Juno Awards of 2007

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Juno Awards of 2007 were hosted in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada on the weekend ending 1 April 2007. These ceremonies honoured music industry achievements in Canada during most of 2006.

The telecast ceremonies of the major awards originated from the Credit Union Centre. Host Nelly Furtado was also the most successful artist this year, winning in five categories: Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, Juno Fan Choice Award, Pop Album of the Year and Single of the Year.

CTV originally planned to provide a tape-delayed broadcast from 22:00 Eastern Daylight Time to accommodate an episode of the American version of The Amazing Race. However, the network relented due to opposition over the late timing, and scheduled the broadcast live from Ontario and eastward (19:00-21:00 Eastern) and tape delayed in western provinces (21:00-23:00 local time in British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, 19:00-21:00 in Alberta). Quickly afterwards, the network made yet another change, allowing Saskatchewan viewers to watch the ceremony live (17:00 Central Standard) in addition to its previously-scheduled timeslot. [1][2]

The non-televised Juno Gala Dinner and Awards ceremony was conducted at Teacher's Credit Union Place.[3]PDF (55.7 KiB) At this event, Tom Jackson received the 2007 Humanitarian Award [4]PDF (46.2 KiB) and Montreal-based music business veteran Donald K. Tarlton received the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award.[5]PDF (45.1 KiB) Grégory Charles, a Quebec-based musician, hosted this gala.[6]PDF

  • Album of the Year
