I am nominating the 1996 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I read the requirements and criteria. I also followed how the 1929, 1990, 1992, 2000, 2004, 2009, 2010, and 2012 Oscars were written. Birdienest81 (talk) 07:11, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's a confusing "it also lower a higher" in the ratings section that needs to be rewritted, otherwise good work like with the others and Support. Reywas92^Talk 07:52, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed: I changed "it also lower a higher" to "it also earned."

"The ceremony, televised in the United States by ABC." That sentence lacks a verb. Perhaps it can be "The ceremony was televised...". The special awards and very few and may be better in a single section. In multiple nominations and awards you said "The following 19 films received multiple awards" over the list of multiple nominations. "The following individuals (listed in order of appearance) presented awards or performed musical numbers" lacks a period, and the parentesis may be replaced by commas.

Comment The header in the In Memoriam section is italicized, but is in quotes in the prose – which one should it be? ~Hue Sat Lum 02:00, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed: It is supposed to be in italics.

Comments

The 1-3 sentences of the article, does not have a source to acknowledge it.
″Winners are listed first and indicated with double dagger (double-dagger)″ Please put it in a table, for example see 40th Daytime Emmy Awards
Do not put references in the infobox, it would better to add those refs in the lead.
WP:Overlink, the winners and nominees table is not sortable therefore there is no reason why it some word are overlink.
″Because of the negative reception received from David Letterman's stint as host....″ → a sentence never starts with the word because.

Fixed: I fixed everything you listed above with a few notes

The references in the infobx were moved so that they could be used a sources for the first three sentences in the article, the intro, or elsewhere appropriate.
The winners and nominees table is now sortable (clicking on gold bar changes order) with winners in one column and nominees in another column. So no dagger necessary because winners are clearly separated from rest of nominees.

Support. Great job on prose and meeting the FL criteria. — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 11:56, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

Winners and nominees: According to our article, Howard's End shouldn't have the apostrophe.
Division of Best Original Score category: "dived" should be "divided".
"Four years later, the two categories scoring were merged back into one category." Feels as if "categories" and "scoring" should be reversed in order.
Rainbow Coalition: I see "African Americans" and "African-American" here. Does it have the hyphen or doesn't it?

Critical review: "Goldberg'd" → "Goldberg's". Giants2008 (Talk) 23:36, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed: I fixed everything you listed above. For African Americans, I removed the hyphen per se Wikipedia's own article. Thank you.

--Birdienest81 (talk) 01:17, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Goldberg is now missing the d. Everything else appears to be fixed. Giants2008 (Talk) 20:03, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed: I fixed the problem. Thank you.

Support. Looks easy to read and is well organized.-Jairus Garin (talk) 01:40, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Crisco 1492 (talk)

*Comments

Jones immediately selected actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg to oversee hosting duties for the second time - So he selected her two times, or she had previously been selected? Need to make this sentence clearer

the gig, - not quite formal

the Best Song nominees performances - either nominees' or performances of the Best Song nominees.

Watch for duplicate links! I'm seeing a lot in-text.

ceremony, presented - can you present a ceremony?
