Faulty actor lists

I tried fixing some of the bogus actors listed along the right side after I was unable to find the last edit which had the correct names, but it would be a 2-3 hour job at least. Just want to notify the regulars here of the problem. -- User:John DiFool2 12:50, 18 March 2011 (EDT)

Objectivity and professionalism

I'm getting a little tired of the unprofessional and biased edits that have been made to the "Criticism" section of this article lately. Look, I understand that we all have our little beefs with the Academy's choices, but rants, uncited speculation and unecessary additions to this section are inappropriate and should be deleted immediately. Personally, I'm okay with the section as it is now, but I won't discourage someone from editing or adding something to change it, as long as it actually contributes something and doesn't make Wikipedia look like a fanboy forum. -- metafact (talk) 5:20, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Dolores del Rio

A friend of mine who is a Dolores del Rio biographer pointed out that she was not married to Gibbons before 1930, a fact reported as well in the corresponding article at Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolores_del_R%C3%ADo

Given that, shouldn't the line "In need of a model for his statuette Gibbons was introduced by his then wife Dolores del Río to Mexican film director and actor Emilio "El Indio" Fernández." be edited or even removed?

Changed to read "future wife". Ozzieboy (talk) 00:55, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Contradiction

From 1930–1943, the awards were presented first at the Ambassador Hotel in Hollywood. Then the Oscar ceremonies were held at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles from 1930 to 1943.

According to this article ... List of Academy Awards ceremonies ... between 1930 and 1943, the awards ceremonies alternated between The Ambassador Hotel and the Biltmore Hotel. Hope that helps! Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 23:42, 29 January 2012 (UTC))

I think you should edit the article Wikishagnik (talk) 18:42, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Telecast or radio broadcast?

The true-story movie Changeling (the one with Angelina Jolie) has the Oscar ceremony broadcast over the radio, as I recall, but no mention is made of this in the article. Softlavender (talk) 23:43, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
