Here are all the JUNO Awards given out Saturday night (Hint: That means most of them.)
Because the JUNO telecast on CBC is designed as a prime time mainstream TV program, emphasis is placed on the performances and a tiny handful of awards presentations. The bulk of the trophies is handed out Saturday night at the gala dinner.
A full list of winners can be found here. Here’s the executive summary for rock fans along with the results from some of the bigger categories. The winners are in bold
