I am nominating the 2019 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I followed how the 1929, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 ceremonies were written. Please keep in mind that because this ceremony happened earlier than in recent ones that I did, the format of how I configured this list resembles more closely to the 1st Academy Awards rather than say the 71st Academy Awards and such.

The text following each of the recipients seems to be quotations. If so it should be within quote marks. (There is a quote mark at the end of the Laurence Olivier text, but not at the beginning.) However, note MOS:QUOTE "While quotations are an indispensable part of Wikipedia, try not to overuse them. Using too many quotes is incompatible with an encyclopedic writing style and may be a copyright infringement. It is generally recommended that content be written in Wikipedia editors' own words. Consider paraphrasing quotations into plain and concise text when appropriate". Also the MoS says of quotations: "[t]he source must be named in article text if the quotation is an opinion". Emphasis in original.
"The following 14 films had multiple nominations"; "The following three films received multiple awards". This would seem to breach MOS:NUMNOTES "Comparable values should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently".
"The Beverley Hilton". Why the upper case T. Eg see here.
"Three days earlier ... on April 6" Do we need both of these?
"Initially the Academy's music branch protested that the segment be dropped from the ceremony, but it was kept intact after" I am not sure that "intact" is needed.
"It was also remembered". "was" → 'is'.
" This was also the final public appearance for Jack Haley, presenter of the Best Costume Design with his Wizard of Oz co-star Ray Bolger as well as the father of the producer, as he died on June 6 of that year." 1. Suggest a comma after "Bolger". 2. Suggest 'being' after "as well as".
"Academy president Howard W. Koch an actress Susan Blakely." "an" → 'and'.
The Beatty/Welles sentence: suggest splitting into two, with the section in parentheses as a separate sentence.
"Best Supporting Actress winner Maggie Smith became the only person to win an Oscar for playing an Oscar loser" Optional: add in which film.
Overall it is in good shape. Nice work. Gog the Mild ( talk) 16:46, 15 January 2021 (UTC) reply

Orson Welles had previously been nominated for writing, directing, and starring in Citizen Kane, but though he also produced it and it was nominated for Best Picture, the studios, rather than the producers, were the official nominees of that category at the time.?
While Orson Welles had previously achieved the same feat for Citizen Kane, rules at the time determined that the studio releasing the film, as opposed to the individual producers, were the official nominees for Best Picture.
