The 2022 Latin American Music Awards brought out some of the biggest artists for a performance-packed show on Thursday, hosted by Rafael Amaya, Jacqueline Bracamontes, and Cristián de la Fuente.
Going into the big night -- held at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada -- Bad Bunny led the pack of nominees with 10 nods in total, followed closely by Jhay Cortez with eight noms while J Balvin, Karol G, and Rauw Alejandro each had seven apiece.
One particularly meaningful award given out was the Extraordinary Evolution award, presented to Mexican singer Christian Nodal. The award is a special honor presented to a young performer who has demonstrated change and accelerated growth as an artist. Meanwhile, Lupita D'Alessio was honored with the Legend Award, which is presented every year to an artist who has attained success and stood the test of time.
