94th Academy Awards

 * Nominator(s): Birdienest81  talk  and RunningTiger123 (talk) 08:04, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

We are nominating the 2022 Oscars for featured list because we believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. We followed how the 1929, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 ceremonies were written.

Comments from ChrisTheDude

 * "This marked the first time that three people have shared hosting duties" => "This marked the first time that three people had shared hosting duties"
 * "with DJ Khaled introducing the hosts and athletes Tony Hawk, Kelly Slater, and Shaun White introducing" - this is very confusing - are all three people hosts and athletes? Just athletes?  Or are just Hawk and Slater athletes?  I can't figure out at all which descriptors apply to which people......
 * "Will Smith walked onstage and slapped presenter and comedian Chris Rock over a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith." - unclear from this wording whose wife she is
 * "Most media outlets were more critical of the show." - more critical than whom?
 * "performed by muscial group The Samples" - "musical" is spelt wrong
 * That's what I got :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:03, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Done: I have read all your comments and made adjustments accordingly.

 * Reliability
 * All high-quality news sources, no issues found.


 * Verifiability

 * Pass for source review.  Aza24  (talk)   00:08, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Comments from Harushiga

 * "portraying Anita in the 2021 film adaption" - change "adaption" to "adaptation"
 * "during an interview with producer Packer on Good Morning America" - I don't think "producer" is needed since it's already established at the start of the paragraph
 * That's about it. Good job on this! Harushiga (talk) 06:36, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. RunningTiger123 (talk) 12:30, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Comments from SNUGGUMS

 * "The winners were announced during the awards ceremony on March 27." is missing a citation
 * Use straight quotation marks ('") instead of curly ones (’”) per MOS:CURLY
 * Under "Ceremony information", the triple image caption feels incomplete to only have a "left" parenthetical for Regina Hall without adding "center" or "right" for Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes.
 * It reads awkwardly to use "citing" within "citing time constraints and the desire to avoid another disruption". You'd be better off with "due to" or "because of".
 * To avoid WP:SYNTH, you should add a reference to back up "The broadcast generally received mixed to negative reviews." with something that specifically talks about overall reception.

This will need work to become FL-worthy but you should be able to handle it. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 15:10, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I've addressed almost all of the comments up above, but I have trouble locating the curly quotation marks. I tried copying the curly quotes syntax from the MOS:CURLY, but it highlights all the quotation marks. Is there a way to locate the curly ones from the straight ones?
 * -- Birdienest81 talk  08:51, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It's something you'd have to locate with your own eyes. Look under the "Ceremony information" heading to find them. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 14:19, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * User:SNUGGUMS, User:Birdienest81: you don't have to eyeball it to locate it, at least using Firefox. Copy the left-curly-quotes character, hit Ctrl-F to "find", and check the "match diacritics" box ... it will search for just the curly quotes, rather than all kinds of quote marks. - Dank (push to talk) 14:37, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * But ... I'm not finding any curly quotes in this list article at the moment. - Dank (push to talk) 14:57, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The first paragraph has "Will is a powerhouse producer who has enjoyed success across all movie genres! He’s already bringing a boundless energy and a focus on innovation to this year’s Oscars, to entertain the widest spectrum of fans." while the second one includes "Some are movie lovers who have seen every single one of the nominated movies, and they’ve got very specific opinions about who wins. And then you have people who are just casual moviegoers, who perhaps have not seen the awards fare but who also love movies. I’m inviting them in as well. They’re just as important to me as a viewer." Hopefully this helps. SNUGGUMS (talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b>) 15:10, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm confused; those are straight quotes. I know both by eyeballing them and by searching for straight quotes in Firefox with the "match diacritics" box toggled. - Dank (push to talk) 15:50, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

That's quite weird. Maybe it's because I'm using Chrome, but those instances showed as curly for me while others were straight. <b style="color:#009900">SNUGGUMS</b> (<b style="color:#009900">talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b>) 15:54, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, it looks like I was able to fix the curly apostrophes/quotes problem. I used the same "match diatrics" feature (Ctrl+F). Although it still does not distinguish between straight and curly ones, I was able to eyeball them more easily this time since I can see the highlighted apostrophes/quotes more clearer.

 * With that, you have my support for the nomination :) <b style="color:#009900">SNUGGUMS</b> (<b style="color:#009900">talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b>) 12:09, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
