20th Academy Awards

The twentieth Oscars were held in 1948. Can you name the winners?

Special awards are not included

The performer for Best Song is highlighted because, although they perform the winning song, they do not receive an award. The award goes to the song's composer. I decided to include the performer instead since they are usually more recognizable and more strongly associated with the song.
