SINGAPORE – Local actor Andie Chen may have missed out again on the Best Actor accolade at the Star Awards on July 6, but veteran actors Hong Huifang and Chen Hanwei believe what he lacked was a bit of luck. Andie Chen, 40, was nominated for his role as a strict father in family drama Born To Shine (2024). He lost to Christopher Lee, 53, who played a father whose daughter was killed in crime mystery drama Kill Sera Sera (2024). The Best Actor nomination was Chen's fourth at the Star Awards.

On July 12, Hong, 64, shared on social media photos of her meet-up with Chen and other artistes, such as his wife Kate Pang; Felicia Chin and her husband Jeffrey Xu; and Aileen Tan. 'You were the winner of Star Search 2007, and along the way, we have seen you working hard consistently,' Hong wrote, addressing Chen. 'Although you have missed out on the awards many times, it is not because you are not good enough, but sometimes you just lack a little bit of luck.' Hong, who was nominated for Best Leading Actress for the film Ajoomma at Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards in 2022, urged him to keep persevering and not be discouraged. Top stories Swipe. Select.

Andie Chen admits 'traces of loss and loneliness' after 10th acting Star Awards defeat , Entertainment News

In a race, only one person can clinch first place. For local actor Andie Chen, the Star Awards race has become a standard affair, but one he has yet to bring home a trophy from. At the 30th edition of Star Awards held last night (July 6), the 39-year-old was one of five nominees for Best Actor, for his role in the Mediacorp drama Born to Shine. However, he lost to Christopher Lee, who won for his performance in the crime series Kill Sera Sera. The 53-year-old also brought home two other awards - Best Programme Host and the Special Achievement Award. Earlier today, Andie took to Instagram to reflect: "The ceremony ended and the music started. I sat in the audience, watching the liveliness on stage - no matter how strong the heart is, traces of loss and loneliness will still flow out in that moment. "But I didn't lose heart. Because all these years, I've had my family, team, friends and all of you who have supported me. Every time you speak up for me, it motivates me to keep working hard. Thank you everyone. "Setting aside my own little theatre, I really am happy to see my friends win awards. Who's not working hard for their dreams? "Finally, to my super handsome and capable idol Christopher Lee, I'm fully convinced losing to you. Thank you for letting me see my goal. I believe that one day, I will stand beside you and we'll create amazing stories together." [[nid:716772]] Andie had been nominated for Best Actor in 2012, 2017 and 2024. He was also nominated six times for Best Supporting Actor since 2011, and was also in the running for Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2024 and this year. Despite all the nominations, he has yet to win a Star Award. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chen Bangjun 陳邦鋆 (@andiechen) In live footage captured during the awards ceremony, moments after veteran Hong Kong star Chow Yun Fat announced Christopher's win, the camera panned to Andie in the audience. He was comforted by local actress Ya Hui, who clutched his shoulder and spoke to him, to which he responded with a nod and smile while clapping for the winner. The two belong to the 2007 batch of Star Search, where Andie was crowned champion and Ya Hui a runner-up. Others also consoled Andie, with veteran actor Chen Hanwei dedicating an Instagram post to him today. In a picture where the two walked together backstage in their red-carpet outfits, the 55-year-old wrote: "It's not that you're bad, you're very good. Just down on a little bit of luck, Andie. "Don't be discouraged, keep up your attitude and positive energy, because your attitude is your best feng shui. Keep working hard, and one day there'll definitely be a piece of the sky for you. Believe in yourself. "Of course, I still have to congratulate Christopher Lee, it was well-deserved." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chenhanwei (@chenhanwei1969) Hanwei himself won Best Supporting Actor for his role in Unforgivable last night, which marks his third win in the category. On Andie's Instagram post, other local celebrities showed him their support in the comments section, including Aileen Tan, Apple Hong, Jeffrey Xu, Priscelia Chan and Xixi Lim. All were present at the awards ceremony last night. In a video posted by 8days, Christopher and Andie were seen interacting post-show. Andie was posing for the camera when he was spotted by the award- winner, who came over for a hug. Andie joked: "You not paiseh to come here?" before laughing and returning the embrace. Thereafter, Christopher said: "You'll surely get it next time, okay?" [[nid:719895]]

Christopher Lee, Cynthia Koh, Chantalle Ng among Star Awards 2025 winners, Entertainment News

Star Awards 2025, with its lavish guest list of over 200 celebrities, ended on a high note last night (July 6). From Best Actress to Favourite CP, here's the list of all the winners in each category. Performance Category Best Actor Christopher Lee went home with Best Actor for his role in the 2024 drama Kill Sera Sera. This marks his third Best Actor win, with his first being in 1997 where he broke a record for being the youngest actor to win a Star Award at age 26. Best Actress She was nominated for the category for the first time, and went home with a win. Best Actress went to Hong Kong star Jessica Hsuan for her role in Kill Sera Sera. Best Supporting Actor Chen Hanwei won Best Supporting Actor for the third time for his role in the 2024 drama Unforgivable. He took home the same award in 2015 and 2018. When AsiaOne asked him how he felt about this win, he said he suddenly thought of his mother who died July last year. "In the past, whenever I won an award, she was always the first person I would tell. But this year… I no longer have that chance. So today, I'm wearing her ring and her earrings. I hope she knows." He said some people may wonder why he won again and spoke his piece. "I just want to say this, I'm an actor. Acting is no longer just my profession. It's my life. It's everything to me. I've been doing this for over 30 years, and during that time, I've always been nurturing and guiding the younger generation. But acting is still my craft, and I have to give it my all," he said. Best Supporting Actress This year marks her sixth time being nominated in this category, and her first winning it. Cynthia Koh won Best Supporting Actress for her role in the drama Hope Afloat, and she told AsiaOne she had been waiting for this moment for a long time. "After so many years of returning empty-handed, I've felt disappointed and distraught previously. So to be able to get it this time round, I'm truly very happy," said the 51-year-old. "Honestly, perhaps due to the disappointment from previous years, yesterday I was able to fall asleep really quickly, and didn't really consider winning the award much, if at all." Cynthia last won a Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste award in 2022. Best Rising Star Tyler Ten is this year's Best Rising Star. He won the award for his role in Unforgivable. The 29-year-old told AsiaOne he's thinking of buying a whole cake for himself to celebrate his achievement. "I love chocolate cake, and I've been starving myself so that I can look good on stage. I will also celebrate with my fans and treat them to a meal, because they have been working really hard these past few years and this is my first award so I would like to share [this win] with them," he said. Best Programme Host (Entertainment & Infotainment) Best Programme Host went to Christopher Lee for his cooking show Dishing with Chris Lee S2. He said he wants to film a third season not for the awards, but the audience: "When I go to wet markets, there are many elderly folks who ask me when season three will happen, so I know that audiences love this show. I'll work hard to secure and confirm the third season, because their love is most important." Young Talent Award Child actor Lincoln Ang won the Young Talent Award for Born to Shine. The series was his second drama, with his debut work being All That Glitters (2023). Best Audio Personality Yes 933 DJ Kenneth Chung took home the Best Audio Personality award.

"That was such a funny mistake I made all those years ago and I will never forget it." Qijia, also 31, recalled how she drank a matcha latte and almost blacked out during a night belt with Hazelle: "It was then that I realised I had caffeine intolerance. So I was literally talking and I almost closed my eyes and blacked out... I told Hazelle, 'Babe, I'm, gonna faint.' Then, she quickly passed me her medicated oil. I'll remember that oil for life." Best Theme Song This year's Best Theme Song award went to Remenants (Once Upon A New Year's Eve) performed by Jim Lim.

Star Awards 2025: Hong Kong actress Jessica Hsuan scores Best Actress nomination – and everything you need to know

The Star Awards 2025 is round the corner and a particular nomination in one of its performance categories is definitely drawing attention. This nomination is just one of the twists the annual awards show is giving audiences this year. Hong Kong actress Jessica Hsuan, who was in Mediacorp's M18 drama Kill Sera Sera, nabbed a Best Actress nomination. Hsuan previously said during a press conference in Singapore that this role is something "I've never played before". And, despite her illustrious acting career which saw collaborations with leading actors such as Louis Koo, Wong He, Julian Cheung, Nick Cheung, Roger Kwok, and Joe Ma, Hsuan didn't think she was the biggest star of the cast. Kill Sera Sera stars local actor Christopher Lee (a Golden Bell winner), Taiwanese actor James Wen (also a Golden Bell winner), Chantalle Ng, and Damien Teo. Nominated alongside Hsuan are Chantalle Ng (Hope Afloat), Felicia Chin (I Do, Do I?), Hong Ling (Unforgivable), and Jesseca Liu (Unforgivable). The other nominees in the performance categories are: Best Actor Christopher Lee (Kill Sera Sera) Andie Chen (Born to Shine) Qi Yuwu (Once Upon A New Year's Eve) Richie Koh (Coded Love) Gavin Teo (To Be Loved) Best Supporting Actor Guo Liang (To Be Loved) Pierre Png (Moments) Xu Bin (Kill Sera Sera) Chen Hanwei (Unforgivable) Chen Shucheng (Unforgivable) Best Supporting Actress Tasha Low (Coded Love) Cynthia Koh (Hope Afloat) Lynn Lim (Kill Sera Sera) Meixin (Born To Shine) Ya Hui (Coded Love) The 2019 Star Search champion Zhang Zetong clinched the Best Actor award for his role as the villain in All That Glitters and cried as he delivered his acceptance speech. "I feel that this win isn't just because of my own ability. A lot of the times, it's a group of people who contribute to the creation of a character, so thank you to every crew member on All That Glitters," he told local media after the win. Meanwhile, actress Aileen Tan took home the Best Supporting Actress award for her role of Chen MeiHui in 2023 action drama series Shero. She told Yahoo Singapore separately on her win that she still has 'a lot of things to learn' and yearns to keep going further. Veteran host Kym Ng snagged the Best Actress award, her first big win in the performance categories, and openly admitted to local media that she really wanted it. Ng had only won the Best Supporting Actress twice prior to this. She said, "I didn't think I'd win this award, but I really wished and prayed very hard that I can win." Jeremy Chan, who is more known for his comedic roles, took home the other big acting trophy of Best Actor. He attributed the win to his co-stars Ayden Sng and Desmond Tan, and told Yahoo Singapore that he was able to play off their strong performances. The annual Star Awards is a platform for Mediacorp to honour and celebrate local creativity and talent. Since its inception in 1994, it has been instrumental in showcasing Singapore stories and nurturing talent, including the recognition of some of the biggest local stars. Today, it continues to be one of the most well regarded and highly anticipated awards event in the local Chinese entertainment industry. Star Awards 2025 will be the 30th anniversary of the annual awards show and the overarching theme will be "Walking Through Time Together". The ceremony will be held on 6 July at The Theatre at Mediacorp. The main show starts at 7pm, and will be hosted by veteran host Guo Liang and second-generation actress Chantalle Ng. This will be Ng's hosting debut. Hong Kong actor Sean Lau will be presenting awards this year, marking his return to the Star Awards after 25 years. Meanwhile, homegrown singer Kit Chan will be performing some memorable soundtracks from local television. Before the ceremony, viewers can enjoy the red carpet Walk of Fame, from 5pm to 6.30pm, hosted by a 'Fashion Squad' comprising hosts Dennis Chew, Herman Keh, Hazelle Teo, and Denise Camillia Tan. Backstage Live (3.30pm to 10pm) will also return with radio station Yes 933's The Daka Show anchors Jeff Goh, Chen Ning and Gao Mei Gui. This is where audiences can enjoy a real-time, all-access pass to behind-the-scenes artiste prep, instant reactions and unscripted moments as results roll in. The post-show party will return after a hiatus of six years, giving viewers a glimpse into candid moments and backstage reactions. This will be held on the same evening from 10pm to 10.30pm. The eligibility criteria for some awards has shifted. In the category of the Top 10 Most Popular Artistes Award, for the first time, artistes who are nominees of any performance-based award will automatically qualify to run for the popularity award in the same year. Artistes who play the lead role or main host in a series with at least two episodes, as well as artistes who have a total of at least 13 episodes in a combination of roles, will also be eligible. The Most Popular Rising Star award is for artistes with five or fewer years of experience, but now, artistes who receive the award three times will automatically be placed into the Top 10 Most Popular Artiste Award category. And, the Best Rising Star award now allows for repeat nominations, as long as nominees continue to have five or fewer years of experience and have not won in the same category. Public voting is now underway for the categories of Top 10 Most Popular Male and Female Artistes, and Most Popular Rising Star award. Catch the Star Awards 2025 live on Channel 8, Channel U, mewatch and the Mediacorp Entertainment YouTube Channel on 6 July (Sunday).
