The American Music Awards’ highly anticipated return doesn’t look to have gone as well as planned.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The AMAs have been running since the 1970s and recently took a two-year hiatus, making its momentous return this year.<\/p>\n

The night saw\u00a0Jennifer Lopez<\/a>\u00a0as host, while the likes of Sir Rod Stewart, Rene\u00e9 Rapp, Gwen Stefani, and Janet Jackson all took to the stage to perform.<\/p>\n

Away from the host and performers though, there was something missing from the awards \u2014 the usual cohort of\u00a0celebrities<\/a>\u00a0that attend the ceremony.<\/p>\n

In fact, some viewers were adamant that there were\u00a0more influencers at the AMAs than usual<\/a>\u00a0and questioned where the usual A-listers were.<\/p>\n

The likes of\u00a0Ariana Grande<\/a>, Taylor Swift,\u00a0Kendrick Lamar<\/a>, Eminem, and\u00a0Billie Eilish<\/a>\u00a0were all up for awards, none of whom were in attendance during the evening in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Adding to fans’ disappointment, several of the night’s biggest awards weren’t actually aired. With this in mind, many people have hailed this year’s AMAs as ‘the worst ever’.<\/p>\n

“The #AMAS WAS HORRIBLE AND VERY BORING,” said one critic on\u00a0social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The #AMAs deciding not to televise 90% of the major categories because none of the nominees bothered to show up is kinda the most insane thing to happen in award show history,” fumed another.<\/p>\n

Another person penned: “The worst ‘award show’ I\u2019ve ever watched. Not announcing the biggest categories is such a scam.”<\/p>\n

Somebody else said that aside from\u00a0Mean Girls\u00a0<\/em>star Rapp’s performance, the whole night was ‘the most boring award show [they] have ever watched’.<\/p>\n

Awards that weren’t announced during the broadcast included Album of The Year (which went to Billie Eilish for\u00a0Hit Me Hard and Soft)\u00a0<\/em>and Favorite Male Pop Artist (awarded to Bruno Mars).<\/p>\n
