Huang Biren (Best Actress, Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes) and
Quan Yifeng (Best Variety Show Host, Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes), which Bryan Wong and Quan Yifeng were from Channel U, Chen Hanwei and Huang Biren from Channel 8. While it was the first award for Quan Yifeng,
Kym Ng failed to win any award despite being one of the hot favourites to win the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes award.
Fann Wong and
Xie Shaoguang won the All-Time Favourites Award in a special category honouring artistes who have won in the popularity awards for ten consecutive years. Xie Shaoguang was in Malaysia during the awards ceremony, so he was not there to receive the award personally. The award was won by

Chen Hanwei was all along the hot favourite to win the award. There were not many surprises when he won the award after not getting a single award after 3 years. The 'dark horse' was Adrian Pang, as this was his first chinese drama he acted in.

*
Yvonne Lim (林湘萍) -
A New Life (有福)
Jacelyn Tay was the hot favourite to win the award. But veteran actress
Huang Biren nabbed the award instead, though there were not much critics about her, because she was all along a good actress and worked very hard for the award as well. This was her third win for the award. After almost 11 years in the television industry, Jacelyn failed to win a single Best Actress award. Many Singaporeans thought that Cynthia Koh's role in Potrait of Home was a supporting role, but nevertheless, she had her own supporters. Fann had to potray 2 roles in Beautiful Illusions, but the role was not memorable enough. Yvonne was considered the 'dark horse' as this was the first time nominated Best Actress and she has been acting in supporting roles for so many years. This was a big switch of the nomination category for Yvonne.
Best Supporting Actor 最佳"配'
*
Alan Tern ("育书) -
Double Happiness II (喜临门II)
*
Andrew Seow (萧乙") -
A New Life (有福)
*
Cavin Soh (苏智诚) - Portrait of Home 1 (同心圆I)*
Darren Lim (林明伦) -
A New Life (有福)
*
Yao Wenlong (姚玟隆) -
My Mighty In-Laws (野蛮亲家)
There were not much surprises for this award, because Portrait of Home was a long-running drama, with 100 episodes, so many Singaporeans got to watch more of Cavin Soh on their television screens. Yao Wenlong and Alan Tern did not have much supporters because the drama they acted in was way too long ago, and the role was not memeorable enough.
Best Supporting Actress 最佳女配'
*
Carole Lin (林"佩) -
Zero To Hero (阴差阳")
*
Hong Hui Fang (洪慧芳) -
Double Happiness II (喜临门II)
*
Jesseca Liu (刘芷绚) -
Portrait of Home 1 (同心圆I)
*
Vivian Lai (赖怡伶) -
Double Happiness II (喜临门II)
*
Yvonne Lim (林湘萍) - Portrait of Home 1 (同心圆I)Both Yvonne Lim and Jesseca Liu were the favourites to win the award because both acted in the same show. While Yvoone's role was challenging and memorable (she acted as a very evil woman who later went crazy), Jesseca's role was the opposite. Jesseca had supporters because she was still young and had a fresh-faced look. Carole Lin, Hong Huifang and Vivian Lai- They roles were not memorable enough. Carole Lin only appeared in 4 out of the total 20 episodes of the drama she was nominated for. Vivian Lai's and Hong Huifang's drama they were nominated for was telecast in 2004, and many Singaporeans had forgot what they acted as.

Jeff Wang was said to be too inexperienced, while Bryan Wong and Mark Lee were better known for their comedic roles.

Best News & Current Affairs Presenter 最佳新闻'报/ 时事主持人*
Chun Guek Lay 曾月丽
*
Lin Chi Yuan 林启元
*
Ng Siew Leng 黄秀玲
*
Serene Loo 吕诗琳
*
Tung Soo Hua 董素华Tung Soo Hua and Lin Chi Yuan were the favourites to win the award. The reason was that both of them are still young, and Singaporeans got to see them almost every day on television during the time slot for news. Many rooted for Lin Chi Yuan, because he was the only male newscater nominated and he has been nominated in this category for many years. Ng Siew Leng was pregnant at that time, so she was on long leave to rest at home. Singaporeans did not see much of her reporting news. Nevertheless, she still attended the awards ceremony. Singaporeans only got to see Chun Guek Lay once every week at 10.30p.m. in the show Focus, so she and Serene Loo(too inexperienced) was considered the back-benchers.
