There’re new additions and others have been snubbed. Check out whether your favourite stars made it to the top 40 most popular artistes for the upcoming Star Awards

It’s that time again when the local entertainment scene becomes a high school popularity contest.

The list of 40 nominees gunning for this year’s Star Awards’ Top 20 Most Popular Artistes has some new faces in (see IN) while some familiar names have been surprisingly dropped (see OUT) — or maybe not.

The nominees were chosen via a poll of around 1000 people (aged 7 and above).

Voting lines open today and will close at 9pm on 25 April. The final results will be announced on the second Star Awards night on 25 April at 7pm on Channel 8.
