Sissy Spacek is notable in the film as Hilly's mother. But she is not listed in the credits of this article.
As I write during the film's theatrical release, IMDb's credit list is showing Sonya Lunsford .... co-producer. However, the theatrical release poster has no co-producer listed. It would be nice if someone who hasn't seen the movie in theaters yet could check the credits, front and end, to see if this credit was added at the last moment before the poster was released or perhaps they plan to add it for the video release and want it on IMDb now? I know this article doesn't list the producers, but this is a small controversy that I wanted to make known as it is happening. 5Q5 ( talk) 14:55, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
I just saw that the home media release announcement was made, so I drafted up the following:
If no one has a problem with this, I'm going to go ahead and add this section to the article. --

I think there should be a table for the accolades. It would be clearer to see the nominations, wins and what is pending and it would permit to put some references for each award group. - Sofffie7 ( talk) 20:46, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Similar to what was done with Lincoln and Marvel's The Avengers, I've split off the accolades section into its own article to alleviate the length of the current page. ~ Jedi94 ( talk) 22:58, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed IMBD lists USA, UAE and India as Country. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1454029/ Do you believe they should be listed here too? -- Simo94 / discuss 13:25, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
In the synopsis of this film, it's noted that Hilly's pie had Hilly's human excrement baked into it. WRONG !!!............I just watched that film for the first time, last night on TV. Hilly baked her SPIT into the pie (NOT her excrement) as this Wikipedia synopsis states. In fact, I KNOW it was her spit (that went into the pie) because when the book was published, and the black women were reading it out loud, they were reading about that, and all of them started laughing uproariously. Also, then Hilly went ahead and told Celia what she put into the pie, Hilly said "You.....just.....ate.....my ......spit ! Now you are going to get my diseases."

The language was edited for viewing on TV. If you change one consonant in the word "spit", you end up with the word for excrement that appears in the unedited version of the film. Also, you have the characters confused. It was Minnie's pie that Hilly ate. 64.72.65.120 ( talk) 09:01, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
When I first read the plot summary (after seeing the movie) I noted that it incorrectly indicated that the women were concerned over the assassination of JFK. The assassination was of Medgar Evers, a civil rights leader from Jackson, Mississippi. It occurred after a speech JFK gave, which might be why the editor thought that that was the relevant assassination. Someone edited my change to read Evers and JFK, but I have removed the reference to JFK because it is not relevant to the scene being discussed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.69.220.82 ( talk) 03:59, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

In 1963 there was no term African American. The film does not use the term African American. The film as does the book reflects a certain type of people during a s=certain type of life and how they interact. By using the term African American we are imposing our contemporary idea about a people on a time when that idea did not exist. Personally, I do not like the term colored because when I read it my mind reads it as "color" "red". I cannot explain it but that is just how odd my mind looks at the term. "Colored" was a then existing term used in the subject cataloging of books in the Library of Congress and throughout the educational and public library systems of the United States. Since the term is used in the film that term should be used in the plot when describing what we call African Americans today. 2605:E000:9161:A500:3832:5234:5BA4:7DB6 ( talk) 23:17, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
