VANCOUVER, B.C. - Nickelback has broken through at the 2009 Juno Awards - and then some.
After winning for group of the year earlier in the evening, the Hanna, Alta., rockers followed up by winning the Juno fan choice award.
The group, led by frontman Chad Kroeger, still had a shot at album of the year later in the night.
Nickelback kicked off the awards show by performing "Something In Your Mouth" for a boisterous General Motors Place crowd.
Other winners included Kardinal Offishall, for rap recording of the year and Toronto musician Lights, for new artist of the year.
Dallas Green won songwriter of the year for his side project as City and Colour.
Comedian Russell Peters - hosting the show for a second year in a row - made good on his promise to bruise a few more egos.
He joked about former Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page, who was charged with drug possession last summer and about Sarah McLachlan's marital breakup.
Rock legends, Loverboy, meanwhile, were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
Nickelback стали триумфаторами канадской музыкальной премии
Канадская группа Nickelback стала обладателем главной национальной музыкальной награды Juno Awards в трех номинациях, сообщает официальный сайт премии. Коллектив получил призы в категориях "Лучшая группа", "Выбор слушателей" и "Лучший альбом" — Nickelback были отмечены за свою шестую студийную пластинку "Dark Horse".
Во время церемонии вручения Juno Awards, которая прошла в Ванкувере 29 марта, Nickelback исполнили одну из композиций со своего последнего альбома - "Something in Your Mouth". "Вот почему мы до сих пор не устроились на нормальную работу – все из-за наших поклонников", - пошутил со сцены лид-гитарист Nickelback Райан Пике, когда группа получала Juno Awards в номинации "Выбор слушателей".
Напомним, что Nickelback также претендовали на награды в номинациях "Лучший сингл" и "Лучший продюсер". Однако лучшим синглом была признана композиция "Dangerous" канадского хип-хоп артиста Джейсона Уильяма Харроу, который выступает под псевдонимом Kardinal Offishall. Лучшим продюсером был признан Даниэль Лануа, сотрудничавший с U2, Бобом Диланом, Питером Гэбриэлем и другими известными музыкантами.

Hometown heroes Nickelback came out on top with three awards at the 38th Annual JUNO Awards in Vancouver, B.C.
They kicked off their winning streak Sunday night by taking home Group of the Year.
"It's absolutely amazing," lead singer Chad Kroeger said of their Group of the Year award, and thanked his fans from the leaf-covered stage. This is the fourth time the band earned this title at the JUNOS.
Nickelback were also the first band to perform on the show, getting the party started with an explosive, pyrotechnic performance of their hit song, "Something in Your Mouth."
Known for their fist-pumping anthems and soaring power ballads, the band is made up of brothers Chad Kroeger (lead vocals and guitar) and Mike Kroeger (bass), Ryan Peake (lead guitar) and Daniel Adair (drums).
The group has sold 27 million albums worldwide since their 1996 breakthrough album "Curb." Their JUNO legacy began in 2001, when they were first named Best New Group.
Sunday night the band also picked up the awards for Album of the Year for "Dark Horse" and the JUNO Fan Choice Award, presented by Pepsi.
"This is the good one," lead guitarist Ryan Peake said of the Fan Choice Award. "This is why didn't get a real job. This is why we still don't have real jobs," he joked.
"It's all because of the Canadian fans," he said.
