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 Find Me A Singaporean 3 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.
