Room is a 2015 drama directed by Lenny Abrahamson. It is best remembered for the Oscar winning performance of Brie Larson as an abducted woman forced to live in a small room with her child born while in captivity. The film received many awards which are listed here. As always I look forward to the constructive comments on how to improve it. Cowlibob (talk) 23:15, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ribbet32: Thanks for your comment. I've adjusted the size of the infobox size image so now the table is not cramped. Also moved Academy Awards to fourth para so that the third is only the national awards. Cowlibob (talk) 09:47, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • "an abducted mother held captive for seven years with her five year old son" - either five-year or five years.
  • I don't think it would be bad idea to combine the second para with the first.
  • "Larson went on to win the Academy Award for Best Actress" - the Academy was just mentioned in the previous line. No need for "Academy Award for".
  • "Larson also received" - using the pronoun will also do.
  • When I sort Recipient(s) and nominee(s) the first one to appear is "Jack's escape and rescue", followed by "Outside" and "Room". I think it is due to the quotation sign.
  • The Golden Trailer is a bit confusing to me; did the film win the same award (Independent Trailer) for "Outside" and "Room"? Are they the titles for the trailers?
  • For the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television Award for Best Achievement in Direction, I think it should read as Best Achievement in Direction not simply Best Direction.
  • The names of the recipients for Casting Society of America's Feature Film Studio or Independent Drama appear in random order. It should be arranged in alphabetical order (last name wise).
  • Ref 15 and 34 - Entertainment Weekly. I think you know what to do.
  • Is News Blaze a reliable source? – FrB.TG (talk) 08:47, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@FrB.TG: Thanks for your review. I think I've sorted the above. The order of nominees in Casting Society of America Awards is per the source which is the press release of the organisation. The about page for NewsBlaze I think provides enough information that it's a reliable source as it shows they have an editorial policy. [[2]] Cowlibob (talk) 04:40, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support sorry for the late response. Also, I hope that you can review my and Famous Hobo's FLC for listings of Bradley Cooper's films. Cheers! – FrB.TG (talk) 15:59, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment First para of lead reads really clunkily to me, lots of very short, almost disconnected sentences. Otherwise this is top notch. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:00, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for having a look at the list. I've made some tweaks to the lead, let me know what you think. Cowlibob (talk) 21:36, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, a shade better, so I'll support this nom. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:48, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, source review passed, promoting. --PresN 21:36, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
