"Raikan Bintang" at Anugerah Skrin 2015

This year's Anugerah Skrin 2015 (ASK 2015) has picked "Raikan Bintang" ("Celebrate the Stars") as the concept for the award show that indeed celebrates the nation's talents and arts connoisseurs.

ASK 2015 is set to take place on 8 November at Dewan Merdeka, Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC). Popular singers Awie and Fara Fauzana have been honoured with the task of hosting the prestigious event this year.

Meanwhile, the red carpet event will be hosted by Hani Hatim, Muadz and Ain Edruce.

Group general manager of TV3 and TV9, Sherina Nordin, said this year's award show will bring something different to the table as the top five nominees will not be announced ahead of time and will only be revealed on the night of the event itself.
