- ‡Dates and years listed for each ceremony were the eligibility period of television in Singapore. For the first 14 ceremonies, the ceremony was held at the end of the year (usually December). Since the 15th ceremony held in 2009, the ceremony was held on April and the period of eligibility became the full previous calendar year, hence no ceremony was held in 2008 due to a format change. No ceremony was held on 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic while nominations for the 2019 calendar year were rolled over to the next ceremony.
