Star Awards 2023
Get ready for the biggest celebration of local Chinese entertainment talent and content in Singapore at the 28th Edition of the Star Awards 2023. This television award ceremony honors the best in Singaporean television released between January and December 2022. With the theme "Beyond | Celebrations," the Star Awards 2023 has been reimagined as a star-studded concert featuring top performers from Singapore and the region for an unforgettable night of glitz, excitement, and celebration. The ceremony will take place on April 9, 2023, at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. In last year's ceremony, All-Time Favorite Artiste Felicia Chin and Rebecca Lim both earned their tenth Top 10 Most Favorite Artiste awards, with Rebecca Lim becoming the ninth celebrity to receive the Top 10 honor for ten consecutive years.
The nominees for professional categories were announced on February 15, 2023, on the official Me Watch website. Artists who are eligible for the Popularity Category must meet certain criteria and are then shortlisted to participate in a nationwide poll of 1,000 people from Singapore's population. This poll has an equitable breakdown across various age groups and is known as the "Popularity Survey." An independent market research company conducts this survey using face-to-face or door-to-door questionnaires. The public voting for the popularity awards will commence in March 2023. The winners of the Top 10 Most Popular Male/Female Artiste Awards and Most Popular Rising Stars Awards are determined by a combination of the Popularity Survey findings (20%) and public votes (80%). These results are validated by experienced auditors.
