Hayden received the Gretchen Wyler Award, given annually at the Genesis Awards to a celebrity who brings attention to animal causes. Wyler, who founded the awards and was also an actress, presented the first award to Paul McCartney. She died last May from breast cancer.
Hayden’s parents and her boyfriend and Heroes co-star – Milo Ventimiglia were in the audience and watched a video of the actress and others paddling out on surfboards and confronting fishermen, who trap and kill dolphins to protect their fish supply. They then gave a standing ovation as Hayden took the stage.
Save the cheerleader! And she’ll save the dolphins! Kudos to Claire Bennett!

The movie begins with a male tourist (Nathan Christopher Haase) looking a picture of "Water Horse" in awe. When the female tourist (Megan Katherine) says it could be real, the young man argues and an old man interrupts with his own tale of the Water Horse.
Back in the 1940’s in Scotland, a young boy named Angus MacMorrow (Alex Etel) lives in a large house with his mother and sister and a maid, and later also another handyman. Angus thinks his father is still alive and waits for him. He discovers a big mysterious egg and cares for what hatches of it: a ‘water horse’ he calls Crusoe that grows so rapidly becoming the fabled Loch Ness Monster.
Young Angus keeps the creature a secret, but later he tells his sister and the male servant. Lewis Mowbray (Ben Chaplin) who works as a handyman for MacMorrow’s tells Angus that Crusoe belongs to a species which can asexually reproduce through parthenogenesis, and always die after laying an egg.
Despite without any knowledge and permission from Mrs. MacMorrow, a group of soldiers involved in the defense against possible attacking or hiding German U-boats is stationed in and near the house. The creature is sometimes attacked by the dog of the soldiers. It grows fast and is brought to the lake.
It is still friends with Angus, and lets him ride it underwater, coming to the surface from time to time for breathing. However, it suffers from shells shot into the lake for practice, and attacks the soldiers. Angus falls into the Loch and Crusoe saves him. At first it cannot leave the lake due to an anti-submarine net intended to catch possible German U-boats entering the lake, but later it succeeds. Angus finally accepts the creature’s departure, and also that his father died.
After the story was told eventually the story-teller reveals himself to be Angus MacMorrow. It then shows another boy manages to find a new egg from the shore while his mother is calling his name.
On a quest to find out what happened to his missing brother, a scientist, his nephew and their mountain guide discover a fantastic and dangerous lost world in the center of the earth.
