WINNIPEG — The first crop of Juno winners was announced Saturday with punky pop songstress Avril Lavigne earning two awards, including the coveted artist of the year.
It has been an outstanding year for the young star, whose second album, Under My Skin, has been a hot-seller around the world, spawning several radio hits including Nobody's Home and Don't Tell Me.
Lavigne, currently on tour in Singapore, also won best pop album, beating out Celine Dion, Fefe Dobson, Ryan Malcolm and Simple Plan.
Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra was also a double Juno winner. The Toronto-based group was nominated for a Grammy earlier this year.
Punk veterans Sum 41 took rock album of the year honours for their CD Chuck. Alexisonfire was named best new group.
One Good Friend, by George Canyon, won best country recording. The singer, from Hopeville, N.S., catapulted to fame thanks to Nashville Star, an Idol-like TV competition.
Hipster darling Feist, from Calgary, won her first Juno in the best alternative album category for Let It Die, a collection of sexy torch songs.
Jazz vocal album was nabbed by audience favourite Diana Krall. The Girl In the Other Room was the singer's first foray into songwriting -- a duty she shared with husband Elvis Costello.
Francophone album, the sole category which relies strictly on sales, went to Marie-Elaine Thibert.
Green Day won best international album for its punk-opera American Idiot. The group inched out powerhouses U2 and Usher.
Bob Rock was named producer of the year for his work on Simple Plan's Still Not Getting Any and Metallica's Some Kind of Monster.
A total of 31 award winners were revealed Saturday. The remaining eight trophies will be handed out Sunday night during the televised portion of the Junos.
Those awards will include best new artist, best rap recording and songwriter of the year.
Also being handed out Sunday will be group of the year, a hotly contested category with Billy Talent, Great Big Sea, Simple Plan, Sum 41 and the Tragically Hip.
