2011 Juno Awards - winners


The 40th Annual Juno Awards for Canadian music took place this weekend in Toronto, with 32 awards presented in a non-broadcast portion on Saturday night and the final 8 awards presented tonight. The ceremony was hosted by Toronto rapper Drake. He had led with six nominations but was surprisingly shut out altogether.

Montreal band Arcade Fire continued their winning streak (which began at the Grammy Awards and continued into the Brit Awards) by winning four awards tonight. They won Album of the Year, Group of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, and Alternative Album of the Year.

Rock legend Neil Young was also a multiple winner. He won Artist of the Year to go with the Adult Alternative Album of the Year Award he won yesterday and his previously announced Allan Waters Humanitarian Award. Teen favourite Justin Beiber also won two awards. He won Pop Album of the Year and the Fan Choice Award. He didn't attend the ceremony but sent his thanks by video link.

Shania Twain was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. She was introduced with a speech by Bryan Adams. Twain became emotional in her acceptance and spoke about her pride in the Canadian music scene, saying "I'm really so proud of Canada's talent. I sit here tonight in the audience, and I watch these amazing artists up here on the stage, world-class talent, songwriters, singers, performers – we should be proud of these people. They're just blowing me away."

Live performers during the ceremony included Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, Tokyo Police Club, Sarah McLachlan, Chromeo and Down With Webster.
