Dunkirk is a 2017 war epic film written, co-produced, and directed Christopher Nolan. Its ensemble cast includes Fionn Whitehead, Tom Glynn-Carney, Jack Lowden, Harry Styles, Aneurin Barnard, James D'Arcy, Barry Keoghan, Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance and Tom Hardy. The film depicts the Dunkirk evacuation of World War II through the perspectives of the land, sea, and air. The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards including Best Picture at the 2018 ceremony and won three awards. This is my sixth film accolades list to be nominated for featured list status, and I largely based the format off of the accolades lists for The Artist, The Big Short, 1917, The Shape of Water, and Slumdog Millionaire. I will gladly accept your comments to improve this list. Birdienest81talk 08:23, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image review — Pass

[edit]

The only images is appropriately licenced (File:Christopher Nolan, London, 2013 (crop).jpg), and has ALT text. Pass for image review. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:44, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*"particular praise for Nolan's direction, visuals effects, cinematography, sound effects, film editing." - this makes it sounds like Nolan did all those things himself
  • Also, shouldn't it be "visual effects" rather than "visuals effects"
  • "The film received eight nominations at the 90th Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director for Nolan" - it received eight nominations in two categories?
  • "Dunkirk received two nominations at the 75th Golden Globe Awards including" - not really appropriate to say "including" when you then list them both
  • Emma Thomas, one entry for Fionn Whitehead, Mark Rylance, Paul Corbould, Scott Fisher, Thomas J. O’Connell do not sort correctly
  • Also "the cast of Dunkirk" should probably sort under C for cast
  • Sorting on the result column gives (in this order) Won > Runner-up > Nominated > 7th > 6th > 5th > 3rd > 2nd. Surely the numeric placings should sort above merely being nominated, and 2nd should be closest to Won/runner-up rather than furthest away?
  • That's all I got - great work as ever! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:51, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude: - Done: I've read your comments and made adjustments and corrections based on your feedback. Thanks.

* "...its visual effects, cinematography, sound effects, film editing." – incomplete sentence

— RunningTiger123 (talk) 05:14, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RunningTiger123: - Done: I have fixed all the issues based on your comments.
--Birdienest81talk 09:06, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The infobox count still has issues – adding up all of the individual awards/nominations shows 61 wins/162 nominations, which is wrong. My guess is a few awards got missed. RunningTiger123 (talk) 16:41, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@RunningTiger123: - Fixed: I added AFI Awards and National Board of Review to infobox, therfore covering the two missing awards.

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

[edit]
  • Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting |+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
  • Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. --PresN 02:00, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@PresN: - Done: Added table caption to the top of the table for accessibility.

Source review – Pass

[edit]

Doing soon. Aza24 (talk) 08:50, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Version reviewed: [2]
Formatting
  • Ref 3 missing access date
  • Linking of news sites is inconsistent throughout, either a) link everytime, b) link just the first time or c) link not at all
  • Where are you getting "pp. 6" in ref 18?
  • Formatting for ref 23 is different than the other refs?
  • I would also give the Catalan name for ref 44 like you do with the Russian in ref 46
  • Looks good otherwise
Reliability
Verifiability

Comments by FrB.TG

[edit]

This is my first review of an FLC in many, many years. It looks good, almost ready to go. Just some pointers.

  • " Lee Smith was responsible for the editing, and Alex Gibson, Richard King, Gregg Landaker, Gary A. Rizzo, and Mark Weingarten were responsible for the sound effects." Perhaps try to vary the structure of the second part of the sentence to avoid the repetitive "x was responsible for this, y was responsible for that".
  • "Dunkirk grossed $525 million on a $100 million budget." {{nbsp}} needed for $525 million and $100 million.
  • "Dunkirk received three nominations at the 75th Golden Globe Awards for Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director for Nolan, and Best Original Score for Zimmer." Maybe lose "Nolan" in this sentence, as it has already been established in the bit about Oscars that the Best Director nod is for Nolan. FrB.TG (talk) 13:42, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@FrB.TG: - Done I've fixed everything you mentioned in the comments. I've credited Hans Zimmer as composer because I mentioned him that he was nominated for a Golden Globe in the second paragraph. It also enabled me to make variation with the sentences.

Amazing, artful film; really deserved its accolades. And looks like a neat FLC! GeraldWL 16:03, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

* For the infobox, suggest removing the "List of" in "List of accolades received by Dunkirk" as I've never seen it in other articles and, looking at this article in full picture, it's kinda repetitive.
  • "directed, co-produced, and written by"-- I'd like to see a sentence stating the main producer, maybe placed before the Hans Zimmer bit.
  • "Warner Bros. later gave the film a wide release on 21 July at over 3,700 cinemas in the United States and Canada"-- suggest adding sentence on the film's international release.
  • I suggest incorporating the second paragraph in the first one, and then incorporate the last sentence of the second paragraph as the first sentence of the last paragraph. So the lead becomes more organized: there's a paragraph as an overview about Dunkirk, then a summary of the accolades.
  • "his first Oscar nomination in that category"-- readers who don't have much knowledge on the Oscars might be confused on what "Oscar" is. Suggest changing that to "Academy". Plus it's the official name; Oscar is more colloquial.
  • Good job on the table! Have no problems with that.
  • Suggest adding {{Portal|Film}} on "See also".
  • Now onto the refs. TV Guide should be in publisher parameter.
  • Some publishers are linked, while others aren't. Needs consistency.
  • For ref 19, no need to add the Academy abbreviation.
  • Suggest using Template:Cite Box Office Mojo, Template:Cite Rotten Tomatoes, and Template:Cite Metacritic when you cite those sites.
  • Since this article is titled "List of accolades received by Dunkirk", the IMDb link should use the word "accolades" instead of "awards and nominations".
@Gerald Waldo Luis: - Done: I addressed all the comments and made the appropriate corrections based on them. The only thing I did not change was to refs 26, 51, and 52 because those were news articles and the template does not work for those webpages.

I see I see, no problems with those refs. It looks all good now, so you earned another support. Btw if you're interested, I have an FLC myself. GeraldWL 12:29, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
