Back in the day, Star Awards was an event to celebrate performances by actors and hosts in local dramas and variety shows and for audiences to vote for their favourite local celebrities.

While behind the airwaves, Mediacorp's radio DJs continued to captivate and accompanied listeners with their voices on air daily, with no involvement in the awards.

"Now they don't just appear in the radio station behind the mics, but they also stand on stage and appear in front of the cameras. So it goes without saying that they should be able to join." "Why are radio DJs nominated for Top 10? This is supposed to be a category where drama fans vote for their favourite actors and not for radio DJs. Why are they putting radio DJs and actors together? The radio stations should conduct their own Top 10 Most Popular Radio DJs," a netizen wrote.

He added: "If I didn't get the award, I wouldn't let myself down, because I have tried my best. Perhaps it's a change in times indicating the younger ones should get it. For those of us who are older, we should give it to them."Mark and Dennis had won their 10th award in this category in 2009 and 2021 respectively, and received their All-Time Favourite Artiste award in the following years.: "Last year I was very chill. Jeff Goh won and I was so happy and hugged him.

"I think this new category is so great. When I heard that there is this new category, I felt like all my hardwork and efforts are recognised by the company. It's not just our radio shows, Kenneth also got nominated for his own podcast Kunzversations, which I think is really fantastic," said Hazelle.
