The 2020 American Music Awards are in full swing.
A host of stars from the world of music turned out at the ceremony in person, with performances from Los Angeles' Microsoft Theatre from the likes of Dua Lipa, Maluma and Jennifer Lopez.
Other stars have performed from a distance, including BTS in South Korea and The Weeknd, who used an empty street as his stage.
It was a big night for The Weeknd, who picked up three of the eight awards he was nominated for so far – Favourite Male Soul / R&B Artist, Favourite Soul/R&B Album and Favourite Soul / R&B Song. On the night, he arrived and performed at the awards sporting a large white bandage wrapped around his face and nose.

He gave no reason for his appearance, which confused fans on social media, but it appeared to be an artistic choice that started with his March album cover where he sported a bloodied and broken nose.
The Weeknd and Californian rapper Roddy Ricch went into the fan-voted awards show with a leading eight nominations apiece.
Both musicians are competing for the top award, Artist of the Year, along with Justin Bieber, Post Malone and Taylor Swift, but lost out to the Folklore singer – the only female nominated in the category.
Along with The Weeknd, Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift topped the winners list, with three awards each, followed by Dan + Shay, Bad Bunny, BTS, Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj, who each took home two apiece.
The show was hosted by Golden Globe-winning actress, Taraji P Henson, who said as she opened the night: "I'm just happy to be off the couch and in some real fashion." The Empire actress wore a silver Armani Prive dress, Tom Ford shoes, and Tiffany & Co jewellery to arrive at the show.
"It has been a long year and, now that 2020 is coming to an end, it's time to remember that we are one country, y'all. We need to heal," she added.
Masked dancers and stripped-down performances were the order of the night, kicking off with Bieber singing his hits Lonely and Holy before being joined by Shawn Mendes for their duet Monster.
The show celebrated the surge in popularity of Latin music with expanded categories and a performance by Jennifer Lopez and Colombian singer Maluma singing Lonely in both English and Spanish.
Becky G, whose parents are Mexican-American, won Best Female Latin Artist and dedicated her award to immigrant workers.
K-Pop stars BTS were named the Favourite Pop / Rock Group, and accepted their award from South Korea, after performing remotely during the show.
Rapper Megan Thee Stallion marked her debut performance at the American Music Awards with Body and later accepted the Best Rap / Hip-Hop Song trophy for her summer collaboration WAP with Cardi B.
Bieber and country singers Dan + Shay won Best Country Song and Best Collaboration for 10,000 Hours, while Katy Perry gave her first major performance since giving birth to a baby girl, Daisy, in August.
