After all the previous GBS Juno nominations in the past, and to not win one award yet, I am somewhat pessimistic, but hopefully the Juno committee will finally see that Great Big Sea is worthy of a Juno Award and that this year you'll win it!! You by's deserve it and are way overdue to get one!

I'm with Steve on this one. GBS is definitely worthy of a Juno. Hopefully this year is the year!

As much as I wish Juno awards were awarded based on talent, they are purely chosen by record sales. (Which explains why Nickelback is even in this category...ridonkulous). I know I bought my GBS vote. Let's hope many others did as well.

If Ladida is correct and Junos are awarded based on record sales...I've bought my vote (twice...I misplaced my first cd and had to buy another and then actually found the first one...(lol)), plus one vote for two of my nieces and one for my best friend.  Hey...they all wanted the cd and dvd, what is a girl to do??

Boys...congrats on the nomination, the band is phenomenal and deserves not only the award but all the accolades that goes along with it!!

BTW -- The Juno website states the awards are going to be on Sunday, March 29, 2009...not Saturday, March 28, 2009...

what? based on record sales? Fantastic, I'm going to buy at least ten copies (hey, you always need spares and presents, right?)
Fingers crossed and congratulations on the nomination!

Congrats and good luck!  I would say, without reservation, that Fortune's Favour is one of your best albums - not that any of your albums fall short of spectacular!
