The 2017 American Music Awards (AMA) were handed out today, honouring the best in music this year.
Bruno Mars led the way in nominations with eight for the world's biggest fan-voted awards show. The '24K Magic' singer also took home the top prize, Artist of the Year, beating out The Chainsmokers, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Ed Sheeran, reports Billboard.
Mars was not present at the star-studded event to accept his award and instead sent a video of himself riding in what appeared to be a van.
Mars also won video of the year and favourite male artist, pop/rock, and favourite album, pop/rock.
