Star Awards 2009 (Chinese: 红星大奖 2009) was a television award ceremony held in Singapore. It was part of the annual Star Awards organised by MediaCorp for its Chinese language division (Channel 8 and Channel U). The awards took place at 26 April 2009 starting at 7pm at MediaCorp Studios, followed by a post-show party airing on Channel U after the ceremony ended.
The nominations were announced on 24 February 2009, and the popularity awards later on 27 March. As like previous years, most technical category awards were presented outside the ceremony. The Best Info-Ed Programme Host award was introduced to recognise infotainment show hosts.
The nomination lists for the main categories were announced on 24 February 2009. Nominations for the popularity awards (Top 10 Most Popular Male and Female Artistes) were announced on 27 March 2009. DueIn contrast of previous Star Awards ceremonies which were held at the end of the year (month of December), a change in the eligibility period for television season (from September of each year to a full calendar year) resulted in 2008 having no ceremonies, and this was the first award ceremony in Star Awards history to be held on the month of April and the format had remained for the future ceremonies since (only the 2020 ceremony was postponed for a year as the ceremony was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore).
Due to a format change on having two shows in the following year, this was the last Star Awards ceremony, to present the Technical Awards outside the main show until Star Awards 2016, as well as hosting a single award ceremony (not counting prelude or special episodes) until Star Awards 2017.
The year's Best Drama Serial, The Little Nyonya, became the biggest winner for the 2009 ceremony, winning an unprecedented record of nine awards out of 16 nominations, surpassing the former record holder in the 2003 ceremony's drama, Holland V, who previously had seven (out of 10 nominations).
Nominees and winners Unless otherwise stated, winners are listed first, highlighted in boldface.
Backstage achievement awards ceremony As like preceding ceremonies, professional and technical awards were presented before the main ceremony via a clip montage due to time constraints. The lists of winners are only reflected in the table.
