Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 01:51, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating the 1989 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I read the requirements and criteria. I also followed how the 1929, 1990, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2009, 2010, and 2012 Oscars were written.

• Heyman and Moonjean in the best Picture box can be linked.
• I know you try to put related awards in adjacent boxes; should sound editing and mixing go next to each other?
• -> 1950s movie musicals
• In presenters list, I'm not sure why 'Set Direction' is included for Defoe and Hackman for the Art Direction award.
• Why wasn't there a host?

Good work again, Reywas92^Talk 08:23, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

• Fixed: I fixed everything mentioned above. As for the "no host" thing, in one of the references its says...

"Carr said there will be no principal host on the show. ``No comedians, no Chevy Chase, no emcee. It`s going to be like a relay race from star to star to star-a true cavalcade of stars. We`re calling them star participants. Jane Fonda, for example, is going to introduce one of the five `best film` clips and then she`ll introduce her godfather, Jimmy Stewart, who will appear with Kim Novak after we show a clip of them together in Vertigo.

• So I stated in the ceremony info that, "Instead of hiring a host for the proceedings, he heavily relied on presenters often grouped in pairs as either couples, compadres, co-stars, or companions."

• Drive-by comment: Didn't Who Framed Roger Rabbit win three awards? The article says four. If it won a special achievement award, it has not been mentioned.--krimuk ⁹⁰ 07:09, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

• Fixed: I added the reason for Richard Williams Special Achievement Oscar. The link provided indicates the award was given to honor Who Framed Roger Rabbit. AMPAS officially gives Roger Rabbit's awards tally at four.

Comments – "and" is needed before You Don't Have to Die in the lead. Presenters (in order of appearance), Charlie O'Donnell: Not sure if "Annual should be capitalized in the role note. Ceremony information "the" is needed between "being" and "final". Ratings and aftermath: Another "the" would help before "American telecast on ABC". Giants2008 (Talk) 22:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC) Fixed: I fixed everything you have suggested. --Birdienest81 (talk) 01:23, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

• Support: Terrific job on prose, references, and organization.--Jagarin 17:09, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

• Support, i only found minor problems (listed below) that are not a reason to oppose. Spotcheck not done.
  • "took place March 29, 1989" -> for consistency with all the other AA events "took place on March 29, 1989"
  • "Salaam Bombay! (India) Hindi – Mira Nair" -> should be "in Hindi", per consistency
  • "turned out to be a TV nyet" -> nyet © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 01:44, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

• Fixed: I fixed everything mentioned above. I'm very grateful for your help!

Comments from Crisco 1492: Images are fine (no action required) The 61st Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), - ceremonies aren't presented (again) Oscarcast? couples, compadres, co-stars, or companions - do we really need the alliteration? Snow White - the Disney princess or the character from folklore? "Carr would be alive today" - Paraphrase this, as Carr was still alive in 1996 (at the time the source was written) and thus this is open to serious misinterpretation. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:55, 8 November 2013 (UTC) Fixed: I fixed everything mentioned above with some notes: "couples, compadres, co-stars, or companions" changed to "pairs that had some connection either through family or the film industry." Snow White is the Disney one. Clicking on it links to the Disney character. I also mentioned the film she's from When Cates said "Carr would be alive today" I know he meant that Carr would had not received those terrible review of the show had the opening number dragged on. I paraphrased it as Carr would have not received such harsh criticism "if the number had been only 3 minutes.” --Birdienest81 (talk) 01:44, 9 November 2013 (UTC) Re: Carr: I know that's what he meant, but it's not immediately apparent from the text as it was written.  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:52, 9 November 2013 (UTC) Is there anything else I still need to revise? Apparently, you fixed the Carr sentence yourself. --Birdienest81 (talk) 05:10, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
