Miley Cyrus and One Direction were the biggest absences at the Teen Choice Awards, but they didn't forget about the big ceremony.

They both took to Twitter to thank fans for the awards they won.

Miley wrote: “So sad I wasn't able to be at TCA tonight! My fans are amazing! Thank you beyond! TCA is my favorite cause it comes from y'all :) Love u.”

One Direction posted “Thanks Directioners for voting at TCA12! We're so honored to take home 3 Choice Awards including best love song #WhatMakesYouBeautiful.”

And 1D knew ahead of time they were going to win the awards, so they prepared this little thank-you video for fans. They're trying to build their own surf board out of the pieces the Teen Choice Awards sent them and miles of tape...

Thanks to Wambie girl Yasmine for sending in the video, and Anna for telling us about a better one in the comments!
