Everything you missed at the 2024 Juno Awards opening night

From Begonia's moving In Memoriam performance to Tobi shouting out Canadian rappers, here are the most unforgettable moments of the evening. The 2024 Juno Opening Night Awards was a celebratory evening filled with incredible music and great speeches. In total, 42 awards were given out on Saturday night, including big wins for Aysanabee, Tate McRae, the Beaches and New West. There were also performances by Jah'Mila, Lili-Ann De Francesco and Begonia.

Tobi later picked up a second Juno for rap album/EP of the year — his fourth ever — and seamlessly continued his speech: "We made this album with a lot of love for humanity, and for the marginalized people of the world. I want to say thank you to my producer, Alex Goose, and I actually want to dedicate this award to his father, who transitioned while we were making the album.

"I need to say first of all that Toronto's underground is so special, I've been all around the world and there's nothing that compares to my city, the real city. Queer, Caribbean immigrants, there's so many women making music that you don't know about, you need to know about them … the Canadian music industry needs the future, you need to do your research."

Backstage, Jah'Mila discussed her star-studded performance, confidently telling reporters, "I think we killed it!" Nominated for reggae recording of the year, she reflected on the future of the genre, saying, "It's alive here in Canada and it will continue to be alive thanks to artists like Omega Mighty, Ammoye, Exco Levi.

After watching plenty of artists get played off the stage all night, Joel Wood, winner of the Juno for traditional Indigenous artist or group, had a succinct speech: "I don't have a speech, I just came for the food."
