List of accolades received by The Big Short (film)

 * Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 08:26, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

The Big Short is a 2015 American biographical comedy-drama film directed by Adam McKay and produced by Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Arnon Milchan. It was written by McKay and Charles Randolph. The film stars Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Pitt. Based on Michael Lewis's novel of the same name, the film chronicles how events during the United States housing bubble led inadvertently to the 2007-08 financial crisis. This is my third film accolades list I am attempting to promote, and I largely based the format off of the accolades lists for The Artist and 1917 which were promoted in October 2015 and November 2020, respectively. I will gladly accept your comments to improve this list. Birdienest81 (talk) 08:26, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Comments by Alexandra
 * The picture lacks alt text.
 * There is an alt text description in the "alt1=" field of the infobox (it is underneath the "image_size" field and above "caption" field. Furthermore, according to WP:ALT, alt text shouldn't describe what kind of clothes the person is wearing or what action the person is doing unless this is a fashion article. I've used to do that for former articles, but someone pointed my errors in this previous FLC (see comments under FrankBoy fifth bullet point).
 * The parameter is simply  - the added 1 made it not show up. I have fixed it now, but previously the text associated with the image showed as "File:Adam McKay (cropped).jpg"--AlexandraIDV 09:20, 21 December 2020 (UTC)


 * the 2007-08 financial crisis - write this out a 2007–2008 (note the en-dash, –). See MOS:DATERANGE.
 * Fixed: I used the article version of title complete with an en-dash using symbols template under special characters.


 * Would it be possible to make the date column a wider? On my monitor at least, almost every single entry has a linebreak because of this, nearly doubling the vertical length of the table. There is a lot of blank space in the recipients column, so shortening it for the sake of this shouldn't disturb the table much.
 * Fixed: Added style width to of 100px to Date of ceremony column. Now all dates should be one line only.


 * Looks good otherwise - please ping me when you have addressed the above and I will take another look.--AlexandraIDV 14:53, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
