Star Awards 2014
Star Awards 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 and Astro Quan Jia 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.

Trivia
Awards categories
- This year introduced four award categories: Social Media Award, Most Popular Regional Artiste Award, Asian Skin Solutions Most Radiant Skin Award and London Choco Roll Happiness Award.
- The Favourite Host award was retired as it was purely based on the popularity of the host, which would already have been taken into account in the Top 10 awards.
- This is the first Star Awards ceremony with several changes:
- *The show sponsors were credited on narration during the credits, as it was previously done on other award ceremonies such as the Academy Awards.
- *The Best Theme Song award now include online voting, making it the first time a professional-judged award category incorporate public votes as the determinant of the award. Both components carries a 50% weightage.
- *Award categories can only be presented if the quota of a minimal 10 candidates, is fulfilled. Best News Presenter, Best Current Affairs Presenter and Best Newcomer awards were suspended due to lack of eligible nominees as a result of the change. However, despite Channel 8 News & Current Affairs already had ten news presenters by the end of 2014, only the Best Newcomer returned in the following year, while the Best News Presenter and Best Current Affairs Presenter had not presented since 2013. The Best News Story and Best Current Affairs Story awards took their place, being given out on Show 2 instead of Show 1.
