Hard Candy (film)

[edit]

  • ... that the 2005 film Hard Candy was said to feature Ellen Page's artistic breakthrough performance that "almost no one noticed"?

Improved to Good Article status by Uziel302 (talk). Nominated by Freikorp (talk) at 06:08, 9 December 2014 (UTC).

  • Article is a recently-approved GA, and is in compliance with DYK guidelines. QPQ is good. Hook is good; my only suggestion would be to include the source that actually said that quote about Page's performance (a similar approach was taken with the DYK for Fez). I suggest:
ALT1: ... that The New York Times Magazine described Ellen Page's performance in the 2005 film Hard Candy as her artistic breakthrough performance that "almost no one noticed"?
If you have any concerns about this, please let me know. -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 08:14, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
ALT1 is fine with me if that's what you want Rhain1999, though for better wording maybe don't use the word 'performance' twice; I think it would be better if you substituted the first instance for a synonym, maybe 'role'. Though as per the talk page the GA nominator has suggested mentioning the film Juno instead of "almost no one noticed", hence i'll give you a new ALT to choose from:
ALT2: ... that according to The New York Times Magazine, the 2005 film Hard Candy featured Ellen Page's artistic breakthrough performance, preceding her Academy Award winning role in Juno? Freikorp (talk) 11:27, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
I didn't notice my use of the word "performance" twice; good work on picking that up. ALT2 is good, and I can understand the change of focus from the quote. My only suggestion to ALT2 would be to wiki-link "Academy Award", and hyphenate "Award-winning", resulting in:
ALT3: ... that according to The New York Times Magazine, the 2005 film Hard Candy featured Ellen Page's artistic breakthrough performance, preceding her Academy Award-nominated role in Juno?
If there is no dispute over this: We're good to go. -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 12:53, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
ALT3 looks good to me. Cheers. Freikorp (talk)
  • Can I ask why ALT2 and ALT3 both suggest that Page won an Oscar for Juno? Last time I checked only the screenplay did. Fuebaey (talk) 18:28, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Changed to nominated. Those ALTs were suggested by the GA nominator on the talk page and I didn't check to see whether the award was actually won or not. Freikorp (talk) 21:58, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I should have picked up on this. Now that it's fixed: We're good to go. -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 09:40, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
