Die 20ste Oscar-toekenningsaand is op 20 Maart 1948 deur die Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles gehou om erkenning te gee aan die rolprente van 1947. Geen prent het meer as drie benoemings gekry nie – dit was die laaste keer dat dit sou gebeur tot met die 78ste Oscar-toekenningsaand in 2006.
Die verrassende wenner vir beste aktrise was Loretta Young vir The Farmer's Daughter, ondanks die feit dat Rosalind Russell ernstig voorbrand gemaak het vir haar toneelspel in Mourning Becomes Electra.
James Baskett het ’n spesiale Oscar ontvang vir sy rol as Uncle Remus in Song of the South, en daarom is hy nie benoem vir beste akteur nie. Burgerregte-organisasies was egter ontevrede oor sy "onvleiende" uitbeelding van swart Amerikaners.
Op 71 was Edmund Gwenn die oudste Oscar-wenner nog, en hy het dié rekord gehou tot in 1976, toe George Burns op 80 gewen het.
