Star Awards 2014
Singaporean television awards
Star Awards 20 (also SA20, Chinese: 红星大奖 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.

Why this record matters
“Star Awards 2014” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Star, Awards and Singaporean provides the most credible route into that argument.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17010707. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014 and 2009.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
