86th Academy Awards

 * Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 02:10, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

I am nominating the 2014 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I also followed how the 1929, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013 Oscars were written. Since the ceremony is nominated for several Emmys, I prefer that the list be promoted until at least after August 16. Also, if you see someone changing the double dagger to boldface, please revert it promptly.--Birdienest81 (talk) 02:10, 12 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Support Great list. Learnt something new to boot. Cowlibob (talk) 17:33, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Support: Very organized and provides adequate information.--Jagarin 23:51, 15 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes Ellen is an actress, but I'd call her a talk show host currently.
 * Comma after "nominations were revealed", no comma after "finally"
 * An Adele Dazeem twitter account isn't notable, that seems to happen for everything nowadays.
 * No comma after "In Memoriam tribute", and a period after Barry. Reywas92 Talk 03:25, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Done: I fixed everything you mentioned above. I dropped the Adele Dazeem twitter account phrase altogether. Thanks for the help.

 * Support, nicely done. I do follow the FLC page, so you don't have to notify me every time. Reywas92 Talk 01:14, 19 July 2014 (UTC)


 * In the critical reviews section, I would replace the informal words, such as lamented, quipped, raved etc, with the more traditional wrote, reviewed, noted, said etc. Other than that, this one has my support. Great job once again. :)-- KRIMUK  90  ✉  03:40, 17 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Support. Excellent and well-sourced list. --Carioca (talk) 19:42, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Support Nice work as usual.--Earthh (talk) 19:23, 20 July 2014 (UTC)


 * "The telecast garnered nearly 44 million viewers in the United States, making it the most watched Oscar ceremony since the 72nd Academy Awards in 2000." — Source? Jimknut (talk) 22:36, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Done: Added resource. The Wrap is an :entertainment business journal, not a gossip website. And some media outlets will round off 43.7 to the nearest whole number therefore 44 million.
