Juno Awards 2010

[scielle]

Juno nominations being announced as we speak.
Album of the Year category pits Diana against Billy Talent, Johnny Reid, Justin Bieber, and Michael Buble.
Diana is also up for Artist of the Year (along with Jann Arden, Michael Buble, Johnny Reid, K’naan), and the usual Vacal Jazz category.

Great news, thanks scielle!

This event prompted a tweet and Facebook comment on Diana's official accounts:

DianaKrall: Thanks for this year's Juno award nominations! http://bit.ly/dgy6lF

Don't know what the criteria are for Artist of the Year are, but if they're based on the totality of her work this year, not QN alone, she certainly seems deserving! Not that we're biased or anything

Diana came up empty this year

Probably a good thing. Having the same person win these every year cheapens the award. Plus I personally feel QN is her weakest album in years. Besides, I'm happy for those who won, especially K'Naan who got the Best Artist award - he's the real deal, and I'm a fan. All the best to him.
