Nickelback kicked off the 2009 JUNO Awards show and ended up walking away with the most—three awards last night for Album of the Year, Group of the Year and JUNO Fan Choice Award. While indie-pop princess, Lights, shone in front of the packed audience at Vancouver’s General Motors Place, winning New Artist of the Year.

The night was full of unique musical collaborations including three of Canada’s hottest young stars Crystal Shawanda, Divine Brown and Serena Ryder, who each performed their smash singles. Bryan Adams performed Walk On By with JUNO Award nominee Kathleen Edwards on violin. As well, folk-rockers Great Big Sea teamed up with Hawksley Workman and Eccodek for the show closer.
