It is one of the biggest nights in the music business and it seems that the American Music Awards was a night to celebrate the achievements of the fairer sex.
Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift were among the female stars scooping up the gongs leaving their male counterparts curiously empty handed.
Nicki who had put on a stellar performance with David Guetta to open the ceremony held at the Nokia Theatre scooped the Favorite Album Awards for Pink Friday as well as landing the coveted Favorite Artist Award.
Beaming the rapper and singer told the crowd: "There's so much love in this room."
Taylor Swift who was highly celebrated at the Country Music Awards recently scored the award for Female Country Artist and was congratulated with a warm embrace from Selena Gomez.
Jennifer Lopez, who had put on an extremely provocative performance with rapper Pitbull, before he went on to sing with her estranged husband Marc Anthony, was awarded the gong for Favorite Latin Artist.
Katy Perry who had showed off her curves in a stunning Vivienne Westwood dress on the red carpet was given a special honor to signify five of her songs from her album hitting the number one spot.
The "California Girls" singer took to the stage in her pink performance ensemble and was handed the gong by Heidi Klum.
The pair shared a kiss before Katy gave her thank you speech.
After her seriously raunchy performance which saw her strip off on stage Jennifer Lopez donned a sheer embellished gown to collect her award for Favorite Latin Artist.
Reflecting on the past year JLo told the crowd: "It's been up and down and just exciting and overwhelming and so many things."
Not all the winners were able to attend the ceremony and Rihanna gave her thank you speech via video link as she was in London.
