The 2015 American Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angelos, Sunday, November 22, at 8 p.m. on ABC and this year's nominees were announced this morning by Joe Jonas and Charlie Puth on Good Morning America. Jennifer Lopez will be a performer this year as well as the host.
Artists are nominated based on album and digital singles sales, radio airplay, streaming, social activity and touring. Unlike other award shows, where only members get to chose the nominees as well as the winners, the AMA's are entirely decided by the fans. According to Eonline, you can vote for each category once per day and per platform by either visiting AMAvote.com; posting a status on Facebook that includes the nominee's name and the category's hashtag within the post(s); or posting a tweet that includes the nominee's name or Twitter handle, the category name and #AMAs within the post(s).
