When we last discussed the Juno Awards back in January, it was with a hopeful spirit about a year that seemed loaded with excitement and things to do. Sadly that nomination post only ended up being a hope about an exciting and fun year because while its surely been a few months loaded with excitement, its not been good at all and has fallen to being more nerve-wracking than anything else. The ceremony to announce the winners of this years Juno Awards was pushed back from its original March based on the increasing dilemma that is the Coronavirus Pandemic and sadly not too much has changed in North America with this problem and so many things are cancelled for the year. The announcements came virtually about these winners so let’s take a look down below.

Artist of the Year:
WINNER – Shawn Mendes
Bryan Adams
Alessia Cara
Tory Lanez
Jessie Reyez

Group of the Year:
WINNER – Loud Luxury
88Glam
Elijah Woods x Jamie Fine
The Reklaws
