Neil Young and Nickelback were among the early Juno winners, each snagging two trophies yesterday at a private industry dinner.

 

Alberta rockers Nickelback, who spent the afternoon signing autographs for thousands of frenzied fans at an event at Pier 21, were named group of the year.

Even though I think Coldplay are leagues ahead of Black Eyed Peas, whatever, lol.

It's kinda stupid to have a tie...

 

Both of them were playing at the event... hummm, I wonder if the organisers didn't want to upset anyone!

Tie....a tie? OMG...can't believe the tied with the Black Eyed Peas :angry:

 

Ok to me they won...and that's all :nice:

Yea, I figured something was up. Usually, if a band is going to come, I think the organizers tell them ahead of time if they've won or not. So when Coldplay was announced to be comming to the award show... I figured they'd won. But then BEP was announced... confusing.. but yea, a tie... Yea, they should have won.

How can it be a tie? I don't understand. Don't think I've ever heard of that at an awards thing. Weird.

 

Well done to them anyways!

Yeah how does that tie thing work?!!

 

Is it cos both of them are booked to turn up so they didn't wanna offend anyone?!!

They tied? What the heck.. since when does one tie in awards. It takes credibility from those Juno's, that's for sure..

 

And I wonder who'll give the acceptance speeches.. BEP better not hog up all the stage time! :laugh4:

That's right Vic!

 

EEEEEEEEEeeeeEEEE! I can't wait to see some of the performance!

yah normallly there arent ties just for all the weird confusion.. this is odd.

 

but hey they won! yay!
