Star Awards 2006

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Star Awards 2006 is a television award with the ceremony going to be held on 10 December 2006 in Singapore. The show would be hosted by Guo Liang and Patty Hou. This is the second time, included stars from MediaCorp TV Channel U, many of whom were former employees of MediaCorp. In this year's Star Awards, the Best Info-Ed Programme award would replace the Best Comedy Performer award would be cancelled. This year's Star Awards would be special, as the award ceremony would not be held at Caldecott Hill, as what MediaCorp has always did in the past 12 years (with the exception of Year 1995). Instead, the award ceremony would be held at St James Power Station (a pub near VivoCity) for the very first time. This year's Star Awards would also be divided into 3 distinct parts. That is red carpet ceremony, awards ceremony and post event party.

A half an hour variety show, named Star Awards Up-close has been produced, and ended its run on 5 December 2006. This show has a total of 8 episodes and is telecast every Tuesday night at 8.30pm. Weekly popularity results for Top 10 Male and Female awards would be also announced in the show. In every episode of the show, other than announcing the Top 10 Males and Females leading in telepoll votes, there's also 'side awards' to be given out. Awards such as Best Dressed actress, Most Handsome actor, Best Chemistry between an actor and actress, etc. There's also many roadshows for artistes nominated under the popularity awards. During these roadshows, MediaCorp artistes would have to go through a acting test (like an exam).

On 23 October 2006, nominations are out for Best Actor, Best Actress and other important awards, while nominations for Best Newcomer Award, All-Time Favourite Award, Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes and Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste were released on October 13, 2006. It has been confirmed that Chen Liping will be the recipient of the All-Time Favourite Award this year. This award is a special category honouring artistes who have won in the popularity awards for ten years, though it must not be 10 consecutive years. She is the sixth Mediacorp artiste to have won this award in history. This award has been won by Zoe Tay, Li Nanxing, Chew Chor Meng, Fann Wong and Xie Shaoguang in the past 2 years. Awards,other nominations and the votes for each artiste nominated under the popularity awards would be updated on this page daily.

There were many surprises to the nomination list, including nominees such as Kelvin Tan, Candyce Toh and Chew Sin Huey, who are singers and they were nominated for the popularity awards. Many audience did not expect them to be nominated. Instead, actors and actresses such as Jeff Wang, Eelyn Kok and some other artistes had created much surprise that they were not even nominated in the popularity awards though they had many good shows to act in. Aileen Tan was one surprise, because she had 2 lead roles to act in and she was not nominated for a single award. Many people had expected her to be nominated for Best Actress and the popularity award. Nevertheless, her detractors have claimed that she has taken on stereotypical roles, particular that of fierce, angry and constantly screaming characters too many times, which could have impacted her nomination chances.

This year's Top 10 Male and Female awards would have to undergo a strict calculation under the rule of 50-50 before awarding an award to the MediaCorp artiste. An artiste who receives a score that is in the Top 10 scores, they would win the popularity award. The 50-50 rule means that 50% of the score comes from telepoll votes, while the other 50% of the score comes from a survey done by some 600 Singaporeans. Top 10 results that are announced during the Star Awards Up-close only account for 50% of the total score as that is only telepoll votes. Though some Singaporeans said that this is an effective method, rumours had been circulating that the 50-50 rule was said to be done just for Kelvin Tan Wei Lian because he had lost out some votes in the survey category.

There were also many surprises to the results, when MediaCorp announced it on the actual day of the Star Awards. The first suprise was the Best Supporting Actress award, which went to Hong Huifang. She beat down hot favourite Constance Song for this award. Third time winner Huang Yiliang won the Best Supporting Actor award, again beating down hot favourite Shaun Chen. Yiliang went on to say some things that were not in favour of the audience, resulting in complains by the audience to MediaCorp. The Best Actor and Best Actress awards went to unexpected winners Li Nanxing and Ivy Lee respectively. Qi Yuwu was all along the favourite to win the Best Actor award, but he did not do so. It was the same situation for Ann Kok when she was tipped as the favourite for the Best Actress award.

Other surprises include: Jacelyn Tay (Third most popular actress in Singapore in Year 2005), Joanne Peh, Michelle Chong, Chen Hanwei and Terence Cao being eliminated from the Top 10 Popularity awards this year. They were replaced by Felicia Chin, Fiona Xie, Jesseca Liu, Elvin Ng and Chen Weilian. Tung Soo Hua scored a hat trick by getting the Best News Presenter award for the third consecutive time, Chen Weilian winning the Most Popular Newcomer award (Elvin Ng was the favourite) and Kym Ng winning her first Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste award after coming back to MediaCorp.
