THEIR AMA IS TRUE

Sales-Based, Fan-Chosen American Music Awards Return to ABC on Nov. 22
The nominees have been announced by the American Medical Association... Scratch that. The nominees have been announced for the American Music Awards, which will once again take place in the fall so as not to compete with February’s Grammys.
