60th Academy Awards

 * Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 18:09, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I am nominating the 1988 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I also followed how the 1929, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 were written.

 * And the big five go to? And I've heard so much complaining about Cher getting an award I am surprised it isn't covered in here. Nergaal (talk) 16:26, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Done: Added the major winners in the intro. As for people objecting to Cher's Best Actress win, that is a point of view issue that will not be covered due to Wikipedia:NPOV.

Support — Looks good. Jimknut (talk) 00:44, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Support Thank you for the replies. For the ones you did not change, I think they are fairly minor and am fine with them remaining the way that they are. If you could review this for me (an accolades list for Lost in Translation as a QPQ, I would be very grateful, as it desperately needs a couple more reviews. Thanks!  Johanna (talk to me!) 03:19, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the support. I'll try to like at your FLC (barring Christmas festivities and parties). I also added a few more citations regarding Goldwyn and Chase being selected as producer and hosts. So there you have it.

 * "became the eighth film to win Best Picture without any acting nominations" when was this achieve last? "a dull and anticlimactic atmosphere" should be probably be put in quotes. Also, might be outside the scope of the current nomination, but did anybody suggest that "a dull and anticlimactic atmosphere" might lead to decreased viewership the following years? Nergaal (talk) 20:12, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Done: Added mention of Gigi being the last Best Picture winner without acting nominations in the intro. As for the "dull and anticlimactic atmosphere" in the reviews section, those words were not found in the actual review. It was just me paraphrasing a section of the review to summarize what he was saying. Also, insinuating that a dull and anticlimactic atmosphere would lead to decreased viewership in future years is false. Five of the eight following ceremonies had increased viewership (exceptions were 1990, 1994, and 1996). Furthermore, we can't synthesize or suggest questionable facts without verifiable information (SYNTH).

 * What were the two special awards for? Nergaal (talk) 20:53, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Done: Added explanations for the non-competitve awards.

Let's have a look..... That's all from me. Snuggums (talk / edits) 19:59, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Not sure if "The Last Emperor became the first film since 1958's Gigi to win Best Picture without any acting nominations and the eighth film overall to achieve that distinction" is necessary; seems better for the film's article
 * "Moreover, its clean sweep of its nine nominations tied Gigi's nine awards for the largest sweep for a single film in Oscar history at the time"..... tone doesn't seem right, try "It became the first film since 1958's Gigi to earn nine Oscar nominations".
 * File:Cher Empire Cinema Cropped.jpg doesn't seem to give as clear of a view of Cher's face as File:Cher - Casablanca.jpg, even if it's in color while the other is in black and white
 * "Jr." in "Three months later, Goldwyn, Jr." isn't needed since there is no other Goldwyn being discussed in the article
 * None of the links in "see also" except for List of submissions to the 60th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film are relevant to this article and should therefore be removed
 * Done: Replied to all your comments and made the appropriate fixes.
