Star Awards 25th Drama Anniversary), commentating 25 years of drama in the Television in Singapore (the ceremony would later become a legacy of having a separate presentation of Professional and Technical awards, which would not happen until Star Awards 2010). The second show, airing 16 December 2007, would be a regular ceremony.
The 2007 ceremony was notable as it was the last ceremony to be held at the end of the year (months of December). Starting on the next ceremony of 2009, until its first exception in 2020, all the future Star Awards ceremonies would be held on the months of April (2020's ceremony however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulted in the postponement of the ceremony till later date). It was also the first ceremony not to present the All-time Favourite Artiste award since the inception of the category in 2004.

Star Awards 2007 Awards Ceremony
The second week of Star Awards 2007, broadcast on 16 December 2007, was the main ceremony.
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.
The first show (25th Drama Anniversary) was nominated for the Best Variety Special in the 2009 ceremony, but lost to MediaCorp 45th Anniversary Gala (45载光芒8方贺台庆).
‡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.
