History

The first ever annual Star Awards event was held in 1994. In the first three years of the Awards, MediaCorp handed out just 10 Most Popular Artistes awards (five for each gender) instead of the current 20 (10 for each gender).[1]

The Best Actor and Best Actress awards were only introduced in 1995. Prior to that, it was more of a popularity contest, with Li Nanxing and Zoe Tay winning the Most Popular Actor and Actress award.[1]

The Star Awards has always been held at the TV Theatre on Caldecott Hill. Though there were two exceptions, the first being in 1996 where this annual event was being held at Harbour Pavilion, and 2006, where it was held at St James Power Station.[1]

From 2008 onwards, the Star Awards would be held annually in March the following year, however, Star Awards 2009 was held in April 2009.

TVB Anniversary Awards

In 1995, a top gun of Hong Kong's TVB was one of the guests at the Star Awards. When giving out the award, he commented on the significance of the awards in recognizing television talents. He wished that Hong Kong will have similar television award ceremony in future. In less than 2 years after his return to Hong Kong, the TVB Anniversary Awards was born.

Trophy

The Star Awards trophy has seen three different designs, since its inception in 1994.

  • Year 1994-1997: The trophy was a straight column topped with a gold star.
  • Year 1998-1999: The trophy was changed to a cone-like shape with a bigger star.
  • Year 2000-present: A new trophy that is made in Shanghai has been designed, weighing 4 kg and cost S$1,000 each. It is designed with an S-shaped crystal body that represents the word "Star". When viewed from another angle, you can see a letter A. This represents the word "Awards". As such its read as "Star Awards".

The newest designed trophy comes in different colours every year. In Years 2000 and 2004, it was green. In Years 2001 and 2005, it was purple. In Years 2002 and 2003, it was a golden brown. In Years 2006, 2007 and 2009 it was blue.

All-Time Favourite Artiste Award 超级红星奖

MediaCorp artistes would receive the All-Time Favourite award in place of the Top 10 Most Popular Award once they receive the popularity award for a total of 10 times/10 years. They would not be receiving any more popularity awards after receiving this award. This system is implemented so as to let younger MediaCorp artistes have a chance to win the popularity awards as well.
