Five Singapore films are up for 15 nominations at the 63rd Golden Horse Awards, and anyone in Singapore can watch the red carpet and ceremony live for free on Sunday, 22 November 2026, whether or not they pay for StarHub. All it takes is a free online account, which puts you in front of local filmmakers competing on what StarHub calls one of Chinese-language cinema’s biggest stages.
The free pass comes from StarHub, which holds the exclusive live broadcast and is opening it to non-customers for this edition. The telco says the free stream is its way of bringing everyone together as One Singapore to cheer on the country’s filmmakers and talent.
Five Films, 15 Shots at Gold
- We Are All Strangers: seven nominations
- Ah Girl: three nominations
- The Violinist: three nominations
- Buah: one nomination
- She Said: one nomination
If you only track one title on the night, make it We Are All Strangers. It holds seven of the 15 nods on its own, close to half of Singapore’s entire tally, so it has the most chances by far to send a trophy home. Ah Girl and The Violinist make a strong second tier with three apiece, which means Singapore has three different films with multiple chances at a win.
Buah and She Said each have one envelope to wait for. A single nomination is easy to overlook in a ceremony this long, yet those are often the moments that feel sweetest when a name gets called, so they’re worth keeping an ear out for.
No Subscription, No Problem
The steps differ slightly depending on whether you’re already a StarHub customer, though both routes land on the same channel, Hub E City HD (HD stands for high definition).
StarHub TV subscribers can watch on Ch 111 or 825 through the StarHub TV+ website or app.
Non-StarHub customers need to register online for a free Hub iD Lite account first. After that, sign in through the StarHub TV+ website or app, choose Ch 111, and you’re in. Scrambling for a password reset at 4.55pm is nobody’s idea of red carpet glamour!
A Long Night, So Plan Dinner
The red carpet goes live from Taipei Music Center at 5pm and runs until 6.30pm. That’s when the awards ceremony takes over, with StarHub’s schedule putting the finish at around 11pm.
That works out to six hours of coverage on a Sunday evening, with Monday morning waiting at the end of it. Committed viewers can treat the red carpet as the warm-up and settle in properly for the ceremony at 6.30pm. Others may prefer to catch the arrivals, eat dinner, and drop back in when the big categories approach.
Cheering From the HDB Sofa
Awards seasons usually play out on social media timelines, where most people only see the clips and winners’ lists the next morning. This time, the full broadcast is open to anyone in Singapore with a free account, so you can follow every Singapore nomination as it’s read out instead of catching up on Monday.
That matters because these are local stories competing in Taipei. Watching from your HDB living room, you’ll know straight away whether We Are All Strangers converts its seven nods. There’s no need to chope (Singlish for reserving) a seat anywhere, which might be the best part of the deal.
