THE 2024 JUNO AWARD NOMINEE CEREMONY @ THE CBC BUILDING, TORONTO
FEBRUARY 6, 2024
The atmosphere at the 53rd Juno Awards nomination ceremony was electrifying, brimming with joy and anticipation as Canada’s cherished artists earned nods for our most coveted honours. This year, the excitement reached new heights with the thrilling announcement of the return of multi-platinum Canadian songstress Nelly Furtado to the Juno stage. Not only will she grace us as a host and performer, but she’s also in the running for Dance Recording of the Year.
Set against the beautiful backdrop of Halifax, Nova Scotia, this year’s Junos promise an unforgettable lineup of performances featuring the likes of Josh Ross, Talk, Nelly Furtado, and The Beaches. Leading the charge is Charlotte Cardin, the top nominee, who will captivate audiences with her stellar performance.
Among the standout artists this year, Charlotte Cardin leads with an impressive six nominations spanning various categories, including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year. Not far behind, Toronto’s own Daniel Caesar and Ottawa’s Talk, also known as Nick Durocher, each garnered five nominations, showcasing their exceptional talent and contributions to the Canadian music scene.
A special shoutout goes to Aysanabee for his repeat nomination in the Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year category, extending his recognition to Songwriter of the Year and Alternative Album of the Year for his remarkable work on Here and Now.
Mark your calendars for Sunday, March 24, as the awards ceremony promises to be a night of celebration and recognition. Among this year’s highlights are Tegan and Sara receiving the 2024 Humanitarian Award, rapper Maestro Fresh Wes being inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and Chip Sutherland of Halifax being honored with the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award.
