61st Academy Awards

 * Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 01:51, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating the 1989 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I read the requirements and criteria. I also followed how the 1929, 1990, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2009, 2010, and 2012 Oscars were written.

Good work again, Reywas92 Talk 08:23, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Heyman and Moonjean in the best Picture box can be linked.
 * I know you try to put related awards in adjacent boxes; should sound editing and mixing go next to each other?
 * -> 1950s movie musicals
 * In presenters list, I'm not sure why 'Set Direction' is included for Defoe and Hackman for the Art Direction award.
 * Why wasn't there a host?
 * Fixed: I fixed everything mentioned above. As for the "no host" thing, in one of the references its says...
 * "Carr said there will be no principal host on the show. ``No comedians, no Chevy Chase, no emcee. It`s going to be like a relay race from star to star to star-a true cavalcade of stars. We`re calling them star participants. Jane Fonda, for example, is going to introduce one of the five `best film` clips and then she`ll introduce her godfather, Jimmy Stewart, who will appear with Kim Novak after we show a clip of them together in Vertigo.


 * So I stated in the ceremony info that, "Instead of hiring a host for the proceedings, he heavily relied on presenters often grouped in pairs as either couples, compadres, co-stars, or companions."

 * Drive-by comment: Didn't Who Framed Roger Rabbit win three awards? The article says four. If it won a special achievement award, it has not been mentioned.-- kri muk  90 07:09, 4 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Fixed: I added the reason for Richard Williams Special Achievement Oscar. The link provided indicates the award was given to honor Who Framed Roger Rabbit. AMPAS officially gives Roger Rabbit's awards tally at four.


 * Support: Terrific job on prose, references, and organization.--Jagarin 17:09, 7 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Support, i only found minor problems (listed below) that are not a reason to oppose. Spotcheck not done.
 * "took place March 29, 1989" -> for consistency with all the other AA events "took place on March 29, 1989"
 * "Salaam Bombay! (India) Hindi – Mira Nair" -> should be "in Hindi", per consistency
 * "turned out to be a TV nyet" -> nyet ©   Tb hotch ™ (en-2.5). 01:44, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed: I fixed everything mentioned above. I'm very grateful for your help!
