Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 22:05, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating the 1987 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I also followed how the 1929, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Oscars were written.

Comments –

  • Winners and nominees: Paul Newman's character was Fast Eddie Felson, not Nelson.
  • Presenters and Performers: Last word of this heading should be decapitalized. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:25, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done: I fixed both errors mentioned above.

Comments
  • Combine the Marlee Matlin sentences together. e.g. "...was the first deaf performer to win an Oscar as well as the youngest winner in ..."
  • Also the attached Chicago tribune source doesn't support this, from what I read all it says is that she is deaf and was nominated. Nothing about winning or being the first or the youngest.
  • Paul Newman needs a link at the first mention. Link his sentences together. "same character in two different films, having previously earned a nomination..."
  • Ratings don't match the source. 37.19 million is what I see in the source. Replace this in the infobox and the article text.
  • "The following individuals presented awards for performed musical numbers" I think you mean or.
  • Presenters of the award for Best Animated Short Film
  • Is Sing Me the Song not from a film? or was it just the introductory thing talked about in the article?
  • Despite the Chase --> Despite Chase
  • In the review section I would avoid terms like complained, lamented and bemoaned. Try to be as passive as possible irrespective of the negative or positive content.

@Cowlibob:*Done:I fixed everything you mentioned above. The Bernadette Peters intro song is mentioned in the article so I changed it to "Sang introdcutions..." as generic role. Changed Matlin references to books (an I'm sure the Illinois book is credible).

  • Support With all that taken care of, great list. If you want non-book sources for the Marlee Matlin facts: you could use these: youngest [[2]], first deaf [[3]]. Another minor thing, the article is tagged as having a citation with an accessdate but no url, look through your references to find the culprit.

  • Support: Nicely done, once again.--Jagarin 18:32, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
