# 2024 MAMA Awards

The 2024 MAMA Awards was an awards ceremony held on November 21 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California and on November 22 and 23 at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. The event was organized by CJ ENM through Mnet. This was the first time the United States hosted the ceremony and the first time it was held outside Asia.
The ceremony's theme was "Big Blur: What is Real?", reflecting the blurred lines between music, culture, and individual preferences. Park Bo-gum hosted the US part of the ceremony while Kim Tae-ri hosted the second night of the ceremony in Japan.
