I just read that Clay Aiken, the runner up on American Idol, has been nominated for an AMA award-- Male Artist Pop/Rock (along with Justine Timberlake, Kid Rock, and John Mayer)

You can go to the site via ABC and check out the other nominees.

I foresee a Beyonce sweep in her categories. So predictable...

Isn't the American music awards usually held in January?

It used to be, but they pushed it back so it won't be overshadowed by the Grammy Awards.
