Ceremony information
[edit]Award Information
[edit]For the first time since 2009, Mediacorp opt out a location for their second show, with both shows to be held inside the Mediacorp studios, as 2015 will mark its final year to be held at the former location of Caldecott Hill prior to the relocation of its campus at Mediapolis@one-north. The 2015 ceremony was also the last time where the first show presented Professional and Technical Awards during Show 1, and the last ceremony to feature long-time announcer John Kuek due to his retirement.
While the minimum quota requirement was raised to 10 last year in order for a professional and programme award category to be presented, three awards were not presented last year due to the changes, those being Best Current Affairs Presenter, Best News Presenter and Best Newcomer; of the three, only Best Newcomer returned while the other two did not, despite Channel 8 News & Current Affairs already had ten news presenters by the end of 2014; as of 2024, neither awards had been presented since 2013. The reason for this is unknown.
Jeanette Aw was the most trending celebrity in online social media as she won seven awards throughout the entire ceremony.[4] In the backstage after Show 1, Aw announced that she would want to withdraw from voting-based award categories in the future, citing competition issues by her supporters; however, Mediacorp rejected her request due to the nominations being determined by online as she was renominated (and subsequently won) for them in the following year, but eventually led to a rework of all the voting categories by 2017.[5] A viral video surfaced during Show 2 when Aw accidentally tripped on the stairway during the presentation for All-Time Favourite Artistes but quickly recovered with minor injuries. She even lampshade the fall by telling the viewers to rise again after, during her acceptance speech.[6][7]
Consecutive and records in award categories, first in Top 10
[edit]- 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 seventh All-Time Favourite Artiste to win the award with ten consecutive Top 10 Female Favourite Artiste wins. Rui En, along with Qi Yuwu, were conferred the said award in the following year's ceremony.
- The previous recipients to do so were Fann Wong and Xie Shaoguang, both occurring in the 2005 ceremony.
- Jeanette Aw set a record on winning the most awards for an individual at seven, among which were Most Popular Regional Artiste Awards (three, for Malaysia, Indonesia and Cambodia), Social Media Award, Favourite Female Character, Favourite Onscreen Couple (Drama) (with Zhang Zhenhuan, who they also won all the Favourite category awards) and All-Time Favourite Artiste (with Vivian Lai).
- 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 (and won) 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.
- The Best Drama Serial nomination for the third season of C.L.I.F. now tied The Unbeatables for its most nominations for its category at three. With the loss to The Journey: Tumultuous Times (which became the eighth drama to receive a second nomination), C.L.I.F. now holds the record for the most nominations without a win.
- 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 in 2016.
Awards categories
[edit]- This was the first show to introduce the category for Tokyo Bust Express Sexy Babe Award.
Other trivia
[edit]- Jack Neo's comeback appearance as Liang Po Po in nearly 15 years.
Accolades
[edit]The 2015 ceremony was nominated for Best Variety Producer and Best Variety Special in the ceremony next year, but were lost to Love on the Plate 3 and GeTai Challenge, respectively; for the latter, the loss ended a five-win streak of winning the "Best Variety Special" since Star Awards 2010.
