This award was the 11th installment since its first presentation in 1994, ten years ago.
The ceremony was held on 12 December 2004 at the MediaCorp TV Theater with Timothy Chao and Taiwanese hostess Matilda Tao hosting.
These artistes who won the All-Time Favourite Artiste were no longer eligible from running for the Top 10 Most Favourite Artiste in future ceremonies onwards, and its system is implemented so as to let younger MediaCorp artistes have a chance to win the popularity awards as well.
Professional and Technical Awards were presented before the main ceremony via a clip montage due to time constraints.
The following individuals presented awards or performed musical numbers.
