Tegan and Sara, Arcade Fire, Drake Lead 2014 Juno Awards Winners

Juno Awards Winner List Tegan Sara Arcade Fire Drake

Tegan and Sara, Arcade Fire, and Drake all won big at the 2014 Juno Awards, the annual celebration of Canadian music. Held at Winnipeg’s MTS Center on Saturday and Sunday, March 29 and 30, the gala also featured a Fan Choice Award win and subsequent booing for Justin Bieber, who did not attend the ceremony, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Past SPIN cover stars Tegan and Sara won three awards, including Group of the Year, Single of the Year for “Closer,” and Pop Album of the Year for Heartthrob. Arcade Fire took home a pair, with Reflektor (one of  SPIN’s 50 Best Albums of 2013winning Album of the Year and Alternative Album of the Year. Drake’s Nothing Was the Same earned Rap Recording of the Year, and singer-songwriter Serena Ryder was named Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year.

Among those top winners, Arcade Fire and Drake didn’t attend the show, which also lost performer Robin Thicke at the last minute to rest his vocal cords. An online petition asked the Juno organizers to rescind his nominations and cancel his performance because of the “blatant sexism, degradation of women and promotion of rape culture” in his controversial song “Blurred Lines.”
