Star Awards 2017

Star Awards 2017 (also SA2017, Chinese: 红星大奖2017) is a television award ceremony which is held in Singapore. It is part of the annual Star Awards organised by Mediacorp for free-to-air channels Channels 8 and U. The Road to Star Awards 2017 was broadcast live on 26 March, and 2 and 9 April 2017. The theme for the 2017 Star Award is "Iridescence".

The nominations for the awards were first revealed 23 January 2017, followed by the Top 10 Most Favourite Artistes on a press conference on 3 March 2017 at Marina Square. 12 programs won at least one award, among which Best Drama Serial Hero, along with The Dream Job and The Gentlemen, as well as variety series As I Hold Your Hand, were tied with the most wins for a ceremony with two.

As part of the "3+1" format introduced exclusively this year, The Road to Star Awards 2017 is a series of three one-hour live-broadcast prelude shows leading up to the main presentation (on 16 April) itself, premiering on 26 March. Each one of the three episodes focuses on one of the award categories with invited artistes, mostly nominees, usually come to discuss the award ceremony and predicted their favorites for the acting categories. The end of each episode also reveal the current standing for the Top 10 Most Favorite Artistes award, and the bottom four artistes (per each category) at the close of the third episode were eliminated from running of the award, a first in Star Awards history.

Winners are listed first, highlighted in boldface.

The theme for Show 1 focuses on drama, and artistes – mainly the performance category nominees, were invited to the preludes and asked to select their favourites for the acting categories. Andie Chen was the artistes' choice for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, while Zoe Tay and Paige Chua were the picks for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.

The theme for Show 2 is variety, focusing on the variety and info-ed awards, as well as awards sponsored by the show's brands, Bioskin and London Choco Roll. During the show, Quan Yi Fong was the artistes' choice for the Best Programme Host. In one segment, the variety hosts also compared awards they have won so far.
