2016 American Music Awards: See The List Of Winners
The 2016 American Music Awards brought a cavalcade of performances from Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Green Day and more, and also included some emotionally moving acceptance speeches — not least from Selena Gomez, who won Favorite Female Artist Pop/Rock. In her first awards show appearance since her announced rehab stay for anxiety and depression-related issues, Selena addressed why she stepped away from the spotlight, and thanked fans for their support.
The evening saw a host of wins for Drake including Favorite Album and Favorite Artist in the Rap/Hip Hop categories; show co-host Jay Pharoah also unveiled a new Apple Music spot that finds him lip syncing to Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood".
This year's AMAs ceremony, hosted by model Gigi Hadid and SNL alum Jay Pharoah, featured plenty of superstar nominees vying for a win, and Drake led the pack with a record-setting 13 nominations. Rihanna was up for seven, and Adele and Justin Bieber were up for five awards each. Check out the full list of 2016 AMAs winners below, updated as info is released.
