WATCH: 2014 Billboard Music Awards, Featuring Michael Jackson Hologram

The 2014 Billboard Music Awards get rolling Sunday night at 8 p.m. The show will be hosted by Ludacris and features an appearance from a hologram of the late Michael Jackson, the subject of some controversy.

The impossibly overrated Imagine Dragons is tied with Lorde for most nominations at a dozen, with Justin Timberlake following up with eleven awards. One Republic, Carrie Underwood, and Ellie Goulding vie for the second annual Milestone Award.

UPDATE: You can watch the full hologram Michael Jackson performance below:
