Apparently Mariah Carey and American Music Award nominations
belong together.
The R&B diva led the AMA field with
four nominations in all, including nods for Best Female Artist and Best
Album for The Emancipation of Mimi in both the pop and R&B
categories.
The nominations for the 33rd Annual American
Music Awards were announced Tuesday during a news conference at the
Beverly Hills Hotel. The awards ceremony is scheduled for Nov. 22 at Los
Angeles' Shrine Auditorium and will be broadcast live by ABC. Cedric the
Entertainer is slated to host the festivities.
Kelly Clarkson, 50 Cent and Green Day trailed Carey with three nominations
apiece.
Clarkson will go head to head against Carey and
Gwen Stefani for Best Female Artist in the pop/rock category and will
also compete for the Best Album trophy. The American Idol winner
is also in the running for Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist against
John Mayer and Maroon 5.
Fiddy is up for Best Male
Artist in both the pop/rock and rap/hip categories. His chart-topping
album, The Massacre, was nominated for Best Hip-Hop Album.
Green Day will compete for the Best Band, Duo or Group honor
in the pop/rock category against the Black Eyed Peas and 3 Doors Down
and for Favorite Artist cred in the alternative category against
Coldplay and System of a Down. The band's American Idiot is up
for Best Pop/Rock Album.
Other multiple nominees
included the Black Eyed Peas, Destiny's Child, Eminem, Fantasia, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw and Gretchen Wilson, who all racked up two nominations
apiece.
