Chris Brown won the American Music Award for favorite pop/rock male artist in Los Angeles Sunday night.

Also nominated in the category were Kid Rock and Usher.

"I just want to thank first and foremost all the fans that supported me from Day 1," Brown said upon accepting his award.

The prize was presented by socialite-actress Paris Hilton and hip-hop artist T-Pain, who put his arm around Hilton and told the crowd she wasn't single any more and that they were witnessing a "new beginning."

"In your face corporate America," he declared.

Hilton recently broke up with her musician boyfriend Benji Madden.

The 36th annual AMA show in Los Angeles featured performances by New Kids on the Block and Taylor Swift.
