Los Angeles: The American Music Awards (AMAs) will be held on November 22 this year, ABC Network and Dick Clark Productions have announced.

It is, however, unclear in what format will the music gala return or whether an audience will be present in the wake of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, according to a news report.

The nominations, which will be announced in October, include categories such as pop/rock, alternative rock, country, rap/hip-hop, soul/R&B, Latin, EDM, alongside awards for new artist of the year, collaboration of the year, video of the year, favorite song and artist of the year.

The AMAs celebrate top music artistes across multiple genres and headline performances by performers.

Last year, singer Taylor Swift emerged the biggest winner in the history of AMAs with 28 total wins, beating King of Pop Michael Jackson's record of 24 all-time wins.
