This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened: |
I read this. Wikipedia seems to be one of the few sites still referring to the Oscars by their traditional name. Is it time for a rethink? Crazy Eddy ( talk) 14:52, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
This seems to be a recurring issue, so let's create a consensus here and then move on to other matters. Do we want the film title 12 Years a Slave alphabetized first under the characters "12" ... or do we want it alphabetized under the letter "T" as if the "twelve" were spelled out? Edits are going back and forth on this, so I'd like us to agree one way or the other; then all editors can uniformly stick with this decision. And – whatever we decide – for consistency, we will need to do the same for the film 20 Feet from Stardom, nominated in the Best Feature Documentary category. Thoughts? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 04:17, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
On these charts, can someone "left justify" (instead of "center justify") the columns for "Film", "Name", and "Award Categories"? (And keep the columns for "Number of Nominations" as "centered".) I think it would look better, but I am not sure how to do this. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 18:32, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
For anyone who is doing this article, check out 72nd Academy Awards or any other Oscar ceremony that is a featured list to see how to create this list in a proper way.
BTW, I'm going to clean up this list sometime in April in order to submit it for featured list status in August.-- Birdienest81 ( talk) 00:04, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
One of the original nominations for Best Song was revoked by the Academy. Should we leave the song in the chart, with an explanatory footnote? Or should we just remove it from the chart altogether? It seems to me that the former option is better. What has been our practice in past ceremonies? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 16:50, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Just noticed someone got rid of it-I think that probably was just someone guessing-as it seemed to be a bit too many when it comes down to the In Memorium (Which IMO should be longer for once, after snubbing Andy Griffith and other people. (Though I do hope Shirley Temple gets a special one. So what has been confirmed is what I'm asking. Wgolf ( talk) 17:15, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Yep they don't-I can see why they got rid of that section, not sure why it was there so long-then again I found the most amusing thing to be on a Oscar page for years and years-one of the winners for Assistant director was someone who never won, had no page and no listing on the Oscar site, I had to go though the history and it was listed as wrong since...are your ready? 2007! Wgolf ( talk) 18:03, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
Somebody need to mention that this was the first Academy Awards Ceremony that streamed live to mobile devices and ABC's website, as we mentioned the Oscar's first televised, first broadcasted on the radio, first in color, last in black and white, first live, etc.

As IP edits are sometimes automatically reverted, I'll just note here that, despite it being included in the introduction to the section, the actual recipient of the Jean Hersholt Award, Angelina Jolie, was omitted from the awards list, so I have added it now. 68.146.70.124 ( talk) 21:36, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
9 nominations-but I can't find a place that has a link to it-but he has the most nominations ever in that cat to date. (I was just updating the sound editing and noticed that the data was wrong on it) Wgolf ( talk) 21:51, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
The list of nominees appears to be using a table for layout purposes, a violation of Wikipedia table inappropriate use guidelines for page layout. This would better be done as a list, similar to my edit to the 87th Academy Awards page. Thisisnotatest ( talk) 00:22, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
Reverted removal of AccessibilityDispute template as the issue has not been settled yet. There is a concern that a featured article has accessibility issues. The discussion is still ongoing at WikiProject Accessibility talk. Thisisnotatest ( talk) 00:07, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
In the last few days, there was disagreement between how the table format should look. I wanted it to look like this:
OPTION 1
Name(s) | Role | Performed |
---|---|---|
William Ross | Musical arranger Conductor |
Orchestral |
Pharrell Williams | Performer | " Happy" from Despicable Me 2 |
Karen O Ezra Koenig |
Performers | " The Moon Song" from Her |
U2 | Performers | " Ordinary Love" from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom |
Pink | Performer | " Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz |
Bette Midler | Performer | " Wind Beneath My Wings" during the annual In Memoriam tribute |
Idina Menzel | Performer | " Let It Go" from Frozen |
But User:Atomic Meltdown wants it like this:
OPTION 2
Artist(s) | Song(s) |
---|---|
William Ross | Orchestral |
Pharrell Williams | " Happy" from Despicable Me 2 |
Karen O Ezra Koenig |
" The Moon Song" from Her |
U2 | " Ordinary Love" from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom |
Pink | " Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz |
Bette Midler | " Wind Beneath My Wings" during the annual In Memoriam tribute |
Idina Menzel | " Let It Go" from Frozen |
What do you think? Which of the two you think is suited in the context of a Featured list? Or is there a third method? If you do, show it here and we'll vote. IO believe there should be consistency among all the Oscar ceremony lists. Birdienest81 ( talk) 19:33, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Academy Awards which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 13:14, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
I have twice had my (accessible) indication of winners via ‡ ({{ double-dagger}}) reverted, and so am adding the {{ Accessibility dispute}} template.
Indicating winners solely with boldface is not accessible to some screen readers. That is, the screen reader may not necessarily read bold text aloud differently from non-bold text.
While it is clear that a winner immediately follows the name of an award, it may be ambiguous as to when the winning information is completed. Following the bold section with a double-dagger makes the end point clear.
The only reason given in the history for reverting the accessible code was "only Featured lists use bold." Being a featured list does not exempt the list from meeting accessibility requirements.

I don't know how to add this or the images that go along with it, any help would be great: There were two additional Official posters for the 86th Academy Awards. One titled "Liquid" and the other titled "Spotlight" designed by ad agency 180LA and done by artist Casey Leveque of Rocket Studio. [1] Here is the link to a high res jpg of one poster [2] And here is a link to a high res jpg of the other [3] 67.53.124.5 ( talk) 00:36, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

In the Critical Reviews section, it says "The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the show a 82% approval rating, with an average rating of 0/10, based on 11 reviews." Is this correct? Poydoo ( talk) 00:17, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
If you look at the latest 92nd Academy Awards the In Memorial list has the deceased party's name listed with his profession. Someone added a movie example of the artist and I agree that should be deleted. I am going to restore the list but only with the professions noted. Tell me if I am wrong.
