Star Awards 2013 (Chinese: 红星大奖 2013) was a double television award ceremony held in Singapore. It is part of the annual Star Awards organised by Mediacorp for the two free-to-air channels, Mediacorp Channel 8 and Mediacorp Channel U. Star Awards 2013 was broadcast live on Channel 8, on 21 April 2013 and 28 April 2013. The first ceremony was held at the Mediacorp TV Theatre while the second ceremony was held at the Marina Bay Sands. The ceremonies were also broadcast on 8 International and the second ceremony on Astro AEC & Astro Quan Jia HD for the first time in HD.[1]
20 programs (eight dramas, nine variety/info-ed, and three current affair programs) won at least one award, the largest representation of programs with one awards tying the last year's ceremony's count. Best Drama Serial Pillow Talk won only one award, its lowest count of awards for a winning Drama Serial, while Unriddle 2 won the most awards for the ceremony with five (two were from the big four major acting categories, and three from Show 1). Joys of Life won three awards out of the largest count of nominations for the ceremony (13), all awarded from Show 1. Only two variety/info-ed programs won multiple awards, which were the third season's Find Me A Singaporean and the last year's Star Awards ceremony, the latter retaining the three-year winning streak for Best Variety Special.
This was the second ceremony since 2007 to not present the All-Time Favourite Artiste, in its place was the newly-introduced Honorary TV Award. This is currently the last ceremony to date where awards for "Best News Presenter" and "Best Current Affairs Presenter" were presented, ending a tradition that began in 2000.
