Stars descended upon the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, gearing up for one of music’s biggest nights at the 45th annual American Music Awards. Shortly after Pink and Kelly Clarkson brought down the house with their moving performance of R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts,” Imagine Dragons won the first award, favorite duo or group — pop/rock. It eventually became clear that the night belonged to Bruno Mars, who scored seven trophies, although he wasn’t present. See the complete list of winners (in bold) and nominees below.
