The Junos are a complete joke, but it's never a bad thing to see the Hip nominated.

The Hip really deserve to win all of these and it would be fantastic if they also performed at the Juno's.

Other notables is Mr. Plaskett up for a couple (Adult Alternative Album & Songwriter of The Year) and the Arkells for best new band. Also Bob Rock is up for Michael Buble's album as producer....
But congrats to the Hip, it would be good to win the rock album of year.

Billy Talent are decent, nice guys, not my favourite, but I some of their tunes are good. I'm looking forward to seeing them with Alexisonfire in less than 20 days.

At least the Hip aren't nominated for "Entertainers of the Year" like they were in the early years - the Junos are definitely a joke (they base many of their nominations on sales alone - what about artist integrity versus pandering to the teeny boppers?). Then again, they've awarded The Hip alot and have shown them to more and more fans, so I guess it's alright that they exist...
