why is this article redicrected to the main 81st academy awards article ? ArielGenesis ( talk) 22:59, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
someone went through and put the winners with a bogus spanish "secret list" about the winners. so I just undid all of them, but couldn't find the original in the history. there you go. Hooty88888 ( talk) 05:04, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
The name of this page is "Nominees and Winners," but the winners have not been announced yet. Should a scheduled or expected event tag be put on this page? --DJM —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.59.46.202 ( talk) 15:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Could someone please add more information on this controversy? There are already two reliable references, but more should be added to furthur explain the snubings.-- Snowman Guy ( talk) 05:52, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
This article states that he is 69, but his birthyear is not clear. He may be 70 or 71. See note on his page. All Hallow's Wraith ( talk) 11:24, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Can someone explain to me how this is not a trivia section? As I read it, it's pretty much the definition of trivia. Tomdobb ( talk) 16:18, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Who erased the Best Picture Reviews section? Someone should put it back up there, it further explains the alleged snubbing and critical reception is an important factor in the Academy's voting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.172.23.157 ( talk) 22:08, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Tagging Heath Ledger's nomination parenthetically as posthumous seems to suggest that his death was somehow relevent to his nomination. Furthermore, additional information about other nominees is not provided as they are listed. That this is a posthumous nomination is noted in "notable" section anyway. So I have removed the "posthumous" tag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Damiwh ( talk • contribs) 21:20, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
I foresee much anonymous vandalism and random edits in the next 72 hours, and wonder if we can get some protection on this page. Does anyone know how to do that? I'll be away and can't monitor the page, but this would cut down on the predictive "winners" that people like to highlight before the actual announcements. Thanks. -- Mtjaws ( talk) 17:17, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
In this article, shouldn't there be some names (the producers?) listed after the film titles for the Best Picture nominees? This (below) is what is listed in the Academy Award for Best Picture article.

Is there a set article maintainer around or is it normal for editing conflicts to happen so often? - Mardus ( talk) 02:27, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure I quite understand the pairing of the lower-level awards. Wouldn't it have a better internal coherence to pair them as follows:
The remainder fall less naturally into pairs, but perhaps:

This is a great section. I note that this technically has a list of facts around it, something that wikipedia does not generally support, but I would like to pre-emptively advocate that it is quite encyclopedic and delightful. Davedorr ( talk) 15:10, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
I have the additional awards compiled, but hesitate to jump into the main page to add the data since it's so darn pretty now. If one of the folks who have been maintaining this page wants to add the information in a format consistent with the rest of the page, here it is:
