Jimmy Kimmel, the host of the AMA 2008 at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, joked recapping musician headlines from the year:

Christina Aguilera had a baby … Mariah Carey married one.”

Mariah was escorted on stage by her toy-boy husband Nick Cannon to perform ‘I stay in Love’ and Terrence Howard presented her with an AMA for breaking records in music.

Kanye West accepted the award for Rap/Hip Hop Album, to what he said:

I wake up in the morning thinking about what stereotypes I wanna break. I wanna be Elvis…

I want to give this award to Wayne,” he said. “If it was last year it would have been my award.” “

Annie Lennox received the Award of Merit by surprise guest – Justin Timberlake!

Miley Cyrus decided to kill the two rabbits. She celebrated her 16th birthday and entered the stage driving a car!

Rihanna went up to the podium twice, winning awards for favorite Soul R&B Female and Pop/Rock Female.

The coveted Artist of the Year award was presented to her bf Chris Brown to what he replied:
