Julia Roberts filmography

 * Nominator(s): Cowlibob (talk) 12:19, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Julia Roberts is one of the most successful film actresses. Known for her lead role in romantic comedies such as Pretty Woman, My Best Friend's Wedding, and Notting Hill. She is an actress who helped to break the glass ceiling in Hollywood by commanding pay cheques normally reserved for actors. Roberts also won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Erin Brockovich. As usual look forward to all the helpful comments on how to improve it.

 * Thanks! Cowlibob (talk) 10:45, 29 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Support Good job, looks pretty sound to me!! My only criticism would be that maybe the lede is slightly too long.♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:34, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the support. I've cut down the lead some more. Cowlibob (talk) 11:50, 31 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Comments from Krimuk90
 * I think the length of the lead is being increased by the mention of the Golden Globe categories. So I suggest instead of expanding the category, we simply say Golden Globe Award for Best Actress (Drama) or Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, because the first two paragraphs only deals with her film roles.
 * "Roberts appeared in the black comedy drama August: Osage County, for which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress". "She" missing before "was nominated".
 * I find three instances of "two years later". Can we tweak the prose to reduce that?
 * " The film grossed over $463 million at the worldwide box-office, and sold the highest amount of tickets for a romantic comedy in the United States as of 2014". I think this is a bit too detailed. We can mention either the gross or the latter fact, though it's okay if you feel otherwise. -- KRIMUK  90  ✉  03:31, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Here's my nitpicks..... Very nice work overall. Shouldn't take long to fix up. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:09, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comments from SNUGGUMS
 * "the film sold the highest amount of tickets for a romantic comedy in the United States"..... include a figure
 * "Roberts won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress (Musical or Comedy)"..... for Pretty Woman, I assume? Reword this to make it more explicit
 * "During the late 90s" → "During the late 1990s" per MOS:DATE
 * "She has, as of 2014, executive produced"..... something doesn't seem grammatically correct to say someone "executive produced" something
 * Thanks for the review. I think I've sorted the above points. Cowlibob (talk) 10:19, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * You have, I now support. Snuggums (talk / edits</b>) 14:09, 3 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Support Good work on this one. Just one minor thing, add accessdate to the Time Out source.--Skr15081997 (talk) 11:31, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Good catch. Added. Thanks for the support! Cowlibob (talk) 12:49, 3 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Support Nice work on one of Hollywood's most celebrated actresses. Just one minor thing — In the "Television" section, you don't have to wikilink the television channels everytime. Example for HBO, the wikilink at Baja Oklahoma is enough. Same goes for all channels. Just wikilink each channel once. — Ssven2  speak 2 me 13:10, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the support! The channels are all wikilinked because the column is sortable. Cowlibob (talk) 14:13, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. —  Ssven2  speak 2 me 14:11, 4 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Support: Excellent work!
