Joe Jonas, Rachel Platten and the AMAs

The nominations for the American Music Awards were announced earlier this week and it went along as much as you would expect. Joe Jonas and Rachel Platten helped with the announcing of the nominations on “Good Morning America,” making it an event in itself. Both Jonas and Platten saw themselves receive nominations while reading it out loud, which was cool in itself.

Which awards are these two up for when November 20 comes rolling around? Well, Joe Jonas and DNCE have two nominations and have a good shot at taking home some hardware if you ask us! They are up for Favorite Duo or Group – Pop/Rock and New Artist of the Year Un-Leashed By T-Mobile. For Favorite Duo or Group they are going up against Twenty One Pilots and The Chainsmokers, some very stiff competition.

Rachel Platten has just one award, but as you could tell when it was announced she was very excited about it! She’ll be facing Meghan Trainor and Adele for the Favorite Artist – Adule Contemporary award.
