Featured list candidates/77th Academy Awards/archive1

Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 00:07, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating the 2005 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I also followed how the 1929, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Oscars were written.--Birdienest81 (talk) 00:07, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment for now: It says winners are "highlighted in boldface" whereas I can not see the winners (but categories) being highlighted in "boldface" as claimed in the list. --FrankBoy _(Buzz) 15:03, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done: I fixed the problem. It is supposed to be in double dagger for WP:Accessibility issues.

Comments from Krimuk90

The "best film editing" category heading appears twice in the awards table.
The caption under Blanchett's image needs fixing.
" Best Actor winner Jamie Foxx became the only the second actor ". Redundant use of the second "the".
I am a bit confused by what this means: "In other instances, the actor or actress would perform the announcement of nominees and presentation in the audience"
"When the nominations has been announced on January 25,..". Grammatical error.
"Television critic Frazier Moore commented Rock's performance as a "needed pick-me-up, presiding over the broadcast with saucy finesse." Confusing. Please rephrase. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 06:26, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done: I fixed everything mentioned above with a few notes:

Changed duplicate Best Film Editing to Best Visual Effects
Fixed the caption under Blanchett's box. I misspelled the alt= as lat=.
Delted the duplicate "the" in the Foxx fact.
Fixed the phrase to read "In other instances, the actor or actress presented the award in the audience." I was trying to describe this as noted in these videos provided by the official AMPAS youtube account:[2][3]
Fixed the phrase to read "When the nominations WERE announced."
Fixed phrase to read: Television critic Frazier Moore commented THAT Rock's performance WAS a "needed pick-me-up, presiding over the broadcast with saucy finesse."

Resolved comments from Cowlibob (talk) 15:10, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

*Need refs to show that the presenters presented their specific award and that the performers performed those songs listed. Cowlibob (talk) 19:40, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done: Added news sources/websites that have minute-by-minute coverage on who presented and or performed what.

All of the presenters and the awards given or performances introduced are in the NZ Herald or Washington Post link
Performances and the songs sung are covered in the Film Music Society link. Also mention of Bening's introduction of the In Memoriam segment is here.
Emmy Rossum's introduction of Beyonce is in the Extra TV Link
Randy Thomas reference is in a book as indicated by the ref.
Bill Conti reference is on ref 37 under fourth paragraph Ceremony info.

Support Good job as usual. Nice work on adding in the new more accessible table, hope you or others can do so for all the Academy Awards lists. Cowlibob (talk) 15:10, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
