“I’m so pleased to be a part of THE JUNO AWARDS… to be part of Canada’s entertainment industry is a point of pride.” That’s what Captain Kirk himself said after it was announced that he, William Shatner, would be hosting this years Juno Awards. And who better to host than someone who speaks songs so well?
Along with the announcement came also the list of nominees, which have names like Justin Beiber, Avril Lavigne, Drake, Nickleback, and Hedley up for the Fan Choice Award. Biebs, Drake, Lavigne, and Nickleback are also battling for Album of the Year.
Other notable nominees include Feist and City and Colour up for Artist of the year, and Alyssa Reid, the newcomer who made the cut for New Artist of the Year.
Both Feist and City and Colour will also be performing, as well as Deadmau5. No Drake? No Drake.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, and the actual award show will be going down on April 1st 2012! (Yes, on fools day).
