Comments from Krimuk90
  • "..co-written by Josh Singer with McCarthy" ==> "written by McCarthy and Josh Singer.."
  • "The film's screenplay ... is based on the The Boston Globe's "Spotlight" team, which uncovers the sexual abuse scandal in Massachusetts" Awkward use of the present tense, and not entirely correct, grammatically speaking.
  • What is the Silver Mouse Award? How is it notable enough to be mentioned in the first paragraph?
  • " grossing a total box office" How does one gross a box office?
  • "..held the third place for the People's Choice Award" Awkward phrasing, again.
  • This is an awards list, so isn't it notable to note that Spotlight is the first Best Picture winner to win only one other Oscar since the 1940s?
  • "recognized with"?
  • "..the film's cast was awarded with Outstanding Performance". ==> "...cast received an Outstanding Performance award"
  • "It received the same award... " It's not the same award. It's an award in the same category at a different ceremony.
  • "Top Ten Films"; why the caps? Krimuk|90 (talk) 09:12, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
All taken care of, thank you. FrB.TG (talk) 14:44, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Pavanjandhyala
  • Was it released or premiered at the 72nd Venice International Film Festival?
  • "It received the award in the same category at the ..." -- received an award. It also avoids close and unnecessary repetition of "the".
  • "In addition, Spotlight was named Best Film by several critics associations, including ..." -- i think, rather saying "named Best Film", it is better to write that Spotlight was "named the best film of the year".
  • "The film was also included in American Film Institute's list of the top ten films of the year." -- I think you can end it as "... list of 2015's top ten films". It is also an attempt to avoid repetition of "of the". Pavanjandhyala (talk) 01:14, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have adapted all of your suggestions, thank you. FrB.TG (talk) 06:29, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - nice list. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 08:20, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I couldn't find any outstanding issues and there are no disambiguation or dead links, and the prose is very well-written. Good job! Erick (talk) 16:12, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support No remaining issues as far as I can spot. Nice job. Miyagawa (talk) 18:55, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Source review
  • Spot check of ten references showed the information being supported was all present; no copyvios found in those ten.
  • Formatting all good; all sources are reliable, as far as I am aware.
