Paula Abdul announced the nominees for this year's "American Music Awards," where Michael Jackson picked up five noms for his 2003 greatest hits collection.

Jackson is eligible because the AMAs go by sales and air play, not based on the year the material may have been released. The late singer is up for Artist of the Year, Pop Rock Male, Pop Rock Album, R&B/Soul Male and R&B/Soul Album.

See the complete list at the AMA site, then back here for video from the event later today, along with more music news, presenters and performers.

The "American Music Awards" air Sunday, November 22 on ABC.
