For første gang siden debutudgaven af det traditionsrige prisshow tilbage i 1974, blev American Music Awards ikke afholdt i 2023 og 2024.
I går vendte AMAs, der nominerer musikere ud fra kommercielle parametre og finder vinderne gennem offentlig afstemning, imidlertid tilbage til den amerikanske sendeflade efter at være blevet opkøbt af tv-kanalen CBS. Jennifer Lopez var årets vært, skriver NME.
Her præsterede Billie Eilish lidt af en magtdemonstration, idet hun endte med at vinde en pris for hver af sine syv nomineringer, herunder Årets artist. Eilish var ikke til stede under ceremonien, men takkede sine fans og prisuddelingen gennem en forhåndsoptaget video.
Talentprisen Årets nye artist gik til popkollegaen Gracie Abrams, mens SZA vandt for Årets r’n’b-sang (for ‘Saturn’) og Årets kvindelige r’n’b-artist.
Beyoncé dominerede i country-kategorierne og vandt Bedste country-album og Bedste kvindelige country-artist. Den mandlige udgave af sidstnævnte blev tildelt Post Malone, som også vandt Bedste country-sang for Morgan Wallen-samarbejdet ‘I Had Some Help’.
Kendrick Lamar var nomineret i hele 10 kategorier, men vandt blot en enkelt statuette i kategorien Årets hiphopsang for ‘Not Like Us’. Eminem blev hans overmand i kategorierne Bedste mandlige hiphopartist og Bedste hiphopalbum.
Lettere overraskende gik Taylor Swift tomhændet hjem fra prisshowet, hvor hun var nomineret i seks kategorier.
