The star-studded awards program, hosted by popular comic Cedric the Entertainer, aired on ABC television affiliates Tuesday, November 22nd. In the celebrity gift room, Youngblood Timepieces, Inc. was the luminary. The company's reputation and talk of its exquisitely designed watches preceded Oakland, CA founders, Paul Youngblood and Patrick Martin, into the room where some privileged celebrities were presented with gift bags that included Youngblood Timepieces' stylish and superbly unique wristwatches. Ashanti, BabyFace, Cedric the Entertainer, Ginuwine, Hillary Duff, Serena Williams, Cal Ripken, Jr., Chingy, Los Lonely Boys, Sean Paul, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith were among the celebrities presented with Youngblood Timepieces at AMA Awards.

Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys sported his Youngblood Timepiece throughout the evening. Though Paula Abdul had previously received a Young Timepiece at the WMA, she obtained two more at the AMA. When presented with his watch, American Idol's Randy Jackson inquired about the black and red watch models because he had previously heard about them from "sources."
