The 2018 American Music Awards are all set to take over the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles tonight. The show will be hosted by Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross and feature performances from Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Ella Mai, and more.
As you might expect—if you paid any attention to the charts, the radio, or the outside world—Cardi B and Drake lead the list of nominations. Both acts have eight noms and are competing against each other for Video of the Year and Favorite Artist - Rap/Hip-Hop.
That's not to say it's all giants. Newcomers like Camila Cabello still found the space to do well in the nominations. The former Fifth Harmony member racked up five noms behind her eponymous debut album and the massive single "Havana." XXXTentacion's mother, Cleopatra Bernard, accepted the Favorite Album - Soul/R&B honor for 17 in her son's behalf.
All of the nominees are listed below and will be updated as the winners are announced.
