List of actors nominated for Academy Awards for foreign language performances
Bringing another Academy Awards list to FLC.  sephiroth bcr ( converse ) 08:17, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment bah, tried hard but it may be possible that list nomination is pretty good (in my opinion). The Rambling Man (talk) 16:33, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Great job!--Crzycheetah 19:12, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Comment - For an actor or actress to be eligible for any of the Academy Awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, or Best Supporting Actress for a foreign language performance in a film produced outside the United States, the film must have been commercially released in Los Angeles County. Actors or actresses that have foreign language performances in films released in the United States are not subject to this requirement. - this doesn't appear to make sense.

 * A foreign language performance is not speaking English in whatever role. The film itself can be produced inside the United States or outside of it. This simply notes for films produced outside the United States, they need a release in LA County for the actors or actresses to be considered eligible for any Academy Award.  sephiroth bcr ( converse ) 03:51, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem is that it seems to read as: "foreign language performances in films produced outside the US must be released in LA. Films released in the US are not subject to this requirement." I'd advise changing "in films released in the United States" to "films produced in". Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 05:42, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed.  sephiroth bcr ( converse ) 05:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * And while I haven't seen those particular films, I'm fairly certain that Liv Ullman speaks Swedish and Marion Cotillard speaks French. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 14:45, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed as well.  sephiroth bcr ( converse ) 09:06, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: Any chance of having a lighter yellow for "Won Academy Award" cells? It seems strange to have such a vivid yellow in opposition to the light color of the "Nominee" cells. — Erik  (talk • contrib) - 14:50, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I would suggest the same yellow used in the template could be used for consistency. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:58, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be superb, actually. Looks like it warrants replacing #FFD800 with #FAEB86.  Any takers? — Erik  (talk • contrib) - 14:59, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Added.  sephiroth bcr ( converse ) 09:06, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Support Thanks for taking into account all of my remarks! BomBom (talk) 18:22, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Looks pretty good, I have one quibble though and that's that Sophia Loren's screenshot is from Five miles to Midnight, not Two Women or Marriage Italian-Style. It's a little misleading. Is there an image from either of those two movies or one that is clearly not a screenshot so there is no possible confusion? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 15:32, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Both movies would be copyrighted, and thus the images would be fair use. I can stick the infobox picture for Robert De Niro (although he looks way different in The Godfather Part II) if you want.  sephiroth bcr ( converse ) 20:46, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it's no big deal. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 00:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Support since BomBom's comments have been seen to. Good lead, good layout&mdash;good list. Cliff smith  talk 00:19, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Support this excellent list per addressing my comment and others' comments. — Erik (talk • contrib) - 00:29, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
