Young Hollywood Awards
The film, starring Evan Rachel Wood, was released in 2003 to positive reviews, gaining Reed some recognition in Hollywood as both a screenwriter and an actress. Following this, Reed was invited to appear on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and serve as host on a number of award shows, including the "Young Hollywood Awards" (2003) and the "Independent Spirit Awards Nomination Show", followed by the West Independent Spirits Awards, both in 2004. Reed has repeatedly been cast as sexually advanced, precocious teenagers, including her character in "Lords of Dogtown" (2005), also directed by Hardwicke. In early 2006, she appeared on the series "The O.C.", playing Sadie, a new love interest for the character Ryan Atwood. Reed appeared on "The O.C." at the same time as future "Twilight" co-stars Cam Gigandet and Jackson Rathbone.
