The 2007 Juno Awards


The Junos are usually presented to Canadian Musical artists and bands. Winners are chosen by members of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences or, depending on the award, a panel of experts or actual record sales. New members of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame are also inducted as part of the awards ceremony.

This year's show was hosted by pop artist Nelly Furtado in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and we think she did a good job. Furtado also dominated the show by winning five Junos. "I just hand it to all the Canadian artists. This is for everybody -- old, new, up and coming, the legends," Furtado said as she accepted the trophy for fan choice. "I'm just happy to be here and humbled."

Toronto-based band Billy Talent was the only other multiple winner, taking trophies for group of the year and rock album of the year.

Shockingly, K-OS didn't win even though he was nominated five times.

I tuned in for the first half of the show and didn't really like the way Nelly was hosting the show. Though she tried to pull it off...i didn't buy it. Looks so fake. Oh, and feel bad for KOS.

I missed the show. Hopefully it will be aired again on much music.
