Everyone nominated for Artist of the Year is a man, as well as every nominee for Tour of the Year, Video of the Year, and four of the five nominees for New Artist of the Year.

It's a cis, male, largely white group of people we're seeing nominated for AMAs this year, which nominee Halsey took notice of and critiqued on Twitter:
