Celine Dion, Michael Bublé and Avril Lavigne didn’t stand a chance for the artist of the year prize at this year’s Junos.

Toronto’s Feist took home the award as well as songwriter of the year at a pre-ceremony gala held on Saturday night in Calgary.

The rest of the awards will be handed out in traditional award show fashion for the viewing public on Sunday night.

Feist is up for three more Junos at Sunday’s show including single, album and pop album of the year, CBC.ca reports.

The 32-year-old musician, born Leslie Feist, will have to add the Junos to the many accolades she’s already accumulated this year. She’s got four Grammy nominations and a Brit Award nod for best international female under her belt. The difference with the Junos, however, is that Feist is actually taking home some trophies.
