Treble Charger, Our Lady Top Canadian Music Awards

Canadian rock bands Treble Charger and Our Lady Peace were the big winners on Sunday as the MuchMusic Awards, Canada’s music video awards, were handed out in Toronto.

Homegrown sensation Avril Lavigne picked up the trophy for best international video by a Canadian for her single, “Sk8er Boi,” and country star Shania Twain, who was raised in Timmins, Ontario, picked up the MuchMoreMusic Award for her “Up!” video.

But both Canuck divas were overshadowed by two dual-winning rock bands: Treble Charger grabbed two awards – best rock video and best director – for the single “Hundred Million,” and Our Lady Peace grabbed the best video and best cinematography trophies for one of their singles, “Innocent.”

Other award winners included Sean Paul, who earned the best international media for an artist for “Gimme The Light,” and rock band the White Stripes, who marched off with the best international video for a group for “Seven Nation Army.”

The 2003 MuchMusic Video Awards aired live across Canada on TV stations belonging to the Toronto-based Chum group.
