International Film Music Critics Association Award for Best Original Score for a Video Game or Interactive Media

 * Nominator(s): ~ Matthewrb  Talk to me &middot;  Changes I've made 18:39, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it's a complete coverage of the award. I have split the table into individual tables, illustrated this article with pictures of the composers, and checked references. Thanks to User:TophatCounselor who built the first version of this article. ~ Matthewrb  Talk to me &middot;  Changes I've made 18:39, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Comments by A. C. Santacruz

 * Just noting that many of the images are either too vertically large or the subject seems small within the picture, so I would highly recommend cropping the images and reuploading to commons for use here in order to include only the bust of the winners. A. C. Santacruz &#8258; Please ping me! 21:12, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note. Unfortunately, many of these performers don't have headshots on Commons, and many of the images are too low resolution to crop. For example, File:WataruHokoyama2009.jpg has File:WataruHokoyama2009_(cropped).jpg but that's just trash... ~  Matthewrb  Talk to me &middot;  Changes I've made 03:27, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
 * When I combined the tables, I removed some of the more questionable images, and tried to stick with either action shots or headshots.~ Matthewrb  Talk to me &middot;  Changes I've made 17:04, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Another comment, it seems to me having both the section headers and the list titles (2020s + Awards in the 2020s) is redundant. I'd suggest removing the table titles. A. C. Santacruz &#8258; Please ping me! 20:17, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Converted to screen reader only. ~ Matthewrb  Talk to me &middot;  Changes I've made 22:52, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Drive-by comments: Two quick things that stand out are the use of individual tables (a single large table with a year column is generally preferred) and the placement of winners (winners are generally placed before all other nominations in a given year).

 * Do we have a discussion about the single table vs multiple tables? I went multiple tables because I've been told it screen readers to use rowspans and colspans (I actually was trying to find a way around it for citations...) as well as allow the article to be illustrated.  Of course, I can convert it back.


 * As for the row winners, done. ~ Matthewrb  Talk to me &middot;  Changes I've made 03:27, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
 * The single table format has been the trend for a while; recently traced it at another FLC. I've also used single-table formats for most of my FLCs, and I've found it useful because it allows sorting to be added. I wouldn't mind something like the FL Academy Award for Best Actress, which splits by decade, but splitting by year just adds too much whitespace, in my opinion. As to the rowspan/colspan part, I'm not sure what you're getting at, but those should be added to the tables. RunningTiger123 (talk) 03:54, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I have combined the tables, thanks for the information. I'll keep it in mind for the future. ~  Matthewrb  Talk to me &middot;  Changes I've made 17:04, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

 * Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting + caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting + instead.
 * Tables need column scopes for all column header cells, which in combination with row scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Column scopes can be added by adding !scope=col to each header cell, e.g.  becomes.
 * Tables need row scopes on the "primary" column for each row, which in combination with column scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Row scopes can be added by adding !scope=row to each primary cell, e.g.  becomes.
 * Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. -- Pres N  19:20, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Comments Support and (pass) source review from Gerald Waldo Luis
Not sure what intrigued me to make these comments; the fact that the title is uniquely long, or that I am fond of soundtracks. But anyways.  Gerald WL  07:29, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Additionally I've done a source spotcheck and they all look good, the sources are also reliable. However some concerns:
 * In ref 1, "| IFCMA: International Film Music Critics Association" is redundant
 * All "IFCMA"s must be extended to "International Film Music Critics Association"
 * I've expanded it for the publisher. I opted to leave titles with "IFCMA" as that is the official title of the article in all cases.
 * In the Variety reference you link to the Variety article, but you don't do the same for other refs. Also "Variety Media LLC" must be "Penske Media Corporation"; similar case with the AwardsCircuit, ColonneSonore.net, and TheWrap refs. LLCs also don't have to be mentioned.
 * If ref 12 is a dead link and no archives can be found, it must be replaced with a different source.
 * AwardsDaily, AwardsWatch, and Massively Overpowered should be in website parameter instead of publisher.


 * All done, except for a couple of notes above. ~  Matthewrb  Talk to me &middot;  Changes I've made 19:04, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Looks all good now. Support and source pass. Nice work!  Gerald WL  02:07, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

A single comment from Panini!
Accessibility and sources look good per the two above me, so only one thing is barring my support; I find it quite odd that Austin Wintory doesn't have a photo here, despite having the most awards and nominations. Could this image be cropped down and used? Panini! • 🥪 22:26, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * There seems to already be a cropped version available, here.  Gerald WL  01:04, 6 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Done Image (re-)added. ~ Matthewrb  Talk to me &middot;  Changes I've made 05:57, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. Good Job! Panini!  • 🥪 13:51, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
