Starbucks fave and allegedly swoonworthy singer-songwriter Feist was the big winner at last night’s Juno Awards–you know, the Grammys of Canada?–sweeping the Single of the Year, Album of the Year, and Pop Album Year categories and taking home the awards for Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year as well. But the fans were not having any of it, handing Michael Bublé his only award of the night through voting on the Juno Web site. Yeah, you tell them what side of the smooth-music coin you like, people of Canada! Full list of winners–which is absent of the words “Avril,” “Lavigne,” and “Celine,” but does have Finger Eleven and Ozzy Osbourne–after the jump.
