Hosted by Thai-American actress & model Cindy Bishop, with Utt as Red Carpet Host, the 2026 Awards Ceremony & Party was attended by guests from the entertainment industry across Asia, and streamed live on Facebook.
More than 180 programmes were nominated across 35 categories in the 7th annual ContentAsia Awards, highlighting premium video content and talent achievements across multiple platforms in the Asia region.
This year’s categories include Best TV Drama Series for both local and regional audiences, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Original Game Show, Best Original Song and Best Factual Entertainment Programme.

“The quality of Asia’s original production continues to go from strength to strength. The industry in Asia has not, of course, been immune to global shifts, which are challenging everyone in multiple ways. However, producers, storytellers and platforms clearly remain committed to serving a wide range of consumers, continuing to develop their creative voice and muscle with authentic Asian stories across a broad range of genres and formats. We are honoured to be able to recognise and shine a spotlight on the amazing talent and works that we have in Asia,” says ContentAsia Awards’ President, Janine Stein.
