Tune in for Live Red Carpet Arrivals at the 2025 Star Awards!

This year’s Star Awards, commemorating its memorable 30th anniversary, takes place on Sunday (July 6). The event promises to bring back nostalgia while honoring Singapore’s Chinese entertainment industry.

This year’s Show will be co-hosted by the beloved veteran actor Guo Liang and the talented Chantalle Ng, who is making her hosting debut at the event. Among the special guests expected are renowned Hong Kong stars Chow Yun Fat and Sean Lau, alongside Singapore’s own Kit Chan taking the stage as a performer.

In celebration of three decades of excellence since its inception in 1994, the Star Awards will host a significant reunion of All-Time Favourite Artistes. This year, inductees include actress Yvonne Lim and host Pornsak.

Leading the nominations is the gripping crime drama “Unforgivable,” with ten nominations, including Best Drama Serial and Best Theme Song. Following closely is the family-oriented drama “Born To Shine,” securing seven nominations.

The grand event is set to start at The Theatre at Mediacorp at 7 PM, preceded by the glamorous Walk of Fame red carpet event at 5 PM. A post-event celebration is scheduled to begin at 10 PM.
