Hosted by Guo Liang and Patty Hou from Taiwan, the three-hour show saw four artists winning two awards each, namely Bryan Wong (Best Comedy Performer, Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes), Chen Hanwei (Best Actor, Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes) , Huang Biren (Best Actress, Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes) and Quan Yifeng (Best Variety Show Host, Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes), which Bryan Wong and Quan Yifeng were from Channel U, Chen Hanwei and Huang Biren from Channel 8. While it was the first award for Quan Yifeng, Kym Ng failed to win any award despite being one of the hot favourites to win the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes award.

Fann Wong and Xie Shaoguang won the All-Time Favourites Award in a special category honouring artistes who have won in the popularity awards for ten years. Xie Shaoguang was in Malaysia during the awards ceremony, so he was not there to receive the award personally. The award was won by Zoe Tay, Li Nanxing and Chew Chor Meng in 2004.

Star Awards 2005 was the most unique award ceremony every held in Singapore due to the eccentric antics of a deranged grandmother, Zoe Tay. Many moments during the show, Zoe Tay could not control the immature side of her which resulted in her uncalled for antics which drew the ire of the audience and viewers alike. The production team was slow to realise the danger an attention seeker like Zoe Tay posed, however, better late than never. They swiftly responded to Zoe Tay's childish antics by tying her up in a casket where she resided for the rest of the show. Such decisive actions taken ensured that Zoe Tay ceased to exist from the show to the delight of the audience. It was rumored that she tried to keep herself entertained in the casket by ironing her wrinkles.
