Star Awards 2016 (also SA2016, Chinese: 红星大奖2016) is a double television award ceremony which is held in Singapore. It is part of the annual Star Awards organised by Mediacorp for free-to-air channels Channels 8 and U. SA2016 is broadcast live on 17 April 2016 and 24 April 2016.

Unlike previous years’ ceremonies, there will be a slight change in the lineup of awards presented and technical awards will no longer be presented ‘live’ on TV and will be done in an off-site presentation ceremony instead. The Walk of Fame will kick-start this year's presentation on April 17 at 5.30pm, while the post-show will be held after the awards ceremony on April 24, which will be broadcast at 10.30pm.

Star Awards 2016 will be celebrated at the swanky new Theatre @ Mediacorp located at 1 Stars Avenue – the new home to blossoming talents and productions brings forth renewed hope and faith for the industry.

The new format (Part 1 & Part 2) sees a re-shuffle of the awards streamlined to 19 and viewers can expect more entertaining skits and overseas artistes’ appearances extended on to both parts of the show. The Top 10 Most Popular Female Award will be first presented in Part 1 whereas Top 10 Most Popular Male Award will be presented in Part 2. Backstage Achievement awards will be separated from the main ceremony.

The Awards Show Part 1 on 17 April 2016, Sunday reels straight into the glitzy Walk of Fame with live telecast at 5.30pm followed by the ceremony at 7pm. The ceremony will continue its Part 2 live telecast on 24 April 2016 from 7pm to 10pm followed by the Post-show Party from 10.30pm to 11.30pm.

This will be the final year for Favourite Male/Female Characters and Favourite Onscreen Couple online award and will be presented during the post-show party.

Backstage achievement awards

These technical awards were done in an off-site presentation ceremony on 21 March 2016, and snippets of it were shown on the third episode of the prelude on 15 April 2016.

Ceremony information

Nominees for the 22nd instalment of Star Awards were announced on 1 February 2016. Unlike previous years, the nomination list saw an influx of first-time nominees, with a total of six new faces nominated in the acting categories: Bonnie Loo, Edwin Goh, Ian Fang, Romeo Tan, Sheila Sim and Ya Hui. It was also announced that the online Favourite award categories will be held for the final time, with Jeanette Aw nominated again for Favourite Female Character and Favourite Onscreen Couple (Drama). She won six voting-based awards in Show 1 last year, including three Most Popular Regional Artiste Awards, Social Media Award and Favourite Female Character award for her role in The Journey: Tumultuous Times. Despite expressing her wish to withdraw from voting-based award categories in the future, over concern for rabid fans who left messages online saying that they would harm themselves if she did not win enough awards,[4] it can be seen that voting for Star Awards 2016 Favourite Female Character for The Journey: Our Homeland and The Dream Makers II did not remove her from the voting list. Mediacorp quotes that as these awards are determined by online voting, she still had to participate in these awards. There was also a change in lineup of the awards streamlined to 19 categories. Noting that hosts usually present both the variety and info-ed programmes and their similar presentation styles, and that the Best Variety Show Host and Best Info-Ed Programme Host awards have similar requirements, Mediacorp decided to merge both awards into a new category named 'Best Programme Host'. There is also a new category for drama series veterans called the 'Best Evergreen Artiste', and technical awards were done in an off-site presentation ceremony for the first time since 2009.[5][6][7]

The names of the Top 20 Most Popular Male and Female Artistes contenders were revealed on 3 March 2016. With the induction of Qi Yuwu and Rui En into the All-Time Favourite Artiste Hall-of-Fame,[8][9][10][11] as well as the exit of Dasmond Koh, Desmond Tan, Ian Fang, Lin Pei Fen, Lin Meijiao, Marcus Chin, Priscelia Chan, Terence Cao and Tracy Lee, there were 11 new or returning faces in total. Aloysius Pang, Chua En Lai, Jeffrey Xu and Sheila Sim were nominated for the first time, while Aileen Tan, Chen Tianwen, Jesseca Liu, Pan Lingling, Kate Pang, Zhang Yaodong and Zhang Zhenhuan returned to the list after their absence last year or earlier. In particular, Chen of the "Unbelievable" fame was last nominated for the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste award in 2002, the longest absence by any returning artiste so far. Liu, who last won the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste award in 2010 and left to join HIM International Music after her contract with Mediacorp expired, recently signed a new acting contract with Mediacorp last year, making her eligible to qualify for the award. The telepoll lines were announced later at a press conference at Mandarin Orchard Singapore, and voting for the Top 10 awards opened the following day at 12 noon.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The lineup of the awards was also revealed, with Part 1 consisting of mostly variety/info-ed award categories, Part 2 with mostly drama award categories and the Post-show Party having online voting award categories.

The nominees for the Toggle Most Beloved Celebrity BFF Award category was the last to be revealed.[19][20][21][22]

Julie Tan walked home with three awards: Rocket Award, Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes and Best Supporting Actress. Ge Tai Challenge and The Dream Makers II were the biggest winners of the ceremony, with the latter sweeping every drama award in Part 2 (apart from Favourite Male Character, which it was not nominated; and Top Rated Drama Serial). Unexpectedly, Paige Chua, Pornsak, Romeo Tan and Shaun Chen were left out in the Top 10 awards. In their places were first-time winners Jayley Woo, Aloysius Pang and Jeffrey Xu; as well as Jesseca Liu, Dennis Chew, Zhang Yaodong, Zhang Zhenhuan and Zheng Geping, who neither were nominated nor won last year. Joanne Peh, Quan Yi Fong and Elvin Ng graduate to All-Time Favourite Artistes next year, while Best Actress winner Jeanette Aw went on to win Favourite Female Character and Favourite Onscreen Couple (Drama) with Qi Yuwu for The Dream Makers II, debunking the myth of which no one could win Best Actress and Favourite Female Character simultaneously for the same role.

Trivia

Awards categories

  • Bioskin Flawless Skin Award will also be first given out this year.
  • This is the first known year where the representative titles for Best Theme Song and Best Drama Serial are the same.

Other trivia

  • Part 1, Part 2 and Post-Show Party are the second, third and fourth 'live' variety specials in Mandarin respectively to be held at the Theatre@Mediacorp, after Lions Charity Show 2016.

Controversy

  • Professional and programme awards will only be given out when there are at least 10 candidates from 2014 onwards. Even though Channel 8 News & Current Affairs already had at least ten news presenters by the end of 2015, the Best News Presenter award, which was suspended along with the Best Current Affairs Presenter award, unfortunately did not return for the third consecutive time.
