5x expanded by Krimuk90 (talk). Self-nominated at 12:15, 14 May 2016 (UTC).
Excluding content of tables, which is excludable under DYK criteria, this represents a 5X expansion. All other criteria - hook interest, citability, copyvio, length, etc. - pass. GTG. LavaBaron (talk) 19:24, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
The first part of ALT1 is verified by an inline cite, but second part, about him NOT winning the Oscar, is not mentioned or cited in the article. Yoninah (talk) 23:29, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, Yoninah. The second part is verified as well, but not explicitly stated. If you see ref no. 22 it mentions that Affleck did not get a directing nomination at the Oscars that year, although he was widely tipped to win. Krimuk|90 (talk) 01:27, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Krimuk90: per Eligibility criteria 3. Cited hook, the facts mentioned in the hook should be cited in the article. They should also be mentioned in the article. If you want to use ALT1, which I think is the better hook, please add something about him being passed over for the Oscar, and cite it. Yoninah (talk) 10:48, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
- Added the info as a footnote. Krimuk|90 (talk) 05:38, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you. I edited the note to make it more informative and encyclopedic. I suggest this rewording of ALT1 for the same reasons:
- ALT2: ... that Ben Affleck (pictured) won the Golden Globe and BAFTA for Best Director for Argo, but did not receive an Academy Award nomination, though the film won the Oscar for Best Picture? Yoninah (talk) 18:47, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Since I introduced a new fact into the hook and article, could another reviewer please sign off on ALT2? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 10:25, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
