The nomination lists for the main categories were announced on 24 February 2009. Nominations for the popularity awards (Top 10 Most Popular Male and Female Artistes) were announced on 27 March 2009.
Unlike previous years, most technical category awards were presented at the actual ceremony. The Best Info-Ed Programme Host award was introduced to recognise infotainment show hosts.
This is the first Star Awards to be held in April and will recognise achievements from the year 2008. All Star Awards ceremonies after this will be in April instead of December like in previous years.
All winners are highlighted in BOLD.
All Time Favourite Artiste
This award is a special achievement award given out to a veteran artiste(s) who have achieved a maximum of 10 popularity awards over 10 years.
MediaCorp artistes would receive the All-Time Favourite award in place of the Top 10 Most Popular Artistes Award once they receive the popularity award for a total of 10 years. They would not be receiving any more popularity awards after receiving this award. This system is implemented so as to let younger MediaCorp artistes have a chance to win the popularity awards as well.
