! So we're here with Benji Madden from Good Charlotte. What's going on?
Good. This is Sky Peters. My little sister-in-law.
Nice, Ben. So you used to do award shows, but they're usually like Grammys and those kind of stuff. What's it like being at the Young Hollywood Awards?
It's cool. It's really cool. Like, you know, it's it's uh it's nice to get out here and meet everyone and meet the young Hollywood people and, you know, be in Hollywood. I'm from Maryland, so, you know, Hollywood's a change of pace for us kids from Maryland.
I mean, it's about as Hollywood as it gets. We're here on Hollywood Boulevard. You got all the stars and and everything. You know?
Yeah. I mean, it's crazy. This is what stuff that kids dream about.
Okay, I'm here with America Ferrera. How did you get this name, America?
America is actually my mom's name as well. So I was named after my mom. Like a little America Jr.
Yeah.
And my parents are from um Honduras. So, yeah, in Latin America, America's not such an uncommon name, so. It is my real name.
I know. We got a photo booth here. And we're gonna capture the moment, so we're gonna be with you. I don't think you want me in the picture though, so I'm gonna step out. Do you guys know how to work this?
No, what do we do?
Hit the green button. Yeah. When you're ready, you make a crazy face and you go right there. Oh, the red one. First, you too. For say. Then more, but let's see. Who are they? You look good there. That's not me. Jenny, that's you. That's Jenny, right? Did you punk us? All right, let's try it again. Let's try it again. Let's take another picture. You ready? We will make this work. Smile and relax, it said. Oh. Just relax. Ready? Green. Go, look. Let's see how it is. Let's see how it is. Okay, we got the pictures. We're waiting. It's a suspenseful feel, you. Three minutes. All right, we're gonna find you later in the party. We're gonna bring you the pictures. How does that sound? And tonight you're getting an award for breakout performance. Tell us about that.
I am. I'm getting an award for breakout performance. And Catherine Hardwicke, who's actually standing right here, co-Cathe is presenting. Yeah, she's presenting it to me.
All right, here we are with Jon. He's gonna find Jenny. Jon, where's she at? We got her pictures. We got blackmail. We're going through. We're going through. Jon, you sure she's in here?
I hope so. She might not be in here. My wife hides from me a lot.
We are gonna find Jenny. We're on a mission. Oh, that's it. Oh, we got her in the corner. We found you. We've been looking for you. We have a surprise. What do you think?
I love it.
You want this?
I look so much better in black and white.
All right, that's all I gotta say. And I look so much better further away. Anything exciting happened since we left you?
Um, they don't have vodka.
You're kidding me.
No.
No vodka? We're gonna find you vodka.
Will you find me some?
We're on a mission. We're gonna meet up with Jenny later with vodka. Here, you take the best one and keep it.
