American Music Awards 2007

The 35th annual American Music Awards were broadcast live on Sunday, November 18th 2007 from the Nokia Theatre LA, USA

The event was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel

Nominees for the 2007 American Music Awards, produced by Dick Clark Productions, Inc., were announced during a press conference at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Present for the announcement was comedian, writer and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, who is returning for his fourth time to host the 35th anniversary of the popular awards show. Actress and singer Ashanti and pop rock group the Jonas Brothers were also on hand to announce the list of nominees.

For the first time in American Music Awards history, winners were determined by online voting at ama.abc.com (votes were collected from Oct. 9 to Nov. 2). Winners were announced at the 2007 American Music Awards ceremony, which was broadcast live on ABC, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18 (8:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) from the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles.

Initial nominees were selected by using ballots containing names compiled from data supplied by the music industry trade publication, Radio & Records and Nielsen Soundscan, which tracks retail music sales. The ballots were then sent to a national sampling of more than 15,000 people based on what type of music they listen to, what they buy and how many albums they purchase per year. The sampling also took into account geographic location, age, sex and ethnic origin. The top three vote getters were determined to be the nominees for this year's American Music Awards.
