- "(tied with Andie MacDowell)" should probably be an "efn note".
- No longer relevant.--Changedforbetter (talk) 16:53, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- Make the awards table sortable.
- Also add "!scope=row" to the first column.
- Then sort nominees in the table by their last names.
- I removed the awards table altogether in favour of using prose. I feel a table is redundant and unnecessary, considering the film fact that most of the film's awards/nominations were for Pfeiffer – each of which are elaborated upon in the paragraph – and the fact that the film itself did not receive that many notable awards. Hope this will suffice. --Changedforbetter (talk) 16:53, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
