Ceremony information

Several new categories debuted, including Crossover Star of the Year (for impact in mainstream media), Best New Video Production Company and several Specialty genre awards. Meanwhile, multiple packaging categories were condensed into one Best Packaging award due to the demise of VHS as a video format.

High Society magazine and Reuters reported the event's attendance record was shattered as more than 5,000 people watched the show.

1 Night in China was announced as the top selling movie and the 2004 remake of The Masseuse as the top renting movie of the previous year.

=Critical reviews=
