Adele’s single Hello was named favourite song of the year, while Bieber won favourite male singer, and Lawrence the favourite female actress award.

The trio were not present at the ceremony at The Forum in Los Angeles, so managed to avoid the deluge of brightly-coloured gunge, a regular feature at the show.

Country singer Blake Shelton, who hosted the ceremony, was not so lucky and was doused in goo as he concluded his duties, while girl group Fifth Harmony were also covered in gunge as they collected their award for favourite music group.

Inside Out star Amy Poehler was named favourite voice from an animated movie for her performance as Joy.

Collecting her orange blimp award, she said: “I’m so happy to have been in a movie that talked about how funny our feelings can be and how OK it is to be both happy and sad at the same time.”
