It's catty and competitive and everyone knows each other -- or at least knows of each other. It's Hollywood!

People often compare Tinseltown to high school (a novel called "Hollywood is Like High School With Money" was even released earlier this year). And who would we be to ignore such a phenomenon, especially during the back-to-school season?

So, we're embracing our school spirit and doling out some traditional awards to our favorite under-30 celebs. Why? Um, because we can.

Most Likely to Succeed: ZAC EFRON
With a number of TV and film projects under his belt, 21-year-old Efron already has a lengthy Hollywood resume. Plus, the young whippersnapper's hosted Saturday Night Live, has cracked the Billboard Top 10 with a song from High School Musical, raked in several Teen Choice and MTV awards and had an estimated worth of $10 million as of April. He's on a roll.

Class Clown: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
Timberlake's come a long way since his days with N*SYNC. And we were pleasantly surprised to learn that Timberlake not only has decent acting skills, but a real knack for performing comedy, as demonstrated during numerous SNL appearances. Between his "D*ck In A Box" skit and his dance routine spoof to Beyonce's "Single Ladies," we hope there's a lot more to see of JT. Figuratively speaking, of course ... we pretty much saw all there was to see (literally) when he appeared in the Beyonce-inspired leotard.

Prom Queen: MEGAN FOX
Often, this title is a bit of a popularity contest, and right now Fox seems to be the young celeb-du-jour. The former model and actress has drawn comparisons to Angelina Jolie for her tattoos and sultry looks, and she's ranked on practically every "Sexiest Celeb" story that's been written in the past year. Hopefully, her head isn't too big for her honorary prom tiara.

Best Anatomy: SCARLETT JOHANSSON
Skinny stars are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, but there's a reason Johansson ranks among the sexiest women in Hollywood. She reminds us that curves are not only womanly, but natural. Unless you tune into Mad Men, nobody fills out a sheath dress or a pencil skirt like this knockout. Period.

Best Style: LEIGHTON MEESTER
Mixing bold colors, patterns and textures into her fashion-forward wardrobe, the Gossip Girl star earns rave reviews for her enviable style. A complete style chameleon, she isn't afraid to play with makeup or change up her hairstyle. From natural innocence to sexy vamp, Leighton is a master of many looks.

Most Athletic: KENDRA WILKINSON
Now that Kendra is preggers, it's not like she's out playing in celebrity football, softball and soccer games anytime soon. But there's no denying this reality star's penchant for sports. During her time on The Girls Next Door, Kendra was agile at every athletic endeavor she attempted -- and she's got the toned body to prove it.

Most Likely To Succeed: WHITNEY PORT
Sure, Whitney's spin-off, The City, is one of the most boring reality shows on television. But that's because Whitney seems relatively normal and hard-working and focuses on her fashion career, leaving the drama behind on The Hills. She's gorgeous, driven and successful to boot. We may not want to watch The City, but we'd love to meet up with Whitney for some career advice.
