Hill, who lost the supporting actor Oscar earlier this year to Christopher Plummer, used his acceptance speech to poke fun at the 82-year-old "Beginners" co-star.
"I'd just like to point out that he's not nominated for anything tonight," joked Hill, who co-wrote and executive produced the movie.
The Hollywood frolic was televised live on Fox just two days after the midnight massacre at a Colorado movie theater showing "The Dark Knight Rises," killing 12 and injuring 58. The movie wasn't up for any awards nor was there any reference to the tragedy during the show.
"I was devastated when I heard," said Lovato on the red carpet before the show. "It is just really horrible that we can't even feel comfortable going to the movie theater, and that extra police have to be at movie theaters now. It is just really sad that our world has come to that."
The Teen Choice Awards also aired in the wake of a fog machine malfunction that forced the evacuation the night before of a Hollywood nightclub that hosted a Teen Choice Awards pre-party featuring the boy band Midnight Red.
Los Angeles Fire department spokesman Brian Humphrey said six people, ages 8 to 20 years old, were taken to the hospital for problems ranging from headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath and cryogenic burns.
