STARRING

Paramount+ today announced that Golden Globe® nominee Demi Moore will star in the highly anticipated original drama series LANDMAN as a series regular. Moore will play Cami, wife to one of the most powerful oil men in Texas and a friend of Tommy Norris, played by Oscar® winner and series lead Billy Bob Thornton. Co-created by Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, LANDMAN is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions exclusively for Paramount+.

Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, LANDMAN is a modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs. Based on the notable 11-part podcast “Boomtown,” the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.

Moore has proven herself to be one of the industry’s most accomplished performers, lending her talents to an array of revered films and television both in front of and behind the camera. The actress set a record in 1995 when she became the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, a testament to her star power and box office appeal. Most recently, Moore can be seen in the second season of Ryan Murphy’s anthology series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans as socialite Ann Woodward, a former showgirl and radio actress who was infamously accused of murdering her husband in 1955. The actress will soon be seen in Coralie Fargeat’s first studio feature, The Substance, alongside Margaret Qualley. Moore’s acting career took off in the late 1980’s when she starred in St. Elmo’s Fire. She then went on to star in such iconic films as About Last Night…, Ghost, A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal, The Scarlet Letter, Disclosure and G.I. Jane. Success poured into the following years, with Moore consistently in well-grossing films including Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, Bobby and Margin Call among many others. She produced and lent her voice to QCode’s podcast Dirty Diana, which is being adapted into a series that Moore will star in. In 2019, she added New York Times Best Seller to her lengthy list of credits with her memoir Inside Out.

In addition to Thornton and Moore, the series stars Ali Larter (The Last Victim), Michelle Randolph (1923), Jacob Lofland (Joker 2), Canadian Kayla Wallace (When Calls the Heart), James Jordan (Yellowstone), Mark Collie (Nashville) and Paulina Chávez (The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia).

Currently filming in and around Fort Worth, Texas, LANDMAN is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Christian Wallace, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay. Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch, for Imperative Development LLC, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt, for Texas Monthly, also executive produce. Peter Feldman serves as co-executive producer.

The series is the latest addition to Sheridan’s growing slate on Paramount+, which includes 1923, 1883, SPECIAL OPS: LIONESS, MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN, TULSA KING and LAWMEN: BASS REEVES.

Today, The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) announced the nominees and the next wave of performers for The 53rd Annual JUNO Awards at a press conference attended by industry notables and media inside the CBC’s Canadian Broadcasting Centre, in downtown Toronto. This year’s host, Canadian pop icon Nelly Furtado also made a special surprise appearance to speak with guests and celebrate the 2024 nominees. This year’s winners will be revealed in Halifax, Nova Scotia at the JUNO Opening Night Awards Presented by Music Canada on Saturday, March 23 and The JUNO Awards Broadcast on Sunday, March 24, live on CBC.

2024 JUNO Awards Performers

Josh Ross

TikTok JUNO Fan Choice nominee and rising country star Josh Ross will make his JUNO Awards debut with a harmonic performance showcasing his renowned pop-rock-infused style. The Nashville-based artist’s take on love, work, and play is one often documented through his own whirlwind experiences. His recent single, “Ain’t Doin’ Jack” is up to 26 million streams since its release and the certified Platinum radio single “Trouble” hit #1 at Canadian Country Radio with over 122 million global streams. This past year Ross made his inaugural performance at the Grand Ole Opry, won Artist of the Year at the 2023 Canadian Country Music Awards where he also performed his hit “Trouble,” and will finish his sold-out tour next month with its final stop in Toronto.

Karan Aujla, the British Columbia-based singer, rapper and songwriter nominated for TikTok JUNO Fan Choice and Breakthrough Artist of the Year* will join the revered lineup of Canadian musical excellence in Halifax. Hitting the highest spot for a Punjabi artist ever on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, he’s also making a name for himself globally combining traditional Punjabi with pop, hip-hop and R&B influences to captivate audiences around the world. Aujla’s debut album, BacTHAfuKUP (B.T.F.U.), solidified his place as an ambassador of Punjabi music worldwide, with a hundred million streams across streaming platforms, and #6 placement on Spotify’s Global Chart and in 2021 was dubbed India’s most prominent artist. Karan is approaching 3 billion views on YouTube, has garnered over one billion audio streams, and 7.5 million Spotify monthly listeners.

He also begins touring across North America this month with several Canadian stops.

These artists join previously announced performances from The Beaches, Charlotte Cardin, Nelly Furtado and this year’s Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee Maestro Fresh Wes, who will be honoured during a special moment presented by TD Bank Group.

2024 Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award

It was also announced that Halifax’s own esteemed industry veteran, entertainment lawyer and artist manager Chip Sutherland will receive this year’s Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award. The distinguished honour recognizes individuals whose work has significantly impacted the growth and development of the Canadian music industry. The award is named after the legendary Canadian publisher and co-founder of The JUNO Awards. Sutherland was born in Montreal and grew up in Belleville, Ontario before moving to the East Coast.

After graduating from Dalhousie’s Schulich School of Law in 1988, Sutherland continued to pursue his love of music as the drummer for pop-rock group BlackPool, while simultaneously starting his law practice. Soon after he altered his path to incorporate his passion for music, beginning by helping his friends in the band Sloan negotiate their first record deal and becoming their manager. Sutherland’s support and influence have been integral to the success and development of countless Canadian musicians including Feist, Sloan, The Rankin Family, Alvvays, and Mustafa as a manager and many more artists as a lawyer.

Sutherland has shown enormous leadership and been a pivotal member of the Canadian music industry throughout his career. He joined the board of CARAS as its first-ever director from Atlantic Canada, playing a role in creating the MusiCounts education charity, as well as designing and spearheading the Radio Starmaker Fund as its Executive Director, a role he has held since 2005. Under his stewardship, the Starmaker Fund has distributed $170 million over the past 23 years and continues to be a key component of the music industry funding ecosystem in Canada. In 2012 Sutherland was asked by legendary music industry lawyer Donald Passman to co-author a Canadian edition of his book “All You Need to Know about the Music Business” to provide artists with the knowledge and insight to help navigate the intricacies of the Canadian market.

The award will be presented to Sutherland at the JUNO Opening Night Awards Presented by Music Canada on Saturday, March 23 at the Halifax Convention Centre in Halifax, NS.

Previously announced special award recipients include Tegan and Sara who will be honoured with the prestigious 2024 Humanitarian Award for their enormous charitable achievements. Academy Award®-nominated actor, writer, producer, director, and Halifax native, Elliot Page, will present the honour live on The JUNO Awards Broadcast.

The celebrations commence on Thursday, March 21, culminating with The JUNO Awards Broadcast on Sunday, March 24. The 53rd Annual JUNO Awards, hosted by Canadian pop icon, Nelly Furtado and produced by Insight Productions (a Boat Rocker company), will broadcast and stream live across Canada from Scotiabank Centre in Halifax at 8 p.m. ET/9 p.m. AST on CBC TV, CBC Gem, CBC Radio One, CBC Music, CBC Listen, and globally at CBCMusic.ca/junos and CBC Music’s YouTube page.
