The television event of the year arrived on Sunday night (22 Apr), and with them, a slew of stars descended for the big show. And while much of the action was onstage, where stars like Nathan Hartono got the crowd on its feet, there was more to be seen and heard before the lights dimmed and the crowd went wild. Here is a sneak peek of what happened behind the scenes of the 2018 Star Awards.

Rebecca Lim

Rebecca who bagged the “Best Actress” for her role in “The Lead”, a drama about a group of friends trying to make it big in the show business posted this Instagram story post where she expressed her gratitude to veteran actress Zoe Tay who made her soup. In another snap, the 31-year-old actress was seen sharing chats with Elvin Ng before the show.

 In the same snap, Ian Fang, her best-friend-forever and rumoured romantic squeeze made a surprising guest appearance. It seems Ian (who was seated a few rows behind her) was also the first to stand up to clap and cheer on for Rebecca when she was announced the winner.

It’s nice to see how chummy these two are even though filming for the long-running drama wrapped a few months back.

With Singapore’s reputation as a foodie paradise, it’s no surprise that celebrities would squeeze time from their busy schedules to try the mouth-watering variety of food here. Hong Kong actress Charmaine Sheh who was another guest star at the awards ceremony posted this picture of her chowing down on a bowl of Bak Kut Teh (pork rib soup) for supper.

Getting children to pose in front of the camera can be quite the challenge. We’re not sure how he did it, but props to winner of the “Bioskin Most Charismatic Award” Elvin who used his charisma to get little Aden (Andie Chen and Kate Pang’s four-year-old son) in the frame.

The good-looking actor who seems to have an affinity with children posted this cute picture and wrote, “Vivian (Lai) actually told Aden to get in the frame so we can take a “family portrait #rehearsals #sa2018sg.”
