Award Shows

Before this lil' kiddo rockin' a bowl cut turned into a 2026 Tony Awards' nominee, he was just growing up in London and dreaming of the big screen when he was just 5 years old ...

He's nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for his performance on Broadway's "Every Brilliant Thing."

Perhaps you best know him from "Harry Potter."

The American Music Awards are officially underway -- and Teyana Taylor and co wasted absolutely no time making sure the red carpet was the place to be!

Have a scroll through our star-studded gallery -- Teyana rolled into Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena on Memorial Day Monday with the likes of Karol G, Tinashe and Hilary Duff, who looked phenomenal in her silver number.

Meanwhile, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Jessi Draper wasn’t keeping many secrets under wraps -- showing up looking absolutely smokin’ alongside Marciano Brunette -- while reality faves Abbey Romeo and JaNa Craig kept the hot streak alive.

Singer Esty was also on fire with her look, as was Mia Calabrese, who took some J.Lo inspo for her plunging look -- and you can bet Mr. Fantasy was all about the energy!

Before this lil' daredevil holding a tarantula turned into a musical icon, he was just admiring Elvis Presley's music ... and looking up to Coldplay!

This talented guy has won several American Music Awards -- both solo and with his boy band. He's heading into tonight's award show with several noms, including "Artist of the Year" ... and that's what makes him beautiful!

Queen Latifah's regal looks over the years deserve a frigin' award!!!

Here is a 32-year-old version of the rapper-actress lookin' fire at a Hollywood luncheon in back in 2002 (left).

And, more than two decades later, it's hard to believe this queen is 56! Here's a shot of her serving style and stunning looks at CinemaCon 2026 just last month (right).

Queen Latifah is set to host tomorrow's American Music Awards, where we're placing our bets on her looking gorgeous, but the question here is:

Good Genes or Good Docs?!

One of music's biggest nights is goin' down tomorrow, so we're giving you an exclusive opportunity to cast your faves and place your bets ahead of the show ...

The American Music Awards have never exactly been a quiet night in Hollywood -- from wild stage moments to red carpet drama, TMZ's locked in the legendary moments that left fans doing double takes!

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake arriving to the AMAs in matching denim is an obvious stand-out, but what about Kanye West storming out after he lost Best New Artist to country singer Gretchen Wilson in 2004?!

These are the AMAs shockers people still talk about long after the lights go down.

Calling all you mighty Millennials, ballin' Boomers, groovy Gen X-ers, and everyone else ...

The American Music Awards are on Monday, and unlike other award shows, the AMAs are fan-driven. We’re showcasing the hottest Gen Z nominees of 2026, backed by stats that prove their popularity.

And of course, we’ve included honorable millennial mentions -- all of whom Gen Z loves, too!

Before this dressed up girl from Pennsylvania turned into a global superstar, she was just getting all dolled up for her recitals and posting YouTube covers ...

She hasn't won any American Music Awards (just yet), but she's definitely wrangled in some nominations, and this year she's up for a hefty amount.

🎶 "Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get, And I like my men all incompetent!" 🎶

The American Music Awards are on the horizon and we're shining the spotlight on two of the hottest nominees: Benson Boone and Role Model.

The question here is simple: Who'd You Rather?!

Amber Rose is finally admitting she may have accidentally helped gas up one of pop culture's most infamous moments ... Kanye West crashing Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs.

Check it out ... appearing on the "Ball in the Family" podcast with Lonzo and LiAngelo Ball, Amber confessed she was hyping Kanye up hard before the awards show -- even encouraging him to grab a bottle of Hennessy before they hit the carpet.

“We need to be on the carpet ... taking shots of Henny,” Amber recalled telling Ye before the show ... adding she was constantly reminding him, “You the biggest thing in the whole world.”

But Amber insists she had no idea what was about to happen once they got inside.

"All of a sudden I’m just sitting there and then he’s on stage," she said. "I'm like, 'Oh s***. I was not expecting that.'"

He just won an Oscar ... and then he was filing a missing-persons report on it.

Award-winning filmmaker Pasha Talankin -- who thought his golden statuette, which he won earlier this year for Best Documentary Feature -- vanished for good Wednesday after a TSA showdown at John F. Kennedy International Airport in NYC -- is finally breathing easier … because the missing award has been found.

Talankin was forced to check his Oscar after agents flagged the 8.5-pound trophy as a potential weapon before his flight to Germany -- despite him previously traveling with it without issue. When he landed in Frankfurt, the box carrying Hollywood's biggest prize was nowhere to be found … sparking outrage and a frantic search.

Now, the airline, Lufthansa, says the statue has turned up ... Talankin’s collaborator, David Borenstein, posted a statement on Instagram from the airline confirming the Oscar has been located, and the company is in contact with the owner to arrange a handover.

Taylor Swift had more than just a trophy to celebrate at the iHeartRadio Music Awards -- she also gave a ton of credit to her fiancé, Travis Kelce, during her acceptance speech ... thanking him for making her "The Life of a Showgirl" album possible.

The couple -- who got engaged in August 2025 -- stole the spotlight at the awards show at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday, with all eyes and cameras locked on them.

Swift took home Best Pop Album for her "The Life of a Showgirl" ... and her acceptance speech sent fans into a frenzy.

It's still awards season and Hollywood is showing up for the iHeartRadio Music Awards ... with big names like Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Shaboozey, Ne-Yo, Jason Derulo, Jason Aldean, and Ludacris in the house.

The awards show is going down right now at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with Luda handling the hosting duties.

Celebs are dressed to the nines as they show up to possibly take home some hardware ... so check out the gallery to see all the fits and looks.

Usher is seemingly unfazed by the argument he and Justin Bieber had just a week ago, as he's seen strolling the streets of L.A. looking as cool as a cucumber.

We broke the story ... Usher and Justin Bieber got into it at an Oscars after-party hosted by Beyoncé and Jay-Z. We heard people talking about the incident between Usher and Justin, with some saying that it ended up as a fist fight between the two.

Sources connected to Justin tell TMZ ... Usher came up to Justin at the party with "energy and anger," and the two got into a "heated exchange." Our Bieber sources say there was no physical contact ... but it was intense.

Take a deep breath, Tom Brady -- Joe Burrow might not be "Mr. Steal Your Girl" after all ... the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback was spotted with Olivia Ponton Thursday night.

Burrow was out and about in LA ahead of the Fanatics Flag Football Classic slated for Saturday ... a few days after he left an Oscars party flanked by Alix Earle, Tate McRae, and Stassie Karanikolaou.

Seems like they were just saving money on Ubers that night ... 'cause Burrow was back with his presumed partner as the flag football competitors met for a pre-showdown gathering at Alba.
