List of accolades received by Moneyball (film)

 * Nominator(s): —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 16:02, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Moneyball is a 2011 sports drama film about the general manager of a baseball team trying to build it by using a statistical, sabermetric approach to selecting players and the results he gets through his methods. The film is notable for garnering its lead actor, Brad Pitt, several awards and nominations. It is my tenth attempt at an accolades FLC and my first attempt at a Hollywood film accolades list. Any constructive comments to improve this list are most welcome. — Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 16:02, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for asking me for help, it has been longgg. I am sure none of my concenrs and very serious, and can be addressed easily. Great work on the list as always. Good luck with you first Hollywood list Ssven2! Numerounovedant  Talk  18:23, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Comments form Vedant
 * I think the "based on the aforementioned book" is really unnecessary. It's mostly redundant and read a a little awkward.
 * I am not sure if "theatrically released" should be "released theatrically". I've gone over both so many times that i can't seem to figure which is right. But, you should cross check.
 * "against its $50 million budget" - can be framed better?
 * "Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, surveyed 247 reviews and judged 94% to be positive" - That's a really unusual way of putting the RT rating. Doesn't mean that there​ is anything necessarily wrong with it, but it just seems a little odd.
 * "The film has been" - present perfect?
 * "Pitt and Hill have received" - again?
 * The last paragraph can be reworked a little. It's mostly one dimensional with a lot of similar sentences one after the other. There are also sentences like "It won all of its nominations at the New York Film Critics Circle", that read a little odd to me.
 * I have hopefully resolved your comments, Vedant. Do let me know if there is anything more, thanks. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 14:49, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Comments by Wehwalt
Hi Sven, good to see you back. Just a few comments, I can really only deal with the prose.
 * "The film features Brad Pitt, who also co-produced it, in the lead role with Jonah Hill" I would not separate "Brad Pitt" from" in the lead role".
 * "decide to build the team by opting for a sabermetric approach towards selecting players." I might change "towards" to "to"
 * " and won the Best Song for Kerris Dorsey's rendition of the song "The Show"." I would cut the first "the".--Wehwalt (talk) 17:06, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
