These Stars Had the Best American Music Awards Night Ever, Even Though They Didn't Win
For most of us, the closest we got to Sunday night's American Music Awards was watching it on TV and hashtagging #MileysCat on Twitter. From our vantage point, the awards seemed pretty fun — if you were a winner. Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and more probably had a ball at the show, but if you were one of the passed-over nominees or just a fan in the audience? The AMAs, with their scandal-free performances (well, mostly) and lack of Beyonce to fawn over, likely wasn't all that great.
That is, unless you were one of these six celebrities, none of whom won awards last night but all of whom are apparently BFF with every person you love. Unsurprisingly, they weren't afraid to brag about it. Thanks to Instagram, we got to see all of these "candid" moments, and yeah, we're kind of jealous. Here are six stars who probably had the best night ever at the AMAs, and we'll only try to hate them a little bit.
Kelly Osbourne
On Sunday night, Kelly Osbourne was the Queen of the Humblebrag — except it wasn't so humble. In the first of her AMA photos, the Fashion Police host pulled a Miley with, well, Miley, along with makeup artist Denikia Bedrossian. "Thank god she is finally legal!" Osbourne wrote of the just-turned-21 Cyrus, but we highly doubt this was the first time Osbourne and Cyrus encountered a bottle of champagne.

Thought Miley was the only celebrity Osbourne ran into last night? Think again. First, she hung out with Dave Grohl and "true idol" Joan Jett in the Rock'n'Roll room...

Before finally ending out the night (or at least the Instagrams) with a pic with The Fosters' Maia Mitchell. Kelly Osbourne, we'll just say it now: we're jealous of your life.

Jordin Sparks
No other celebrity may have had quite as much fun at the AMAs as Osbourne, but a couple got pretty close. American Idol alum Jordin Sparks reunited with Jesse McCartney, living the fantasy of '90s girls everywhere.

Heidi Klum
"Look who I found backstage!" Klum captioned this photo, and she looks as happy to we'd expect anyone to look after running into Justin Timberlake.

Lance Bass
The former 'N Sync-er, who hosted an AMA preshow, chatted it up with stars like R. Kelly, Kendrick Lamar and Ariana Grande...

Jenna Ushkowitz
Glee's Jenna Ushkowitz, also a red carpet host, had a casual run-in with one of the biggest stars of the night, who is apparently an old friend. Ushkowitz wrote: "So good to see my girl @ladygaga killing it once again." Because, you know, Gaga is her "girl." Normal.
