Whos coming for Star Awards 2006?
November 29, 2006
The glittery star line-up includes stars like Nick Cheung, Jessica
Hester Hsuan, Jiu Kong and Zax and Tony from 5566. For the first
time since 1995, the Awards will be held outside MediaCorp!
To add a new twist to this years Star Awards, MediaCorp will stage
the annual highly-anticipated awards ceremony outside Caldecott
Hill at the new St James Power Station located at Sentosa
Gateway.
The star-studded affair recognises the contributions of MediaCorps
performing and production talents over the last year. The last time
the event was staged at an external location was in 1995, when it
was held at The Harbour Pavilion.
Mr Melvin Ang, managing director of MediaCorp Studios/TV Airtime
Sales & Marketing, says: Star Awards has traditionally been
held at the MediaCorp TV Theatre. This year we hope to bring some
novelty to the format by holding the annual mega show at an
external location so that viewers will have a different and unique
visual experience.
Against the glitzy yet relaxed lounge setting at St James Power
Station, renowned local and regional celebrities will give away
more than 30 awards that night. The current confirmed line-up of
celebrity presenters include: local singer Mavis Hee; Hong Kong
artistes Nick Cheung and Jessica Hester Hsuan; Taiwanese pop idols
Dylan Guo Pin Chao, Zax Wang Ren Fu and Tony Sun Xie Zhi of pop
group 5566; Taiwanese variety Celebrity Imitated Show hosts Jiu
Kong, Tai Zhi Yuan and Guo Zi Qian; and composers Bao Xiao Song and
Bao Xiao Bo. The awards ceremony will be hosted by Guo Liang and
Patty Hou.
Star Awards 2006 will be held at the St James Power Station on Sun
10 Dec. The Walk Of Fame will be telecast live on Channel 8 at
6pm, and the awards ceremony live at 7pm.
The post-event show will be shown live on Channel U at
10pm.
