The winners of the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes awards were Cynthia Koh, Rui En, Yvonne Lim, Ann Kok, Jeanette Aw, Vivian Lai, Kym Ng, Joanne Peh, Paige Chua, along with Rebecca Lim.

In the final of our three-part Star Awards winners’ prediction, we take a guess at who are the top 10 most popular male and female artistes of the year

Oh, how the game has changed.

This year, the Top 20 (10 from each gender) Most Popular Male and Female Artistes will be decided through a combination of telepoll and online voting, where the latter is introduced for the first time in the awards ceremony’s history.

Traditionally, public voting was wholly done via telepoll hotlines, but this year’s results will be a combination of 50% telepoll voting and 50% online voting.

A change in the voting mechanism this year may alter the fates of your favourite artistes. Artistes with a younger and more IT savvy fan base, may secure themselves an edge over others who used to rely on telepoll voting.

Should a tie occur on the night of the actual show, the final Top 10 will be determined via results from a previous survey.

Telepoll lines for the Top 10 Most Popular Male/Female Artistes awards is open from Mar 15 to Apr 29, 2012, 9pm; online voting commenced on Mar 16, and will end on Apr 29, 2012.

With only a couple more days to go, we say it’s high time you rally your family and friends and work those fingers, if you don’t want your favourite artiste to go home empty handed on Sunday night.

Who will clinch that coveted spot, and who will go home empty-handed?

《红星大奖2012》第2场颁奖礼明晚将于滨海湾金沙隆重举行，届时除了公布各大演技、主持与主播等奖项花落谁家，也将宣布今年的”十大最受欢迎男女艺人”。

与往年不同，这次的成绩50%依旧仰赖电话投选，另50%则来自xinmsn网上投选。从3月中旬开始接受投票以来，战情额外激烈，其中有不少令人意外的。

两方投选将于明晚8点半截止，xinmsn娱乐组考虑各种因素，预测以下艺人将有可能入围。

Our take on the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes:

Winning Pedestal: Rui En, Jeanette Aw, Vivian Lai

They have had a consistent track record of taking a spot on the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes award, and it wouldn’t be any different this year; this trio seemed like the shoo-in winners for this category.

Rui En has had plenty of exposure on local television this year, with lead roles in A Tale of 2 Cities, Code of Honour and Unriddle 2. She even won the Favourite Female Character award for her role as Zhang Ya Le at last week’s Star Awards Show 1; since the award was determined wholly through online voting, we dare say it is once again a shoo-in for the actress this time.

十拿九稳： 瑞恩、欧萱、赖怡伶

本地两大人气女王瑞恩和欧萱，各有一批坚强的粉丝群，无论曝光率高或低，都不会有太多影响，”十大”是铁拿的。

Dial 1900-112-2023 to vote for Rui En in Top 10! Per vote costs 86c.

Online votes make up 50%! 1 vote/NRIC per day at bit.ly/top10re12

To commemorate 30 years of Channel 8 drama productions, “Joys of Life” is a massive star-studded drama which continues the legacy of “Wok of Life” and “Springs of Life”. Going back in time to the 1950s – 1960s, viewers can experience what life was like when mobile getai was all the rage. Chew Chor Meng takes centrestage in this series, starring alongside Rui En, Chen Li Ping and Taiwanese idols Wang Xin Ru and Alien Huang (Xiao Gui).

Joys of Life
Debuts 26 June, Ch 8, Weeknights, 9PM

Sometimes the best way to move forward is to take a look back at what got you here. Ch 8 celebrates 30 years of local drama with a nostalgic trip back to the great, great Technicolor world of getai. This year’s Joys of Life is the final chapter of a retrospective trilogy that includes 1999’s Wok of Life and 2002’s Spring of Life which offered peeks at the goings-on of a zichar restaurant and a cabaret troupe respectively. Joys brings us into the lives of three buddies – fame-hungry Mingxing (Taiwanese actor-host Alien Huang), mousy and self-effacing Zibin (Andie Chen) and the playful, reckless Yiduo (Zhang Yaodong) – who set up a getai business in ’60s Singapore. Except swinging musical numbers, gorgeous period sets and fashionably mod threads, as well as fun celeb cameos in a story about friendship, romance and betrayal. It’s, in short, a take about the days of being wild.

Foreign Talent: Singaporeans know Taiwanese actor-host Alien Huang (flanked by Cynthia Wang, left, and Rui En), best as a kopitiam boy in Michelle Chong’s movie, Already Famous. To prepare for his first Ch 8 leading role, the 28-year old actor picked up Cantonese and Malay to sound more local.

Joys of Life 花样人间 debuts 26 June 2012 9pm on Channel 8.

In this second part of our three-part Star Awards winners’ prediction, we give you insights on who we think will take home those coveted trophies at Star Awards Show 2

Best Actress nominees: Ann Kok (Bountiful Blessings), Fann Wong (On the Fringe), Joanne Peh (A Tale of 2 Cities), Rui En (A Tale of 2 Cities), Zoe Tay (Devotion)

最佳女主角
入围者：郭舒贤《万富楼》、范文芳《边缘父子》、白薇秀《乐在双城》、瑞恩《乐在双城》、郑惠玉《阿娣》

白薇秀和去年的”视后”瑞恩在《乐在双城》个有突破，可惜角色本质的局限，导致演技较为表面。

Best Newcomer nominees: Adeline Lim (Devotion), Jeffrey Xu (Devotion), Kate Pang (A Tale of 2 Cities), Romeo Tan (C.L.I.F.), Sora Ma (Love Thy Neighbour)

We say: Kate Pang

Nominated for her role as the bespectacled and unfashionable Lin Le in A Tale of 2 Cities, Kate proved her worth as capable rookie actress as she held her own against Rui En and Joanne Peh in the drama.
