Here are the winners from Saturday night’s Juno Awards gala
Like all music awards programs, the Junos broadcast is about putting together a mass appeal mainstream prime time TV show. The Junos like a nice, tight two-hour broadcast, something that’s in stark contrast to other bloated programs like the Grammys.
As a result, only six awards make the broadcast. That’s all that can fit within the framework of all the performances and tributes. All the other awards–dozens of ’em–are handed out the night before at a big gala event.
You can find all the winners here, but here are the results in the categories for people who read this website probably care the most about.
