Ceremony information
Award Information
- This was the last Star Awards ceremony to be held in the Caldecott Hill before the show moved to the new campus in Mediapolis@one-north. As such, the Chinese subtitles for both ceremonies referenced Caldecott.
- *It was also the first Star Awards ceremony since 2009 the ceremony was not held on a location outside Mediacorp studios.
- *As of the most recent ceremony in 2019, this was the last time Professional & Technical Awards were presented on one show in a two-show format. Although the following year's ceremony was also a two-show, the two-show format was revamped to focus on the variety and drama categories, while Professional & Technical Awards were awarded outside the show, for the first time since 2009.
- *It was also the last Star Awards ceremony to feature long-time announcer John Kuek due to his retirement.
Consecutive and records in award categories, first in Top 10
- The Joy Truck became the third variety program to win its second Best Variety Programme award, after City Beat and Say It If You Dare.
- Rui En became the sixth All-Time Favourite Artiste to win the award with ten consecutive Top 10 Female Favourite Artiste wins. Ng, along with Qi Yuwu, were to conferred said award in the following year's ceremony.
- Jeanette Aw set a record on winning the most awards for an individual at seven, among which were Most Popular Regional Artiste Awards, Social Media Award, Favourite Female Character, Favourite Onscreen Couple and All-Time Favourite Artiste.
- Carrie Wong, Jayley Woo, Shane Pow and Youyi) were nominated for the Top 10 voting category for the first time.
- *Pow and Wong, along with Shaun Chen, Ian Fang and Julie Tan, won their first Top 10 Favourite Artiste award.
- The last time Felicia Chin nominated for the Top 10 Most Favourite Female Artiste was 2010; she switched to part-time acting to study for a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in the NUS Business School, quit her studies and has since returned to acting.
- Star Awards won its fifth consecutive "Best Variety Special" award, part of the five-win streak since the show won her first award in 2010 until its next loss on 2016.
Awards categories
- This was the first show to introduce the category for Tokyo Bust Express Sexy Babe Award.
Controversies
- 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 ten news presenters by the end of 2014, both the Best News Presenter award and Best Current Affairs Presenter award did not return for a second consecutive year, while the Best Newcomer returned after being absent last year.
- *The Best Newcomer will be absent again in 2016 and 2017, but returned in 2018.
- After Jeanette Aw won six voting-based awards in Show 1, she expressed her intention to withdraw from voting-based award categories in the future. Speaking to the media after the ceremony, Aw said that the move is due to her concern about rabid fans who left messages online saying that this could impede other potential contenders if she did not win enough awards. However, it can be seen that voting for Star Awards 2016 Favourite Female Character for and The Dream Makers II did not remove her from the voting list. Mediacorp quotes that these awards are determined by online voting, and she still had to participate in both categories. Aw would went on to win the Favourite Female Character and Favourite Onscreen Couple with Qi Yuwu for The Dream Makers II in the following year, which was the last time the Favourite categories were held.
Other trivia
- Jack Neo's comeback appearance as Liang Po Po in nearly 15 years.
