Ever since the sexual tension between him and Winona Ryder in "Reality Bites," haven't you totally hearted Ethan Hawke? Even his nanny philandering hasn't ruined him for us.

{All photos by Jimi Celeste for PMc]. The actor who recently helped memorialize the NYC spirit in an underwhelming "New York I Love You" (Paris Je t'aime totally kicked its butt) was in attendance at last night's premiere of his latest movie, "Day Breakers," at the SVA Theater. An interesting crowd, including Miss USA (please tell us she is required to wear her banner, and doesn't just rock it for fun), Tina Brown and Marky Ramone; viewed the actor's futuristic, sci-fi horror flick, where vampires deal with a dwindling blood supply in 2019.

So while this latest project might not sound like the most compelling piece of media, we won't abandon our affection for the constantly scruffy star. Hey, got to ride that vampire profit wave while it lasts, right?
