Comments Off on Drake Receives 4 Juno Nominations
No surprise here. Drake is continuing to take the music world by storm. The former Degrassi star has received 4 Juno nominations, trailing only Michael Buble for the top spot. His song “Best I Ever Had” has been nominated for “Single of the Year.” He is also nominated for “New Artist of the Year,” and a double nomination in the category of “Rap Recording of the Year” for his debut EP So Far Gone and the collaborative track “Still Fly.” We’re confident that Drake might be taking home a few trophies. The Juno Awards take place on Sunday, April 18th in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Check out the official website for a complete list of nominees.

Comments Off on No TCA Nominations for Degrassi This Year (Yet)
The first wave of Teen Choice Award nominations were announced today with Degrassi notably missing from the list. Even The Secret Life of the American Teenager (AKA Degrassi Jr. lmao) got a few nominations. Shenae Grimes’ 90210 did well, getting several nominations. Although Shenae herself didn’t get any, a couple of her co-stars did.
Degrassi has already won 2 Teen Choice Awards in recent years. Additional nominees are expected to be announced soon. Check out the TCA Website for all the details.
