Last night was the APMAs. I got mixed up with the starting times so I missed the red carpet and the first 30 minutes (but there were some technical difficulties). There were some good jokes and performances. I did not like Wezzer. The joke about Motionless in White was really good (about Alex and Jack wearing ore makeup than MIW). Trace Cyrus was annoying and could not understand what a joke was. Whe it came to the awards I was very disappointed. I had voted and I hoped it wasn't going to be like last year when the same bands kept getting all of the awards. For some reason % Seconds of Summer won for best Tumblr fandom. Seriously?!?!?!?! The only thing I can find for them on Tumblr is smut. Every other band has videos, pictures, drawing, mash-ups, etc.. Twenty Pilots desevred that award for than 5sos. And then Jacky Vincent losing to Tony Perry. I know that some people don't like Ronnie but jackie has some real talent and he does his own stuff too. Jacky can really shred. It seemed like at least half of the awards should have gone to another nominee. The philanthrpoic one is an award that anyone could win and it would not matter. They are all good causes. Same with the vocalist. Every single one of them is really good so it didn't matter. Winners are right below.
