Johnny Reid, Shania Twain Honored at 2011 Juno Awards
Canada's Juno Awards were held last night (March 27) in Toronto, with some of the most successful artists in the United States proving their international appeal.
Johnny Reid (pictured left) was nominated in four categories, including the prestigious Artist of the Year, which went to Neil Young. He took home the trophy for Country Album of the Year, beating out an all-star cast of nominees, including Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Dean Brody, Deric Ruttan and Gord Bamford.
Country stars Lady Antebellum and Taylor Swift were also nominated for a Juno Award for International Album of the Year, with the award going to pop singing sensation Katy Perry. But perhaps the night's biggest honor went to Ontario native Shania Twain, who was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame during the ceremony.
Montreal-based rock band Arcade Fire were the big winners of the night, taking home four trophies, including Album of the Year. Justin Bieber, who was nominated in four categories, won two Juno Awards, both for Pop Album and Fan's Choice.
