==Ceremony Information== {{Prose|date=March 2026|section}}
===Awards categories=== *This is the first ceremony to introduce three awards, "Best Programme Host", "Best Evergreen Artiste" and the voting category "Bioskin Flawless Skin Award". The Best Programme Host was a combination of both Best Variety Show Host and Best Info-Ed Programme Host awards as both categories have a similar presentation structure. *This is the first year all five nominations for the Best Drama Serial have the same nominations for the Best Theme Song. Coincidentally, the winning Drama Serial ''The Dream Makers (season 2)'' also won the Best Theme Song. *This was the final ceremony until 2022 where the online Favourite award categories were held. **Jeanette Aw was nominated again for Favourite Female Character and Favourite Onscreen Couple (Drama). Initially, Aw stated that she expressed her intention to remove her name from the nominations due to her winning six voting-based awards (which include Most Popular Regional Artiste Awards, Social Media Award and Favourite Female Character award for her role in ''The Journey: Tumultuous Times''), but Mediacorp declined her request as the awards were determined though online voting, and still requiring her to participate.<ref>[http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/entertainment/jeanette-aw-wins-big-at/1793672.html Jeanette Aw wins big at Star Awards 2015 Show 1]</ref> *This was the first (and to date, currently the only) ceremony in which the awards for the Top 10 Artistes were presented in separate shows instead of single show, with the female artistes awarded in show 1, and the male artistes on show 2. **It was also the first (and to date the only) ceremony the main awards were split into two shows, each focusing on Variety/Info-ed and Drama, respectively. **Due to none of the artiste won their ninth Top 10 Popular Artiste title at the time after the ceremony, 2018 was thus became the third ceremony, after 2007 and 2013, to not present the All-Time Favourite Artiste since its category inception in 2004.
===Nomination firsts=== *First-time nominees included Bonnie Loo, Edwin Goh, Ian Fang, Romeo Tan, Sheila Sim, Jeffrey Xu and Ya Hui for the Top 10 awards. *Aileen Tan, Chen Tianwen, Jesseca Liu, Pan Lingling, Kate Pang, Zhang Yaodong and Zhang Zhenhuan were nominated for the Top 10 awards after not nominated for the category last year. **Chen Tianwen was nominated for the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste award for the first time since 2002, marking the longest absence by any returning artiste so far at 13 years. *Liu was nominated for the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste award for the first time since 2010. Between 2010 and 2015, she left Mediacorp to join HIM International Music due to the contract expiry, but later returned to Mediacorp last year after she recently signed a new acting contract.<ref>{{cite news|author=Tammi Tan|title=SA2016 Top 40: two dukes in, two dukes out|url=http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/features/sa2016-top-40-two-dukes-6215068|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160308025128/http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/features/sa2016-top-40-two-dukes-6215068|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 March 2016|publisher=Toggle|date=3 March 2016|access-date=15 April 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=《红星》"十大"入围 冯伟衷徐鸣杰首争奖 方伟杰陈泂江落榜 |url=http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/features/default-6214532|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160318194710/http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/features/default-6214532|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 March 2016|publisher=Toggle|date=3 March 2016|access-date=15 April 2016|language=zh}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Joanna Goh|author2=Zara Zhuang|title=10 eyebrow-raising moments from Star Awards Top 40 reveal|url=http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/photos/10-eyebrow-raising-6216440#slideshow-1|publisher=Toggle|date=4 March 2016|access-date=15 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160410122908/http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/photos/10-eyebrow-raising-6216440#slideshow-1|archive-date=10 April 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=徐鸣杰若得奖就亲陈凤玲 林慧玲积极拼"十大"|url=http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/photos/default-6216448#slideshow-1|publisher=Toggle|date=4 March 2016|access-date=15 April 2016|language=zh|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160308003232/http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/photos/default-6216448#slideshow-1|archive-date=8 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Tan|first=Kee Yun|title=Actress Rebecca Lim glad 'retirement' fiasco has died down|url=https://tnp.straitstimes.com/m/more/actress-rebecca-lim-glad-retirement-fiasco-has-died-down|publisher=The New Paper|date=4 March 2016|access-date=15 April 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Star Awards 2016: Most Popular Female and Male Artistes nominees list out|url=http://www.todayonline.com/entertainment/television/star-awards-2016-most-popular-female-and-male-artistes-nominees-list-out|publisher=Today Online|date=3 March 2016|access-date=15 April 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=May Seah|title=Why Chen Tian Wen is still stunned like vegetable|url=http://www.todayonline.com/entertainment/television/why-chen-tian-wen-still-stunned-vegetable|publisher=Today Online|date=9 March 2016|access-date=15 April 2016}}</ref>
===Consecutive and records in award categories, first in Top 10=== *''The Dream Makers (season 2)'' set numerous records during the night's ceremony: **The series set the largest count of nominations for a ceremony in a single year with 26, surpassing the first series's 21 from the 2014 ceremony. **The series also set a record on winning the most awards for a ceremony in a single year with 12, surpassing both the first series and ''The Little Nyonya'', both with nine wins. **The series became the first drama to win every awards they were nominated for, except for Favorite Male Artiste (which was not nominated) and Top Rated Drama Series (all the dramas were eligible). **The series became the ninth drama to have its series nominated for the Best Drama Serial multiple times, and the first (and to date, the only) drama to win in this category twice. **The series became the second drama to earn the distinction in which the drama won all five major acting categories (which were Best Drama Serial, Best Actor and Actress, and Best Supporting Actor and Actress), with the first being 2003's drama ''Holland V''. *Jayley Woo, Aloysius Pang and Jeffrey Xu won the Top 10 awards for the first time, alongside Jesseca Liu, Dennis Chew, Zhang Yaodong, Zhang Zhenhuan and Zheng Geping, who neither were nominated nor won last year. *Elvin Ng became the eighth All-Time Favourite Artiste to win the award with ten consecutive Top 10 Male Favourite Artiste wins. Ng, along with Joanne Peh and Quan Yi Fong, were conferred the said award in the following year's ceremony.<ref>{{cite news|title="超级红星" 戚玉武 ：17年演艺路 |url=http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/photos/17-6234044#slideshow-1|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160318194902/http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/photos/17-6234044#slideshow-1|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 March 2016|publisher=Toggle|date=17 March 2016|access-date=15 April 2016|language=zh}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Tammi Tan|title=THE CHAMPION: Qi Yuwu's career milestones|url=http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/photos/the-champion-qi-yuwu-s-6235520#slideshow-1|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160401194213/http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/photos/the-champion-qi-yuwu-s-6235520#slideshow-1|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 April 2016|publisher=Toggle|date=18 March 2016|access-date=15 April 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Joanna Goh|title=Rui En, in retrospect|url=http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/photos/rui-en-in-retrospect-6255618#slideshow-1|publisher=Toggle|date=1 April 2016|access-date=15 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160415054051/http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/photos/rui-en-in-retrospect-6255618#slideshow-1|archive-date=15 April 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title="超级红星"瑞恩15年演艺路 4大"最"状|url=http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/photos/15-4-6255050#slideshow-1|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160605085912/http://tv.toggle.sg/en/channel8/shows/star-awards-2016/photos/15-4-6255050#slideshow-1|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 June 2016|publisher=Toggle|date=1 April 2016|access-date=15 April 2016|language=zh}}</ref> *For the first time since 2010, ''Star Awards'' ended a five-consecutive winning streak for the Best Variety Special category, losing to the first season of ''GeTai Challenge''.
===Other trivia=== *Despite being the two-part program, this was the first ceremony since 2009 the Backstage Awards were presented outside the award ceremony. This was also the last ceremony to host a two-part ceremony since its format was revamped in 2010. *The Best Newcomer award was also suspended due to the lack of candidates, but it will return again in the 2018 ceremony, two years later.
