With Taraji P. Henson hosting the star-studded 2020 American Music Awards, the show was anything but boring.

Megan Thee Stallion, Katy Perry and many more artists took the stage at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles, California, Sunday night.

However, viewers may have noticed some differences during this year's ceremony. For one, there were safety precautions put in place due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Furthermore, the 2020 American Music Awards introduced new categories: Favorite Male Artist and Favorite Female Artist (Rap/Hip-Hop), as well as Favorite Male Artist, Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Album and Favorite Song (Latin).

The Weeknd and Roddy Ricch earned the most nominations with eight each, while Megan Thee Stallion nabbed five nominations. Some first-time nominees included DaBaby and Doja Cat.

So with that in mind, check out the list of winners below to see if your favorite star went home with an award Sunday night.
