65th Academy Awards

 * Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 07:06, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

I am nominating the 1993 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, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 were written. Please note that the winners are both indicated with boldface text AND double daggers. This was agreed upon based on a resolution regarding accessbility taken up at the FL nomination for the 2015 Oscars. Birdienest81 (talk) 07:06, 18 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment from jimknut

Support – Looks good. Jimknut (talk) 21:00, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Support – I am not sure when was the last time I supported a nomination without comments. Top work; engaging prose, brilliant references and plenty of content. However, I do have a minor comment: can you rephrase the first sentence of the ceremony information section as it reads a bit odd, especially "riding on the success". Also, it would be pretty good if you change "last year's ceremony" to something like "preceding ceremony" or previous. --  Frankie talk 12:32, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Done: Changed "Riding of the" to simply "After", and changed "last" to "previous". Thanks for the support.

Only two things from me: Outstanding work overall. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:03, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
 * "Ratings and reception" seems rather short for its own subsection, I'd probably move the reviews to here so it has a more reasonably large amount of text
 * In "see also", only List of submissions to the 65th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film has any relevance to this article; remove all the others
 * Done: Merged the ratings section with the reviews. Removed other awards in the "See Also" section.

 * Thank you so much!

 * Support All my comments have been resolved. -  Vivvt  ( Talk ) 08:14, 28 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Why do you keep not mentioning the big 5 in the intro? Nergaal (talk) 03:32, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Done: Mentioned all acting winners.

Support – The list looks to be neatly written and covers the major aspects appropriately. Only one minor comment: with regards to the announcer, you list her as Randi Thomas in the presenters sub-section where in the ceremony information section, she is listed as Randy Thomas. Please correct this. Z105space  (talk)  10:08, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Done: Changed Randi to Randy per these books covering the Oscars: The Big Show by Steve Pond and Inside Oscar 2 by Damien Bona. Thanks for the support.
