Talk:Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Director

No flag icons please
Film festivals are not like international sports events (Olympics, etc) where athlets represent their country, and so flag icons can be placed to stress this fact. Flag icons in film festival award articles give undue weight to the nationality of the actress, actor, director or film. This is so also per WP:MOSFLAGS. Nationality is not mentioned during the award ceremony of film festivals. We mention it here as parethetical additional information, so a simple parenthesis after the name is informative and appropriate without undue weight. Hoverfish Talk 18:04, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

– Per the festival's official website (see, e.g., any recent edition of the 71 total editions), which uses Award for Best X. Therefore, we should standardize to either: (A): Award for Best X (Cannes Film Festival), with a parenthetical disambiguator; or (B): Cannes Film Festival Award for Best X, which follows a more natural-language format. For (B), we would need to move the following articles: Thanks, -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:46, 17 November 2019 (UTC) —Relisted. – Ammarpad (talk) 09:59, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Best Director Award (Cannes Film Festival) → Award for Best Director (Cannes Film Festival)
 * Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actor → Award for Best Actor (Cannes Film Festival)
 * Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress → Award for Best Actress (Cannes Film Festival)
 * Best Screenplay Award (Cannes Film Festival) → Award for Best Screenplay (Cannes Film Festival)
 * Best Director Award (Cannes Film Festival) to Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Director
 * Best Screenplay Award (Cannes Film Festival) to Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Screenplay
 * Support option B: As in, Cannes Film Festival Award for Best X, the "more natural-language format". This would be consistent with the format used for the titles of articles for the various Academy Awards categories, BAFTA categories, Golden Globe categories, Saturn Awards categories, and even Razzie categories. – Matthew  - (talk) 19:53, 19 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Support B. WP:CONSISTENT with how award categories are titled here. --Gonnym (talk) 10:49, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
