List of accolades received by Whiplash (2014 film)

 * Nominator(s): Cowlibob (talk) 19:41, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Whiplash is a 2014 drama directed by Damien Chazelle about a jazz drummer fighting to survive in a studio band led by a tyrannical conductor. The film received many accolades especially for the performance of J. K. Simmons in the latter role. As usual look forward to all the helpful comments on how to improve it.

 * Comments from GagaNutella
 * Infobox: Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
 * Infobox: delete that source, already supported in the body.
 * (same case above) In the third paragraph, delete all sources.
 * Ditto: ref 15 and 16.
 * OVERLINK: refs 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 23, 25, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 52, 55, 56, 57, 59, 64. Gaga Nutella talk 15:08, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Removed extra refs in lead. Sorted overlink. For the first point, not sure the link needs to split, I think the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor article is a sufficient link as it's first line explains what it is and who awards it. Cowlibob (talk) 12:12, 16 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Support about the Academy Award, I didn't see that article is FL, so it's fine to me! By the way, I have a FLC, and I would love to read your comments. It would be great if you'd review Gaga's awards list! Gaga Nutella talk 13:44, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Comment - I don't think one is allowed to have more than two open nominations. As this is your third, the other two being this and this one, I think one of these should be taken care of. --  Frankie talk 17:06, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is a rule preventing more than two if so could you point me towards it? All the FLC says is you shouldn't open a second one until the previous one has gained substantial support and concerns are resolved so it follows that you could open a third one if the second has gained enough support. Cowlibob (talk) 12:21, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The whole point of the rule is that there shouldn't be any more than two, to improve the odds that all FLC contributors will have the opportunity to have their articles reviewed with our limited resources. Having three FLCs open at once is pushing things a bit, and is the sort of thing the 2 FLC rule was designed to prevent. If you want, you could address the remaining comment at the Blue is the Warmest Colour FLC, which is close to a promotion that would leave 2 of your noms open; otherwise, I suggest taking this off FLC until one of the other lists is promoted.

 * Thanks for the clarification. Blue is the Warmest Colour accolades list now has 4 supports with everything resolved. Cowlibob (talk) 22:49, 16 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Comments from Johanna
 * "was partly based on his experiences in the Princeton High School Studio Band" This sort of info is not really standard fare for an accolades list--why did you decide to include it.
 * Short list of supporting actors (Paul Reiser, Melissa Benoist, and Austin Stowell)? Unless you think those parts aren't really big enough to deserve a mention, which I would understand (I've seen the movie).
 * It got a lot of awards and noms for its screenplay, too--I would mention that at the start of that paragraph.

The table and nitpick-y stuff like reference italics were all fine. Clear this up and I'll be happy to support. :) Johanna  (formerly BenLinus1214)talk to me!see my work 04:26, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. Have add the supporting roles and screenplay mention. I added that bit about it being based on the director's own experiences to give some context to the next sentence about the plot of the film. Cowlibob (talk) 16:57, 28 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Support excellent work on an excellent film. All my comments have been resolved. If you could review my Lost in Translation accolades list, that would be great. Johannatalk to me!see my work 23:10, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Comments –
 * Commas are needed before and after "also written by Chazelle".
 * The box office gross amounts, as dollar amounts, should have non-breaking spaces per the Manual of Style.
 * Ref 63 (Village Voice Film Poll) needs an access date. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 01:12, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. Have resolved the above comments I think. Cowlibob (talk) 18:36, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Support – The list looks good to go now. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 02:03, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Okay, skimmed through the list and didn't see anything I had a problem with, so closing this nom as passed. -- Pres N  17:29, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
