Elisapie, Snotty Nose Rez Kids early winners at Juno Awards industry gala
The Saturday evening soiree saw Elisapie's pop covers collection "Inuktitut" pick up adult alternative album, while Rez Kids' sixth record "Red Future" landed rap album of the year. It's their first Juno win.
"I had a good cry walking here," said Darren Metz from Rez Kids in the press room.
"When you work so hard towards something for so long, and then finally get it, all the emotions that you endured throughout that journey just come out."
Other early winners included Tate McRae whose "Exes" was named single of the year. McRae was absent from the Junos because she was booked to appear at a music festival in Brazil.
Elizabeth Lowell Boland won the first songwriter of the year award created for non-performers. She picked up the prize for her work behind the scenes on Beyonce's "Cowboy Carter" album and the Beaches' "Takes One To Know One."
The Calgary-raised Boland pushed for splitting the songwriting Juno category into two awards — performer and non-performer — after seeing the only Juno songwriting trophy consistently won by well-known stage performers.
"I've been fighting for this award," Boland said.
"I chased down people at parties. I was really annoying. I joked that people would run away from me when they saw me at parties, because I wasn't really interested in mingling. I just wanted to change this one little thing.
The Junos hardware was handed out during an industry gala event in Vancouver where prizes in more than 40 categories will be awarded, including single and album of the year, as well as a new Juno recognizing South Asian music.
Other winners included "No Time" by Interplanetary Criminal and SadBoi which earned dance recording of the year. "This But More" by Priori won electronic album.

Sabrina Carpenter ‘Arrests' TWICE Members at Lollapalooza Headlining Set: ‘Are You Guys Single?'
Sabrina Carpenter's signature 'Juno' arrest had TWICE the star power at Lollapalooza over the weekend. During her headlining set at the Chicago festival Sunday night (Aug. 3), the pop star gave the girl group's Momo, Jihyo and Sana a sweet shout-out while 'arresting' them for being beautiful. The playful faux arrests are a nightly tradition on Carpenter's Short n' Sweet Tour, which has previously seen the Grammy winner give handcuffs to everyone from Millie Bobby Brown to Salma Hayek before diving into 'Juno.' More from Billboard Sabrina Carpenter Reveals Full 'Man's Best Friend' Tracklist With Help From a Furry Friend Sabrina Carpenter Lights Up Lollapalooza Headlining Set With Surprise Earth, Wind & Fire Collab TWICE Confirm 2025 Australian Arena Tour Dates 'Damn, we have some beautiful people in this audience tonight, but there are three girls I can't take my eyes off of,' Carpenter said at Lolla as a Jumbotron cameras projected the TWICE ladies on the big screens. 'I was gonna say, 'cause I had to look not once, but twice.' 'Are you guys single, by chance?' continues the singer as Momo, Jihyo and Sana wave and blow kisses. 'Would you guys want to get married, maybe? If I were to give you these handcuffs, then I could marry all three of you, right?' Carpenter went on to perform fan-favorite 'Juno' from her Billboard 200-topping album Short n' Sweet, but not before blowing the three K-pop stars a kiss. The sweet interaction was just one of several memorable moments in the Girl Meets World alum's festival-closing set, with Carpenter also at one point performing 'Let's Groove' and 'September' with special guests Earth, Wind & Fire. TWICE and Carpenter go way back. In 2023, the latter presented the former with the Breakthrough Artist Award at that year's Billboard Women in Music Awards, where she gushed about her love for the girl group on the red carpet. 'I've been following them for quite a long time now,' she told Billboard at the time. 'I'm obsessed with them, I'm just a really huge fan. They're all so beautiful, they look like dolls. They're gorgeous.' Carpenter is now gearing up to release her new LP, Man's Best Friend, on Aug. 29. The project was led by Billboard Hot 100-topping single 'Manchild,' and just a couple of days prior to her Lolla set, the star unveiled the album's full tracklist.

Owner Heartbroken After Puppy Met Childhood Family Dog—Didn't Go To Plan
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A puppy's heartwarming effort to bond with a senior dog has charmed viewers online, as thousands watched her determined attempts to win over her older housemate. The video, shared by @junothecavapoo on social media, shows Juno—a young cavapoo—desperately trying to befriend Lola, a senior Labrador, during a two-week stay. The clip has garnered nearly 1,000 likes and over 15,600 views. "Unfortunately and unsurprisingly it isn't the happy ending we had hoped for," the owner told Newsweek. "Although Lola became more tolerant of Juno and at points we did even catch them sleeping on the same bed, Juno took her chances when Lola was already sleeping and as she's deaf, got away with it!, I can't say they became besties." The owner explained that despite Lola's indifference, Juno remained enthusiastic throughout their time together. A split image of Juno the Cavapoo trying to win over the affection of Lola.

Her tail didn't stop wagging for her whole stay, and after Lola left, Juno continued to search for her around the house for several days. "Auntie Lola has come for a two week holiday and I'm determined to make her like me," the owner fittingly captioned the video. In the now-viral video, Juno can be seen joyfully wagging her tail, attempting to snuggle up with Lola in her bed, and even rolling a ball toward her in a hopeful gesture of play. Introducing a puppy to a senior dog can be challenging. Such introductions should be handled gradually and with patience, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). Older dogs may not be as tolerant of high energy and enthusiasm, and it's important to give them space and time to adjust. Short, supervised interactions and separate resting areas can help ease the transition, along with plenty of positive reinforcement when the older dog responds calmly. TikTok viewers were touched by Juno's efforts. "Noooo, the little roll of the ball broke my heart! That puppy is so cute," said one user. "Awww how adorable I'm sure they will love each other," commented another. "Awhh the ball rolling," added Angelique. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Best Vs. Worst Movie Parents
Movie parents can truly make or break a character's journey — or sometimes even the entire plot. Whether they're supporting their children every step of the way, or failing them so horrifically that it deserves a sentence, movie parents have a serious impact. So today I'm breaking down the good, the bad, and the ugly. We're talking about movie parents that are so great, you want to crawl into the screen and ask them to become adopted. BUT, we're also talking about the parents that are so awful, they deserve to go to jail. Or at the very least, movie jail. Let's start with the best movie parents: Dill and Rosemary Penderghast from Easy A make parenting look easy. These two are cool parents that are actually cool. They support Olive in her times of need, without ever stepping too far. They're the ultimate movie parents. Molly and Arthur Weasley from Harry Potter are the magical duo that we all love and deserve. They raised 7 kids, welcomed Harry like he was their own, and somehow still made time to knit sweaters. Elastigirl from The Incredibles protected her kids (including a newborn), helped save the world, and literally stretched herself thin. We love a multitasking queen. Tess Coleman from Freaky Friday may have had a mother-daughter fight that let to a body ultimately it was out of love. She's a rockstar and plus, she's Jamie Lee Curtis, what can we say? Mel Horowitz from Clueless was tough on the outside, but a total softie on the inside. His iconic line, "You divorce wives, not children," sums up his dedication to Cher. He shows up and always looks out for her. Mac and Brenda MacGuff from Juno handled teenage pregnancy like bosses. They support Juno throughout her journey, all while being funny too. Tom and Kate Baker from Cheaper by the Dozen somehow had the patience to have 12 children, and raised them with patience and love. Their family dynamic was very chaotic and a little messy, but they always figured things out in the end. Donna Sheridan from Mamma Mia raised her daughter on her own while running a hotel in Greece. Sure, keeping the father's identity a secret was complicated, but Donna's main goal was always keeping her daughter safe! Morticia and Gomez Addams from The Addams Family were glamorous and fiercely family-oriented. Honestly for a family that's "creepy and kooky," this parenting duo is pretty wholesome. Daniel Hillard from Mrs. Doubtfire may have done a bit much to see his children, but his heart was in the right place. Did he need to dress up as a nanny? Perhaps not, but he just really loved his kids, okay? Edna and Wilbur from Hairspray believed in Tracy from the very start — their unwavering support helped her blossom into a confident, successful dancer. And now, the everything you just read, because these parents are the complete opposite. When I say most of them should be behind bars, I mean it. Harry and Zinnia Wormwood from Matilda were neglectful, hostile, and downright cruel. Matilda was lucky she was able to escape from these two nasties. Mr. Perry from Dead Poets Society pushed his son to his breaking point just for the sake of control and prestige. His relentless pressure had many consequences that will forever break our hearts. Margaret White from Carrie in both the original AND the reboot deserve serious jail time. Shaming her daughter for her period? Locking her in a closet for hours at a time? Literally attempting to kill her? Absolutely unforgivable. Kate and Peter McCallister from Home Alone are the final boss of neglectful parents. They forgot their son at home for a family vacation not once, but twice. That's no whoopsie, that's criminal negligence right there. Mr. and Mrs. Lisbon from The Virgin Suicides controlled and isolated their daughters to devastating levels. Their choices had some, well let's just say upsetting consequences. Mother Gothel from Tangled wasn't even Rapunzel's real mom, but she raised her like the most twisted way possible. She locked her in a tower, all so she could use Rapunzel's magic hair for eternal youth. She's a classic gaslighting narcissist. Some movie parents are absolute legends, while others just don't have what it takes 💔💔 Let us know your fav or most hated movie parents in the comments!
