List of accolades received by The Hours

Nominator(s): JuneGloom07 Talk 03:35, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's been eight years since User:Courcelles and myself brought The Hours to FLC, and it's been largely untouched since that failed nomination. But, with the help of Newspapers.com, I was able to replace that pesky questionable source. I've also improved the article to match recent film award FLs, and I'm willing to carry out any further work suggested. I would love for this one to pass the second time around! - JuneGloom07 Talk 03:35, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"The screenplay is based on the eponymous novel" - I don't think eponymous is the right word here. An eponymous novel by Michael Cunningham would be called "Michael Cunningham". Better to say "the novel of the same title".
"the ceremony saw" - a ceremony cannot see anything, it doesn't have eyes. Find a way to re-word.
"a LGBT-oriented" - "an LGBT-oriented", surely
Refs should be centred
Recipients column sorts on forenames, it should sort on surnames
Also I think the title of the film should sort under H
Neither notes is a complete sentence, so neither needs a full stop.
Think that's it from me..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:37, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you User:ChrisTheDude for your comments. I've made all the fixes, although I believe the list already sorts under H, unless I'm missing something? It is listed under H in the Lists of accolades by film category. - JuneGloom07 Talk 04:07, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The film title definitely sorts under T in the table. You need to use a sort template to make it sort under H i.e. {{sort|Hours|The Hours}} -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:35, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, in the table! Sorry, I totally misunderstood that. Fixed! - JuneGloom07 Talk 23:11, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, it's great to see you back at FLC.

"Nicole Kidman (pictured) was nominated for ten awards for her portrayal of writer Virginia Woolf." (could we include something about her winning the Best Actress Oscar for the role?"
The main image needs alt text
Not sure why the Golden Globes are in the third paragraph as in terms of prestige they are probably only second to the Oscars and the BAFTAs. I'd move them up and move the American Cinema Editors into the third paragraph.
Ref 9 needs a page number
Ref 40 (USC) is dead

Thank you User:Cowlibob, I've made the fixes. - JuneGloom07 Talk 00:08, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support ~~Comments~~ from Aoba47

I am uncertain about the link in the part "The film received nine Academy Award nominations" since it borders a little too closely on WP:EASTEREGG for my taste as I thought the link would be for the general Academy Awards article itself rather than a specific ceremony. As with the sentences on the 56th British Academy Film Awards and the 60th Golden Globe Awards, I would make the link clearer in the prose to avoid any confusion.
This is more of a clarification question than a recommendation. For this sentence "The Hours grossed a worldwide box office total of over $108 million", would it also be helpful to include the film's budget as a point of comparison?
For this sentence "The film was nominated for a total of eight awards from the Satellite and 9th Screen Actors Guild Award ceremonies, but failed to win any.", I do not believe "but failed to win any" is entirely necessary as I think that should already be clear by saying the film was nominated for this awards.

Otherwise, wonderful work with the list. Once my three relatively minor comments are addressed, I will be more than happy to support this for a promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 01:02, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Almost missed this, sorry! I've made the fixes, thank you User:Aoba47. - JuneGloom07 Talk 20:48, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for addressing these points, and apologies for putting up a review so late in this FLC process. I support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 21:07, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was my fault, I wasn't watching this page. Thank you for the support! - JuneGloom07 Talk 21:25, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Since this has a few support comments already, I would recommend requesting a source review in the table on the top of the main FLC page. Aoba47 (talk) 23:17, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review passed; promoting. --Pres N 22:09, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
