The Star Awards for Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes is an award presented annually at the Star Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1994.

History

[edit]

The category was introduced in 1994, at the first Star Awards ceremony; Terence Cao, Chew Chor Meng, Li Nanxing, Sean Say, and Desmond Sim received the award as five of the male artistes of the 10 Most Popular Artistes award.[1] The winners are determined by a majority vote from the public via telephone and SMS text voting.

During 1994 and 1995, the Most Popular Actor award and Most Popular Actress were also awarded. It was a separate award from the 10 Most Popular Artistes award and was given out to the male artiste who topped the votes of the latter award. Li[1] and Chen Hanwei were the recipients of this award in 1994 and 1995, respectively. In 1996, the Most Popular Actor award was retired.[2]

In 2004, the Star Awards for All-Time Favourite Artiste was introduced during the 11th ceremony where artistes who had received the Star Awards for Top 10 Most Popular Male / Female Artistes for 10 times will be automatically be awarded and will also not be nominated in this category anymore.[3]

In 2023, the Most Popular Rising Stars award was introduced for artistes who have been in the entertainment industry for five years or less, regardless of gender. Awarded artistes will be deemed as as awarded Star Awards for Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes for the purpose of counting towards Star Awards for All-Time Favourite Artiste.

Eligbility

[edit]

Before 1997, only Mediacorp actors were eligible to be nominated for the award. This rule was removed in 1997 onwards to allow the Mediacorp male artistes from the variety sector to contest for the award.

In 2018, the rules were changed to allow contracted and project-based artistes to be nominated and/or receive the award.[4]

Recipients

[edit]

Since its inception, the award has been given to 60 male artistes. Jeremy Chan, Marcus Chin, Jeff Goh, Guo Liang, Richie Koh, Benjamin Tan, Desmond Tan, Romeo Tan, Xu Bin and Zong Zijie are the most recent winners in the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes category.

Ayden Sng, Tyler Ten and Zhang Zetong are the most recent winners in the Most Popular Rising Stars category.
