Feist cleans up at Junos

Leslie Feist completed a storybook homecoming at the Juno Awards Sunday night. The singer/songwriter accomplished a clean sweep, taking home a statue in every category in which she was nominated. In the process, she knocked out musical heavyweights Celine Dion and Avril Lavigne, who were both held Juno-less.

The 32-year-old indie queen will need all her Broken Social Scene bandmates to help her bring the awards home from Calgary: she won Artist of the Year, Single of the Year for 1234, Songwriter of the Year, and both the Pop Album of the Year and Album of the Year awards for her smash hit The Reminder. That makes it 1234....5 awards.

"It's very nice to win it," she said backstage. "I don't know if music is meant to be a competition ... it's just something primal and important and necessary."

Canadian country rock mainstays Blue Rodeo were also multiple award-winners; they were named Group of the Year, won Adult Alternative Album of the Year for their recent disc Small Miracles, and their Christopher Mills-directed clip for C'mon won Video of the Year.

Montreal indie collective Arcade Fire were the only other multiple award winners: they scored Alternative Album of the Year and CD/DVD Artwork Design of the Year.

Halifax rockers Wintersleep were named New Group of the Year while Vancouver crooner Michael Buble won the Juno Fan Choice Award.
