Even though I wasn’t there and my report won’t be half as exciting as the play by-play, I decide to post the winners from the JUNO Gala that was held last night in our nation’s capital of Ottawa Ontario.
While my lover Drake was a no-show to accept his award, The Sheepdogs took home two awards for New Group and Rock Album. They know how to keep a crowd entertained!
If you were watching the award updates on Twitter last night, the JUNO Award’s Social Media Team, Sirius Canada, and Eric Alper did a fabulous job reporting the dinner ceremony as it happened. Thanks so much!
Don’t forget to follow @Trina_stewart and @christinauntold for the backstage play-by-play! We are participating with CTV and Bell Media via the Digital Media Room.
