The Black Eyed Peas swept the board at the American Music Awards last night.

The Black Eyed Peas were named Favorite Group twice, in the rap/hip-hop and soul/rhythm and blues categories. They also won Favorite Album in the rap/hip-hop section for 'Monkey Business'.

Although the Black Eyed Peas were not present at the event, which was held at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium, they thanked their fans via a video link "for keeping hip-hop progressive and pushing it forward".

Other big winners at the ceremony - presented by surprise presenter Britney Spears - included the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who were named Favorite Alternative Artist in the adult contemporary category and Favorite Band in the pop/rock category.

Kelly Clarkson walked away with two accolades for Best Female, pop/rock, and Favourite Artist, adult contemporary.

Jamie Foxx, Beyonce Knowles and Nelly Furtado all thrilled the crowd with spectacular performances.
