The Full List of American Music Awards 2022 Nominees and How To Vote

The American Music Awards 2022 will take place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 20.

The ceremony will celebrate the AMAs' 50th anniversary as well as the best in music, with the winners being voted for solely by the American public.

The host of the star-studded ceremony has yet to be revealed, after Cardi B took the job in 2021, but audiences can expect to be treated to incredible performances from some of the biggest names in music.

The nominees have finally been announced and fans can now cast their votes for the acts they want to see take home an award.
