Star Awards 20 (also SA20, Chinese: 红æÂÂ大奠20) was a double television award ceremony which was held in Singapore. It is part of the annual Star Awards organised by Mediacorp for the two free-to-air channels, Mediacorp Channels 8 and U. The twentieth installment of Star Awards was broadcast live on Channel 8, on 20 and 27 April 2014. The first ceremony was held at the Mediacorp TV Theatre while the second ceremony was held at Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre. These ceremonies were also broadcast on 8 International and the second ceremony on Toggle, Astro AEC (SD) and Astro Quan Jia HD (HD).
The ceremony celebrated its 20th year, hence the original title of Star Awards 2014 was renamed. The Dream Makers won nine awards, including Best Drama Serial, in one of the biggest number of nominations at the time with 21; they were tied with The Little Nyonya in 2009, which also had nine awards.
