80th Academy Awards

 * Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 22:42, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

I am re-nominating the 2008 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. The previous nomination did not result in FL status, because I was unable to keep up with comments due to personal and education issues. I know there is still some concerns, but I will be updating the list within the next two weeks due to my winter break allowing me to make changes before school resumes on January 4. I also followed how the 1929, 1987, 1988, 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.

 * I don't think we need the "actor" bit for Jon Stewart in the lead
 * The Coen brothers' picture caption should also note their win for Best Picture
 * In "Ceremony information", ’ should be ' while “ and ” should be " per MOS:QUOTEMARKS
 * Did the first two, but I don't understand what you mean by the last one. Do you want me to remove words or add them?

Source review – concerning the reliability and consistency of sources, I had provided my comments above, which are addressed. Using this version as a reference point for the numbering of the footnotes:
 * Fixed the quotation mark issue myself here, thankfully nothing major. I now support this for FL. Snuggums (talk / edits) 06:36, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Ref 2 – used twice. Article faithful to the source. One thing needed is replace -- with —.
 * Ref 3 – used twice. Article faithful to the source.
 * Ref 10 – used twice. Article faithful to the source.
 * Ref 18 – used twice. However, the source does not support the fact that she became the eleventh performer for double acting nominations. It only says it "made her the third double acting nominee of the decade".
 * Ref 30 – used twice. Article faithful to the source.
 * Ref 31 – used twice. Article faithful to the source. --  Frankie talk 13:41, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
