Forget an EGOT, if a) we’re giving Patrick Watson’s score some of the credit for The Girl Who Cried Pearls getting the 2026 Oscar for best short film, and b) he wins a Juno Award next week in the adult-alternative category for his album Uh Oh, Watson will accomplish the so-rare-it’s-never-been-done-before POJIA. Which is…
x Polaris Music Prize
x Oscar Award
x Juno Award
x Impact Award (Canadian Sync Awards lifetime achievement)
x ADISQ Award
