ERIC HORNG, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Eminem, who had the top selling album of 2002, led the way with four American Music Awards, including favorite male artist in both the pop rock and hip hop/R&B categories. Eminem didn't attend the show, but his "8 Mile" costar Mehki Phifer accepted one of the trophies on the rapper's behalf.
MEHKI PHIFER, ACTOR: I'm right here at the podium right now. Hey, this is Eminem on the phone, y'all. Well, what up? What up? What up?

ASHANTI, AMERICAN MUSIC AWARD WINNER: And I just want to say I love my family and everyone in here is just like family.
HORNG: Other winners included Creed for favorite pop rock group and alternative artist, Outcast for favorite hip hop/R&B group, Tim McGraw for male country artist and Sheryl Crow for favorite female pop rock artist. Crow wore a shirt that read "War Is Not The Answer."
SHERYL CROW, AMERICAN MUSIC AWARD WINNER: Peace, peace this year.
