The American Music Awards – aka the younger, hipper Grammys – were handed out last night, and boy they sure do like Bruno Mars, who took seven AMAs. Seven! Including Artist of the Year, Video of the Year, and Favorite Album! Hey uh, look, his stuff is catchy and all, but really? Artist of the Year? (We probably shouldn’t complain. Ed Sheeran was also up for that one.)
