repeated removal of content by IP user
Just a note that I have left a warning to on their IP address' talk page explaining that they are disruptively editing by repeatedly removing content from this page without leaving an explanation in an edit summary. —Joeyconnick (talk) 20:54, 20 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Have now warned both and  for the exact same edits done in the exact same way (i.e. same removed content with no explanation). Suspect this is sockpuppetry. —Joeyconnick (talk) 20:01, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * User reported for edit-warring. —Joeyconnick (talk) 03:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The edit is correct! Let the schedule be edited according to it's events! If an event has passed, then let people remove it! Editmaster4 (talk) 00:16, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Schedule
The schedule needs be edited accordingly. If a date is past, it doesn't need to be there. Keeping it in it's entirety is pointless if it mentions pass events, so lets remove the past dates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editmaster4 (talk • contribs) 19:11, 3 January 2023 (UTC)


 * That's nonsensical: if we removed record of things simply because they've already happened, we wouldn't have an encyclopedia. —Joeyconnick (talk) Joeyconnick (talk) 04:52, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * What's nonsensical, is keeping something that'll be deleted after the award show itself. So might as well begin the proper, and sensical, process and delete the events at are now past. 208.92.185.246 (talk) 19:38, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Accuracy in names
Colin Farrell's character in The Banshees of Inisherin is incorrect listed as Pardraic Suillebhain, this should read Pádraic Súilleabháin. 89.19.88.170 (talk) 14:05, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Total number of new acting nominees
I noticed a discrepancy; there are 16 first time nominees this year. Furthermore, this is a record, but a tied one, with the 1936 ceremony. Cross referenced with this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_actors_with_Academy_Award_nominations 2600:2B00:A325:8A00:E999:E764:5738:768A (talk) 13:05, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Ireland, 3rd country to have 5 acting nominees in the one year
Ireland has become the 3rd country to have 5 or more acting nominees in the one year. (The USA and UK are 1st and 2nd)

Source: https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/ireland-toasts-record-oscar-success-with-14-nominations-2023-01-24/

"Only the United States and Britain - with populations and film industries that dwarf Ireland's - have been represented by five or more acting nominees in a single year in the awards' near 100-year history, according to Reuters calculations." 109.76.14.194 (talk) 18:41, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Box office information
Hey guys, I was wondering if someone can enter in domestic box office information for this year. I know it wasn't done the past 2 years due to obvious reasons (COVID) - but I do feel it's noteworthy this year since apparently the domestic total gross at the time of nomination (January 24) is the highest in history - beating 2009's record of 1.5 billion. Derekdirk5 (talk) 04:16, 4 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Forgot to add the article/sources in my comment.
 * 2022's total is 1.574 billion, beating 2009's record of 1.519 billion.
 * Domestic grosses at time of nominations announcement: Top Gun: Maverick 718.7 million / Avatar 598.4 million / Elvis 151 million / Everything, Everywhere All At Once 70 million / The Fabelmans 15 million / The Banshees of Inisherin 9 million / Tar 5.6 million / Triangle of Sadness 4.2 million / Women Talking 1.1 million / All Quiet on the Western Front N/A due to Netflix-only release.

Missing wikilinks [fixed ✔️]
Would someone please add the following two links:

Both An Irish Goodbye (film) and The Red Suitcase in the Best Live Action Short Film category have Wikipedia entries the titles should be linked to.

(And both Ivalu and Night Ride (in the same category) are also unlinked, but I couldn't find any Wiki entries for those two yet.) Silverscreened (talk) 08:45, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Done. DRMcCreedy (talk) 23:20, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Great. Thanks. Silverscreened (talk) 00:29, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Wikilink for Ivalu [fixed ✔️]
There's now a wiki entry for Ivalu (film), so please link this title in the Best Live Action Short Film category.

(And then only Night Ride remains unlinked). Silverscreened (talk) 06:06, 17 February 2023 (UTC)


 * ✅ here Jolly1253 (talk) 06:34, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Wikilink for Night Ride [fixed ✔️]
Turns out even Night Ride (2020 film) had a stub entry, so please link this final title as well. Thanks! Silverscreened (talk) 07:41, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Error in Winners and nominees
The section on Winners and nominees states that "Additionally, paired with Yeoh's Best Actress nomination and Ke Huy Quan's Best Supporting Actor nomination, it marked the first time that Asian actors were nominated across multiple acting categories in the same year."

This information is false. The 93rd Academy Awards (2021) saw both Steven Yeun (Korean-American, born in Seoul) and Youn Yuh-jung (South Korean) nominated in different acting categories, both for their work on Minari. It may be the first time that there are Asian nominees in 3 different categories (I haven't verified that), but it is not the first time that there are Asian nominees in "multiple acting categories".

Mention Andrea Risebourough's Nomination?
Andrea Risebourough's Oscar nomination has caused quite the stir because of the unorthodox way it was campaigned for: the Academy even convined its board to look over the process and allegations. My Question: Should we mention this in the article? And, if so, how? Inspector Semenych (talk) 21:27, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That's the Razzies Espngeek (talk) 22:11, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

When does the award ceremony take place?
Okay, it is on March 12, 2023.

That does not tell us what time it begins. Why leave out that information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:200:c082:2ea0:9845:d975:69b5:e901 (talk) 2:28, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

A24 "top five"
The article states, "A24 won a total of nine awards, more than any other studio or distributor; between Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Whale, the studio swept the "top five" awards — Best Picture and the four acting awards."

A24 did sweep the "top five," but the top five are Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay (Adapted or Original), and Best Actor and Actress. Please correct. Tigerfan5150 (talk) 14:26, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

The end of prestige fare?
The article saying EEAAO's wins signal the "end of the popularity and relevance of theatrically released prestige fare" feels presumptuous about future ceremonies. Can we adjust that to be more factual? Paststrange (talk) 11:38, 13 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Here's a better article that discusses this situation. HM2021 (talk) 00:16, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * That says nothing like what you claim. It just asserts that 2022 was a "down" year for "prestige cinema", not that the entire concept of "prestige cinema" is already dead and buried for all time. We've been through times like this before, when "unexpected" films won Best Picture (Midnight Cowboy, anyone?) without somehow destroying the entire established concept of what was an "Oscar film". If five years from now Best Picture has been won exclusively by sequels to and imitations of EEAAO, then maybe you'll have a point — but one year doesn't singlehandedly clinch it, and the sources you're showing aren't claiming that it does. Bearcat (talk) 00:38, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I’ve had almost the exact same discussion here. Spectrallights (talk) 00:54, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with the opinion that such a statement is premature crystal ball-gazing and at worst original research or personal opinion. There's also the fact definitions are evolving; up until a few years ago Netflix productions would have been considered made-for-TV movies and ineligible for Oscars, but now they are, notably this year with All Quiet. Next year's Oscars could be all-prestige movies. It's along the same lines as those who predicted there would be no Oscars presentation at all in 2023 because of ratings, COVID hanging on and "the slap". People did make such predictions and they were wrong. 23skidoo (talk) 20:25, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Boycott calls
No attention to Taylor Swift’s Tweets calling for a boycott of the ceremony and all broadcasters airing the ceremony after her “clear and obvious exclusion” from the ceremony despite “the best picture ever made in All Too Well, Dr. Swift’s direction in said film AND Dr. Swift’s gripping portrayal In Amsterdam that will redefine drama instruction for generations?” Choppinbroc (talk) 14:08, 24 January 2023 (UTC) XD Espngeek (talk) 19:17, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Merle Oberon
Merle Oberon not Michelle Yeoh is the first Asian Actress to be nominated for Best Actress back in 1936. Please remove misinformation on Yeoh 2600:8800:5809:4100:54E5:6AF2:3390:756D (talk) 16:27, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

In memoriam
I added two things: one that a URL for more tributes was shown at the end of the segment (has anyone checked to see if any of the people mentioned as being omitted were included); I also noted (I know without source, but this is common sense) that some people cannot be included due to passing away too close to the broadcast, after the tribute segment would have been edited and timed out; such was the case with Sizemore and Topol at least, both of whom died only days before the show. 23skidoo (talk) 20:16, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Chadwick Boseman correction
"Comparisons were made to Chadwick Boseman not winning Best Actor for his role in the first Black Panther film." Chadwick Boseman lost Best Actor for his role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. 2601:600:8780:ECB0:FCEC:988E:413C:EB56 (talk) 02:42, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
