Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 22:05, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating the 1987 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I also followed how the 1929, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Oscars were written.

~~Winners and nominees: Paul Newman's character was Fast Eddie Felson, not Nelson.~~

Done: I fixed both errors mentioned above.

Comments

Combine the Marlee Matlin sentences together. e.g. "...was the first deaf performer to win an Oscar as well as the youngest winner in ..."
Also the attached Chicago tribune source doesn't support this, from what I read all it says is that she is deaf and was nominated. Nothing about winning or being the first or the youngest.
Paul Newman needs a link at the first mention. Link his sentences together. "same character in two different films, having previously earned a nomination..."
Ratings don't match the source. 37.19 million is what I see in the source. Replace this in the infobox and the article text.
"The following individuals presented awards for performed musical numbers" I think you mean or.
Presenters of the award for Best Animated Short Film
Is Sing Me the Song not from a film? or was it just the introductory thing talked about in the article?
Despite the Chase --> Despite Chase
In the review section I would avoid terms like complained, lamented and bemoaned. Try to be as passive as possible irrespective of the negative or positive content.

@Cowlibob:*Done:I fixed everything you mentioned above. The Bernadette Peters intro song is mentioned in the article so I changed it to "Sang introdcutions..." as generic role. Changed Matlin references to books (an I'm sure the Illinois book is credible).

Support With all that taken care of, great list. If you want non-book sources for the Marlee Matlin facts: you could use these: youngest [[2]], first deaf [[3]]. Another minor thing, the article is tagged as having a citation with an accessdate but no url, look through your references to find the culprit.

Support: Nicely done, once again.--Jagarin 18:32, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
