And the Junos. They swept all the awards this year.

I didn't personally care for the Suburbs, but I'm glad to see them sweep the mainstream awards. It's good to see an artist of substance there.

As for the Polaris, the only shame to me is that Arcade Fire don't really need 30 grand, whereas the smaller artists nominated probably could do a LOT for their careers with the money.
