Nickelback, Neil Young and The Tragically Hip were double winners Saturday night at the 2006 Juno Awards in Halifax.

Alberta rockers Nickelback were named group of the year, and they snagged rock album of the year for All the Right Reasons, which debuted at No. 1 in Canada and the U.S.

Young, who was born in Toronto and raised in Winnipeg, beat out Nickelback for best producer. The legendary rocker's Prairie Wind, which saw him return to his country-rock roots, won best adult alternative album.

Young now has five career Junos. He is also nominated for best songwriter, which will be presented Sunday. His competition includes Ron Sexsmith, Joel Plaskett, Arcade Fire and Kathleen Edwards.

The Tragically Hip received honours for best music DVD of the year for Hipeponymous. The group's career retrospective project also won best artwork design.

A total of 32 awards were won Saturday in Halifax. The remaining seven trophies will be handed out Sunday during a two-hour prime-time TV event on CTV beginning at 7 p.m.

Coldplay and Black Eyed Peas, who are scheduled to perform Sunday, shared international album of the year honours.

The Toronto-based Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra also won two awards. They were named best large ensemble classical and snapped up best children's album.

Crooner Michael Buble took home pop album of the year for It's Time, beating out Canadian Idol alumni Kalan Porter and Theresa Sokyrka.

Diana Krall won vocal jazz album of the year for her seasonal work Christmas Songs, while Jane Bunnett's Radio Guantanamo won best contemporary jazz album.

B.C. native Daniel Powter was named new artist of the year, beating out Divine Brown, Jonas, Skye Sweetnam and Martha Wainright.

Powter's popularity has grown since Coca-Cola picked up his song Bay Day last year for a commercial in France. His self-titled album has sold more than one million records in Europe and will be released in the U.S. later this month.

Jason McCoy's Road Hammers won for best country recording, while Corb Lund's Hair In My Eyes Like a Highland Steer won roots album of the year.

In the urban categories, Somalian-born, Toronto-raised rapper K'Naan won best rap recording for The Dusty Foot Philosopher, while Shawn Desman won R&B recording for Back For More.

Pamela Anderson hosts Sunday's gala, which includes performances by Coldplay, Black Eyed Peas, Nickelback, Bryan Adams, Michael Buble, Bedouin Soundclash and Broken Social Scene.

Nickelback led this year's pack with six Juno nominations, followed by Buble and Krall with five each.
