The Decline of the American Empire

(

• ... that the 1986 sex comedy The Decline of the American Empire was the first Canadian film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film?

5x expanded by Ribbet32 (talk). Self-nominated at 13:23, 10 August 2016 (UTC).

• The supplied source confirms that the film was nominated in 1987, but doesn't confirm that it was the first Canadian film to be nominated. Gatoclass (talk) 12:25, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
  • @Gatoclass: Changed ref which explicitly notes that. Ribbet32 (talk) 15:18, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

• It's a bit short of a genuine x5 expansion but since you appear to be a new contributor to DYK I'll let that pass on this occasion, but it's something you will have to pay closer attention to next time. Article passed a copyvio check and appears to be DYK compliant in all other respects. I have AGF verified the hook because the source is offline. Gatoclass (talk) 16:05, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
