History
editThe category was introduced in 2010, at the 16th Star Awards ceremony; Jeanette Aw received the award for her role in Together.
Prior to 2012, the nominees were determined by a team of judges employed by Mediacorp. The rule was removed in 2012 to allow the public to determine the nominees entirely via online voting. Winners are also selected by a majority vote from the public via online voting as well.
The award was discontinued from 2017, along with the Favourite Male Character and Favourite Onscreen Couple (Drama) awards. In 2022, the award was revived but came under a new name called Favourite Female Show Stealer.
Since its inception, the award was given to only two actresses. Jesseca Liu is the most recent winner in this category for her role in Soul Detective. Aw is also the only actress to win in this category four times, surpassing Rui En who has three wins. In addition, Rui En has been nominated on eight occasions, more than any other actress. Felicia Chin holds the record for the most nominations without a win, with five.
