//Events: 2008 American Music Awards – Complete List Of Winners//

   

A speechless Chris Brown accepted his award for Artist of the Year at the 2008 American Music Awards beating out the leading lady Alicia Keys and Coldplay for the night’s biggest award. That award made him the biggest winner of the night with three awards. Alicia didn’t walk away empty handed, though. She picked up two awards along with Rihanna who shocked with her win in the R&B category and Kanye West who declared it was “Lil Wayne’s year” instead.
