The suspense is over, stoners. You can finally exhale. The High Times Stony Awards were handed out in NYC Tuesday night, and Jennifer Aniston -- who was a no-show -- won top honors for her doobie-ous role (yuk-yuk) in Friends With Money.

Mary-Louise Parker took home the gilded spliff for her role as a pot brownie-dealing soccer mom in Weeds, and Saturday Night Live's Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell won for their chronic lullaby “Lazy Sunday.”

Adrianne Curry and Chris Knight won for My Fair Brady, although we’re not sure why because the 25-year age difference creeped us out too much to tune in.

See the rest of the winners here.

Ben Affleck Just As Surprised By "Best Actor" Award As the Rest of Us

Ben Affleck left the Venice Film Festival early to beat the traffic and ended up missing out when he won the Best Actor award for his portrayal of TV Superman George Reeves in the film Hollywoodland.

He explains, "If I thought for a second that there were going to be awards for anybody, I would have stayed!"

Affleck, 34, admitted that he regrets some of his career choices, even the ones that were certifiable blockbusters.

He adds, "I've been in movies that earned a lot of money that... I wish I wasn't in honestly. I was a little cavalier before, but having a child makes me think about things differently.

"I have to prove myself all over again, but I don't mind that. Once I realized where things were going, I just said, 'OK, let me make sure I'm in a place where I don't have to worry about being on "Family Feud" for dough in five years and then I'll just do what I can be proud of.'"

The actor says he reexamined his priorities after his daughter Violet (with wife Jennifer Garner, 34) was born last December.

"The only thing that matters to me is my daughter being able to be proud of her old man. "
