Yeah as most of you I actually watched the American Music Awards last night. I must say I was a bit surprise by some of the winners. But I guess it goes to say that in this era of voting via texting and record sales anything can happen. I heard from a Traffic wizard friend of mine that as far as ratings the show actually did well. A 6% increase viewership from last year’s telecast. Not bad. I must say the show’s diversity of artists was actually refreshing. And BTW, congrats to all the winners.

 

 

So I thought of providing -in case you didn’t have a chance to watch it- you guys with a list of winners & nominees for the 36th annual American Music Awards, held on Sunday, November 23, 2008, at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
