Director Jason Reitman explains:
"At one point, I asked Ellen Page before we started shooting, ‘[W]hat do you think Juno listens to?’ And she said [‘The Moldy Peaches.'] She went on my computer, played the songs, and I fell in love with it. Diablo and I discussed putting a Moldy Peaches song in it where the characters would sing to each other. I got in touch with Kimya Dawson of The Moldy Peaches and she started sending me her work, which was beautiful, and that became a lot of the soundtrack."
The film won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and earned three other Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actress. The film premiered on September 8 at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival, receiving a standing ovation. JUNO is NOT only the Best Film of the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival , but also is the Best movie of the Year. Here is a Video Clips on film "JUNO" Clips
