So the Boston Music Awards came and went this year, much like they do every year – with questions flying over the nomination process as well as the winner selection process. While there were a few gross oversights as usual, this year there were some great local bands nominated and there seemed to be more of a connection to the city with the nominees than in past years, where the link has been tenuous at best. There were quite a few PGB favorites nominated – click here for the full nominee list. There were a few interesting choices for winners – like a Rhode Island band winning Album of the Year at the BOSTON music awards, and one of the main sponsors of the event also winning Humanitarian of the Year (don’t get me wrong, both are certainly deserving, just seemed like somewhat interesting choices considering the circumstances involved). Regardless, these are certainly esteemed awards to win, and this year’s winners clearly have great things in store for their careers. Congrats to all!

Without further ado, here are your 2009 Boston Music Award Winners!
