Although the rapper The Weeknd became a big winner, his success was not the only notable moment. Hosts from actor Will Arnett to Shania Twain gathered together for a basically trouble-free display, showing impressive works and impressive Surprised victory. In some cases, we did not see who was a surprise at all.

Weekend cleaning

With the most nominated award, R&B singer The Weeknd consolidated his position as a leader. But despite his victory night, the artist did not show up.Many other stars accepted their awards via video streaming, but the singer was unexpectedly absent and did not appear in any of his awards, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year after get off work.

Including his victory on the opening night of Friday’s awards ceremony, The Weeknd finally won five out of six nominations. The only award he lost was the Fan’s Choice Award voted by the audience, which went to Sean Mendes.

This means that Justin Bieber, Jessie Reyez and Jessie Reyez and JP Saxe have five nominations behind The Weeknd’s several artists, each of whom only won A victory. Saxe was a bit disappointed. He received these nominations impressively in the first year of the awards ceremony.

Saxe defeated fierce competition in the category he won (Breakthrough Artist of the Year) because TikTok superstars Tate McRae, Powfu and Curtis Waters participated in the competition. Both of them have achieved great success in streaming and album sales, which accounted for 50% of the decision to determine the winner of the category.

Big show

The ceremony kicked off with Justin Bieber’s singing Someone From his new album justice. This is since he and Drake played baby At the 2010 Juno Awards. However, like The Weeknd, the singer did not show up to accept his annual pop album “Juneo”.

Bieber’s performance helps to start showing off in a good posture and sets the tone for what is about to happen. According to the standards of the awards ceremony, Sunday’s Junos includes very few categories: most trophies are awarded on Friday night, so by Sunday, only seven of the show’s 44 main awards remain.

This provided ample time for the two-hour show to host its big-name, albeit pre-recorded, mini-concert.
