That little chico Pitbull got robbed last night at the BankUnited Center on the campus of the University of Miami. And the entire world watched it happen.

Well, maybe not everyone. But the people who saw Telemundo's broadcast of the Billboard Latin Music Awards know what I'm talking about ... Mr. 305 was nominated for five awards, including Latin Rhythm Airplay Song of the Year ("Bon, Bon") and Latin Rhythm Album of the Year (Armando), but took home nada. Not even an Enrique Iglesias collaboration ("I Like It") could save Armandito from a shutout, which is nuts because Enrique won nine of his 11 categories.

Another big upset: Usher beat Lady Gaga for Crossover Artist of the Year.

Check out the complete list of winners -- or if you're the glass-half-empty type, the complete list of losers -- after the jump.
