List of accolades received by The Hours

 * Nominator(s): JuneGloom07 Talk  03:35, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

It's been eight years since User:Courcelles and myself brought The Hours to FLC, and it's been largely untouched since that failed nomination. But, with the help of Newspapers.com, I was able to replace that pesky questionable source. I've also improved the article to match recent film award FLs, and I'm willing to carry out any further work suggested. I would love for this one to pass the second time around! - JuneGloom07 Talk  03:35, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * "The screenplay is based on the eponymous novel" - I don't think eponymous is the right word here. An eponymous novel by Michael Cunningham would be called "Michael Cunningham".  Better to say "the novel of the same title".
 * "the ceremony saw" - a ceremony cannot see anything, it doesn't have eyes. Find a way to re-word.
 * "a LGBT-oriented" - "an LGBT-oriented", surely
 * Refs should be centred
 * Recipients column sorts on forenames, it should sort on surnames
 * Also I think the title of the film should sort under H
 * Neither notes is a complete sentence, so neither needs a full stop.
 * Think that's it from me..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:37, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you User:ChrisTheDude for your comments. I've made all the fixes, although I believe the list already sorts under H, unless I'm missing something? It is listed under H in the Lists of accolades by film category. - JuneGloom07 Talk  04:07, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The film title definitely sorts under T in the table. You need to use a sort template to make it sort under H i.e. The Hours -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:35, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, in the table! Sorry, I totally misunderstood that. Fixed! - JuneGloom07 Talk  23:11, 18 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:42, 19 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Support Thanks for making the amendments. Cowlibob (talk) 13:13, 8 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Support Comments from Aoba47


 * I am uncertain about the link in the part "The film received nine Academy Award nominations" since it borders a little too closely on WP:EASTEREGG for my taste as I thought the link would be for the general Academy Awards article itself rather than a specific ceremony. As with the sentences on the 56th British Academy Film Awards and the 60th Golden Globe Awards, I would make the link clearer in the prose to avoid any confusion.
 * This is more of a clarification question than a recommendation. For this sentence "The Hours grossed a worldwide box office total of over $108 million", would it also be helpful to include the film's budget as a point of comparison?
 * For this sentence "The film was nominated for a total of eight awards from the Satellite and 9th Screen Actors Guild Award ceremonies, but failed to win any.", I do not believe "but failed to win any" is entirely necessary as I think that should already be clear by saying the film was nominated for this awards.

Otherwise, wonderful work with the list. Once my three relatively minor comments are addressed, I will be more than happy to support this for a promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 01:02, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Almost missed this, sorry! I've made the fixes, thank you User:Aoba47. - JuneGloom07 Talk  20:48, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for addressing these points, and apologies for putting up a review so late in this FLC process. I support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 21:07, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * It was my fault, I wasn't watching this page. Thank you for the support! - JuneGloom07 Talk  21:25, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * No worries. Since this has a few support comments already, I would recommend requesting a source review in the table on the top of the main FLC page. Aoba47 (talk) 23:17, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Source review passed; promoting. -- Pres N  22:09, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
