The AMAs will feature this year's hottest stars and unforgettable performances. At 5 p.m. ET/PT, there will be a pre-show hosted by Lance Bass, Kimberly Cole, Brad Goreski, Sean Kingston, Eden Sher, Tristan Wilds and Shay Carl, as well as the NOKIA correspondent Andy Grammer. After that, artists will be honored in the categories of Pop/Rock, Country, Rap/Hip-Hop, Soul/R&B, Alternative, Adult Contemporary, Latin, Contemporary Inspirational and - for the first year ever - Electronic Dance Music.

For the sixth year in a row, fans get to vote for their favorite artists (the voting for this year's show has ended). The results will be revealed on Sunday night, where we will see who wins big, and who goes home with nothing.

“The 40th American Music Awards will once again represent the epitome of pop culture, featuring today’s biggest stars and music icons all on one stage,” co-executive producers Allen Shapiro and Orly Adelson, and producer Larry Klein jointly stated.

Nicki Minaj and Rihanna lead the nominations with four each, while Drake, Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, One Direction and Usher follow with three nominations each. Carrie Underwood, Chris Brown, fun., Gotye, J.Cole, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Luke Bryan and Pitbull all collected two nominations each.
