 Riverdale was the big winner at the Teen Choice Awards, taking away 10 awards in LA on Sunday night.

The Archie Comics adaptation was joined by The Greatest Showman, Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War on the list of big winners.

Along with film and television, the awards celebrated the best teen icons in comedy, fashion and sport.

The tightly packed two-hour ceremony also featured performances from Bebe Rexha, Meghan Trainor and Khalid. Riverdale was the stand-out winner of the night, taking away big awards like the drama TV show award, TV villain award, drama TV actor and actress.

The cast were given their awards (huge surfboards) early on in the evening and then were sent straight back on a plane to Vancouver to resume filming for series three of the hit show.

Archie Andrews himself, played by KJ Apa, thanked the audience on stage. “There’s a lot of great shows, so we feel really grateful to be up here,” said Apa. “We started the show two years ago, and I think we’re all kind of surprised about where the show has gone and how it’s been accepted… thank you guys so much for watching the show.”

Other highlights included Zac Efron continuing his bromance with The Greatest Showman co-star Hugh Jackman.

Efron took home the first award of the night for best drama movie actor and went on to win awards for Movie Ship with Zendaya and for the song Rewrite the Stars, which is also from the film. Efron dedicated the best actor award to Jackman, saying: “From the bottom of my heart, I couldn’t ask for a cooler, more amazing person to work with.

“He’s my best dramatic actor – and a hero, and a mentor, and a good friend. Thank you, Hugh Jackman.”
