- The adults brought some seriousness to teen night: Amid all the fun and games, Justin Timberlake, who won the inaugural Decade Award and Jessica Alba, who took the stage to throw light on gun violence, discussed some serious issues. "As a relatively new dad and a former teen, I am here to say you will make mistakes along the way," Timberlake told the teens. "You will fall down. I have many times — even [Muhammad] Ali did."
Meanwhile Alba and singer Ne-Yo, who performed Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," asked the teenagers to stand united in the peaceful fight against violence. They were joined on stage by a group of teens who were all affected by the recent shootings in places like California and Florida. "Tonight, we stand together with these teens united in a call for peace and an end to this violence... Now, more than ever, we need to stop, feel and ask, 'What's going on?'" Alba said in a powerful speech.
