List of accolades received by Slumdog Millionaire

 * Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 20:20, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British romantic drama film directed by Danny Boyle and written by Simon Beaufoy. It stars Dev Patel, Freida Pinto, Madhur Mittal, Anil Kapoor, and Irrfan Khan. Based Vikas Swarup's 2005 novel Q & A, the film focuses on an 18-year old game show contestant named Jamal Malik (Patel). After being accused of cheating on Kaun Banega Crorepati, an Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, he recounts to the police how events in his life story enabled him to answer every question correctly. The film won eight Academy Awards including Best Picture at the 2009 ceremony. This is my fourth film accolades list to be nominated for featured list status, and I largely based the format off of the accolades lists for The Artist, The Big Short (film), and 1917 which were promoted in October 2015, January 2021, and November 2020, respectively. will gladly accept your comments to improve this list.

 * Comments
 * Endorse all of the above plus.....
 * It is a British film, so based on my interpretation of WP:TIES the article should use British English. Therefore "Fox Searchlight gave the film a limited release in ten theaters" should be "Fox Searchlight gave the film a limited release in ten cinemas" (we don't call a place where movies are shown a theatre in UK English)
 * Done: Changed theaters into cinemas.


 * Entries in the recipient column which start with a " should sort as if the " isn't there i.e. Jai Ho should sort under J
 * Done: Added sort template so that nominees that have quotations are sorted by the actually name.


 * Suttirat Anne Larlarb does not sort correctly
 * Done: Fixed sorting by adding sorting template using the surname Larlarb.


 * Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:19, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I've addressed all the comments and made the necessary corrections.

 * Accessibility review (WP:DTAB)
 * Tables need a caption: add  to the top, or if the caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it   instead so that it only shows up for screen reader software. -- Pres  N  22:54, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Done: Added table caption accordingly.

Source review – Pass
Will do soon. Aza24 (talk) 03:35, 11 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Formatting
 * Throughout the linking of publishers/works is inconsistent
 * For example, you link European Film Academy and Hollywood Foreign Press Association but not Recording Academy or Variety?
 * Done: Linked publishers and works by their first mention accordingly.


 * A bit confused about ref 2, what's all this "Reuters. uk.reuters.com. Thomson Reuters"
 * Done: Linked publishers and works by their first mention accordingly.


 * Amazon.com seems a bit uncalled for in ref 7
 * Done: I removed publishers since they are unnecessary.


 * I'm assuming there's no web link for "Oscar Surprises Few, Far Between"?
 * I accessed the article via Newspapers.com


 * refs 16 and 17 are missing authors
 * ref 31 seems to not have the full first name of the author
 * why "Variety. Reed Business Information" for ref 52 but not the other variety refs?
 * Done: Linked publishers and works by their first mention accordingly.


 * Reliability
 * There are some questionable sources, but they seem to be the websites of their respective awards, so no worries there.


 * Verifiability
 * ref 3 link is broken
 * Fixed: Replaced Reuters link with Variety one.


 * ref 39 link is not working
 * ref 52 not working
 * ref 56 broken
 * I'm guessing there are other refs broken—maybe archive them all? Aza24 (talk) 04:23, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

NOTE: My internet is broken down at the house I stay most often is down and is currently ongoing repairs. I am still working to address your comments slowly. Also, it is my birthday this weekend, and may be sidelined a bit, but I intend to get this up to FL standards.

 * No rush at all, from your history of first-class FLs, I have no doubt that you'll get around to this when you can. Take all the time you need. Aza24 (talk) 22:14, 19 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Could you do a re-review of the sources since I added new sources resulting in changes?
 * --Birdienest81 (talk) 08:18, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I don't think your original ping worked. Have just looked now, looks great. Pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 01:57, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Comments from HAL
That's all I got. Solid work as usual. ~ HAL  333  16:37, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
 * This is really minor, but there is a subtle change in meaning when you use "an" instead of "the" in Kaun Banega Crorepati, an Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? "an" suggests it is one of many, but Kaun Banega Crorepati is the official version.
 * I wouldn't link Slumdog Millionaire again in the fourth paragraph of the lede.
 * I made both corrections based on your comments. Thanks.
