Selena Gomez sang "Wolves" with DJ Marshmello, Alessia Cara and DJ Zedd performed a stripped down version of their dance track "Stay" and Hailee Steinfeld joined DJ Alesso, country duo Florida Georgia Line and musician Watt for "Let Me Go." Korean boy band BTS garnered some of the loudest screams from the audience as they performed "DNA" on a neon-lit stage. Linkin Park was named best alternative rock artist, a bittersweet win for the band after the July suicide of frontman Chester Bennington. The band dedicated the win to Bennington and "his memory, his talent, his sense of humour, to his joy."

The 18th death anniversary of Poet Sufia Kamal, founding president of Bangladesh Mahila Parishad and a pioneer of Bengali women's emancipation, is being observed on Monday.

Different social and cultural organisations have chalked out various programmes to observe the day in a befitting manner.

Leaders and activists of Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote along with noted cultural personalities will pay tributes to the poet by placing floral wreaths at her grave at Azimpur Graveyard in the morning.

A memorial meeting to be organised by Social Protection Committee, a platform consisting of 72 social, human rights and development organisations, will be held at the auditorium of Bangladesh Mahila Parishad at 3:00 pm.

Sufia Kamal was also instrumental in naming the first women's dormitory of Dhaka University as Rokeya Hall after the name of Begum Rokeya, who was her own inspiration.

During the Liberation War in 1971, she worked for helping women hurt during the war.

She also campaigned to bring into justice those Pakistani officials whom the Bangladeshis considered war criminals.

Born on June 20, 1911, Sufia Kamal was awarded the Bangla Academy Award for Literature (1962), Lenin Centenary Jubilee Medal (1970) from the Soviet Union, Ekushey Padak (1976), Czechoslovakia Medal (1986), Jatiya Kabita Parishad Award (1995), Begum Rokeya Medal (1996), Deshbandhu CR Das Gold Medal (1996) and Independence Award (1997) for her works.
