Tough crowd, eh? Justin Bieber, once the darling of fellow Canadians, got booed at the Junos, the country's music awards, on Sunday night.
The pop phenom, while not attending the Juno Awards in Winnipeg, earned the Juno Fan Choice Award.
But when the troubled musician's name was announced, a surprising mix of cheers and audible boos greeted his win inside Winnipeg's MTS Center.

Other Juno prize winning included the breakthrough group of the year award going to A Tribe Called Red, an Ottawa-based band that blends electronic and First Nations music.
"To native youth, this moment right here proves that any goals you have in life, they’re completely attainable, so aim high," A Tribe Called Red said when accepting their Juno trophy.
The album of the year went to indie heroes Arcade Fire for Reflektor, who also won for alternative album of the year.
And the breakthrough artist of the year is Brett Kissel, while Bruno Mars won the international album of the year for Unorthodox Jukebox.
Another highlight of the night was Randy Bachman, Fred Turner, Robbie Bachman and Blair Thornton of Bachman-Turner-Overdrive coming on stage in Winnipeg to be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
