Emma Watson Harry Potter Awards

He only turned 23 today, but Harry Potter actress Emma Watson has been recognised for her work in film and fashion at the MTV Movie Awards.

She collected the trailblazer award at the Los Angeles ceremony and, after spending her formative years in the spotlight, admitted: “Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing.”

Dressed in a Maxime Simoens graphic-print dress, she was presented the award by fellow British actor Eddie Redmayne and said: “I look back at all of the work I have done over the past 14 years and many things come to mind, notably how bad my hair was in the first Harry Potter film.

“Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing, and it’s a process. I was completely the eager beaver in school, I was the girl in the front of the class who was the first person to put her hand up.

“It’s often not cool to be the person that puts themselves out there, and I’ve often gotten teased mercilessly, but I found that ultimately if you truly pour your heart into what you believe in — even if it makes you vulnerable — amazing things can and will happen.”

The award was introduced last year when it was given to actress Emma Stone, and Watson said following in her footsteps was a daunting task.

She added: “I was actually here last year when Emma Stone won the trailblazer award, and she gave this awesome speech and I felt really inspired”. She sat in the audience with boyfriend Will Adamowicz.

Tom Hiddleston was the other British winner of the night, with best villain award as Loki in The Avengers. The superhero film scooped the movie of the year prize as well as best fight.
