Amazing AMAs Moments to Remember!

The 2015 American Music Awards are a wrap. Read below for all the winners, and check out some of the show's most dazzling highlights:

Jennifer Lopez knocked out the industry crowd with an extended dance routine set to the tune of 2015's catchiest songs, including Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda." Nicki's reaction is going viral, though her demeanor all night was remarkably subdued compared to her beef with Miley Cyrus at the VMAs.

P. Diddy surprised some by taking a moment to give a shout-out to his famous ex, show hostess-with-the-mostest J.Lo.

In one of the night's most aggressive performances, Demi Lovato nailed the title track from her album "Confident," baring her curves in a '20s "Cabaret"-inspired ensemble. She returned to help Alanis Morissette kill Alanis's iconic tune "You Oughta Know."

Nick Jonas showed off his jack-of-all-trades status by singing a gospel choir-powered medley of his three big hits of 2015 — "Chains, "Jealous," and "Levels" — accompanying himself on the drums. He'd been introduced by brother Joe and Joe's band DNCE, with Joe noting that Nick was an artist he'd followed "his whole life." Joe debuted new blue hair at the festivities.

Meghan Trainor and Charlie Puth knocked everyone's socks off with their big kiss — check it out here!

Introduced by Jared Leto — who noted his band 30 Seconds to Mars had played the Bataclan in the year before the recent terrorist massacre there — Céline Dion warmly paid homage to Paris with an emotional performance of "Hymne à L'Amour," a song made famous by the legendary French singer Edith Piaf.

Harrison Ford received "we're-not-worthy" bows from many in the audience when he emerged to introduce Pentatonix and a 75-piece orchestra in a stunning performance of the world-famous "Star Wars" theme, composed by John Williams.

The night ended with a bang — a big one, thanks to the crowd's enthusiastic Beliebers — as Justin Bieber closed the show with an acoustic performance of his smash hit "What Do You Mean?"; a spectacular, light-driven take on his AMA-winning collaboration with Skrillex and Diplo, "Where Are Ü Now?"; and a "rain"-soaked production number of his "Sorry."
