Star Awards 2026 winners list: Every winner from this year’s awards

The wait is over. Star Awards 2026 is finally here, as Mediacorp’s biggest night returns on April 19. This year’s ceremony, themed “Born to Glow”, celebrates the journey from grit to glory, shining a light on the commitment and hard work of artistes and creatives in Singapore’s local Chinese entertainment scene.

Much of the excitement this year centres around the popularity awards, with a total of 165 nominees in the running. And out of the artists, 118 of them will be going head-to-head as they earn a place in the Top 10 Most Popular Male and Female Artistes category, while 47 are vying for the Most Popular Rising Stars title.

Adding to the stakes, Carrie Wong and Romeo Tan have officially joined the ranks of All-Time Favourite Artistes after securing 10 wins each, opening up coveted spots in this year’s Top 10 categories and creating the opportunity for new contenders to emerge.

With returning host Guo Liang leading the show for a record 17th time alongside nominees Zhang Ze Tong and Cheryl Chou, and a star-studded lineup of international guests including Julian Cheung and Ada Choi, this year’s ceremony is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet.
