Remaining work for this article

[edit]

I figured I'd comment here instead of continuing on my talk page – here are my thoughts are what still needs to happen, broken down by section in the current 94th Academy Awards article:

  1. Eligibility and nominations – mostly covered by the "Rule and eligibility period changes" section now; a few additional details from here might be notable but I'm not too worried
  2. Records – much more manageable in this version, there may be a few more details worth adding, but again, not too worried
  3. Winners and nominees – maybe it's just my browser, but the pictures seem to cause issues here. I think {{col-float}} causes issues – that template has to go below the pictures for some reason, leaving a lot of blank space between the two sections. (Past years can have similar issues, but it's not as noticeable on my browser.) Unless there's a technical fix, removing (some) pictures may be the best fix.
  4. Ceremony
    1. COVID-19 protocols – might merit a short paragraph of discussion, but not as essential as last year
    2. Oscars Fan Favorite – also might merit brief discussion
    3. Effort to shorten the ceremony – I've significantly shortened this and merged it with "Removal of several categories from live broadcast"; feel free to adjust.
    4. Viewership of Best Picture nominees – only needs to stay if we want to match layout of other Academy Award articles (which generally include it)
    5. Critical reviews – good
    6. Ratings and reception – add the recent Emmy nominations
  5. Controversies
    1. Rachel Zegler attendance – this always felt way overblown to me and I'm happy to see it go
    2. Remarks about animated films – borderline inclusion, but leaning against it
    3. Removal of several categories from live broadcast – see above
    4. Response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine – also a borderline case leaning oppose
    5. Will Smith–Chris Rock slapping incident – added; feel free to tweak
  6. Presenters and performers – good
  7. "In Memoriam" – good

Obviously these are just one person's thoughts, so feel free to add yours as well. RunningTiger123 (talk) 02:31, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
