PUBLISHED ONFebruary 22, 2024 10:08 AMByDrima ChakrabortyIt's Star Awards season once again in Singapore!
The 2024 edition of the award show will be held two months from now, beginning with a gala where Programme and Creative Achievement Awards will be announced on April 15.
The Performance and Popularity Awards will be given out during a live show on April 21 at The Theatre at Mediacorp.
One of the changes this year is that the Evergreen Artiste award will no longer be presented, as "artistic excellence transcends age".
Here are your nominees.
The nominees for Best Actor include Andie Chen for Silent Walls, Chen Hanwei for Whatever Will Be, Will Be and last year's winner Richie Koh for Cash on Delivery.
Jeremy Chan joked that he would be nominated with Desmond Tan for Best CP (couple) but they'll instead be going head-to-head for their roles in All That Glitters.
Will their bromance survive?
