The 2024 JUNO Awards are taking place this weekend in Halifax, NS, and while the big ceremony is tomorrow evening (March 24), most of the prizes were actually handed out today.
Breakout pop star Tate McRae won two of the night's most high-profile prizes: Single of the Year (for "greedy") and Artist of the Year. Other multiple award winners include TOBi, Aysanabee, producer Shawn Everett, and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, all of them winning two JUNOS.
Other winners include Feist (Adult Alternative Album of the Year for Multitudes), Charlotte Cardin (Pop Album of the Year for 99 Nights), the Beaches (Rock Album of the Year for Blame My Ex), Colin Stetson (Instrumental Album of the Year for When we were that what wept for the sea), Daniel Caesar (Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year for NEVER ENOUGH), William Prince (Contemporary Roots Album of the Year for Stand in the Joy), Allison Russell (Music Video of the Year for "Demons") and Bambii (Electronic Album of the Year for INFINITY CLUB).
