List of accolades received by Moneyball (film) edit

Featured list candidates/List of accolades received by Moneyball (film)/archive1

Nominator(s): — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 16:02, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Moneyball is a 2011 sports drama film about the general manager of a baseball team trying to build it by using a statistical, sabermetric approach to selecting players and the results he gets through his methods. The film is notable for garnering its lead actor, Brad Pitt, several awards and nominations. It is my tenth attempt at an accolades FLC and my first attempt at a Hollywood film accolades list. Any constructive comments to improve this list are most welcome. — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 16:02, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Based on other film accolades featured lists I've looked at, such as 12 Years a Slave, Dallas Buyers Club, and The Artist, you got a pretty good list here that matches these other featured lists.
One problem I have is ref 5. It links to La La Land while "Archived" links to Moneyball. Why is this? I feel like La La Land should have nothing to do with this film as Moneyball is 5 years older than this film.
The 3rd lead paragraph needs refs for each award show.
Note c needs a ref.
Everything looks good with the table checks out based on the other accolade lists I've looked at.
There are currently 7 disambiguation links → Satellite Award for Best Actor (2 instances), Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actor (2 instances), Jason Reeves, and Japan Academy Prize (2 instances).

Hope these comments help you out. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 17:24, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments form Vedant

I think the "based on the aforementioned book" is really unnecessary. It's mostly redundant and read a a little awkward.
I am not sure if "theatrically released" should be "released theatrically". I've gone over both so many times that i can't seem to figure which is right. But, you should cross check.
"against its $50 million budget" - can be framed better?
"Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, surveyed 247 reviews and judged 94% to be positive" - That's a really unusual way of putting the RT rating. Doesn't mean that there is anything necessarily wrong with it, but it just seems a little odd.
"The film has been" - present perfect?
"Pitt and Hill have received" - again?
The last paragraph can be reworked a little. It's mostly one dimensional with a lot of similar sentences one after the other. There are also sentences like "It won all of its nominations at the New York Film Critics Circle", that read a little odd to me.

Thank you for asking me for help, it has been longgg. I am sure none of my concenrs and very serious, and can be addressed easily. Great work on the list as always. Good luck with you first Hollywood list Ssven2! NumerounovedantTalk 18:23, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are you using the Oxford comma for the lead. Here are instances were the Oxford comma is either not used (who also co-produced it, in the lead role with Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Chris Pratt) or used (Moneyball received six nominations including Best Picture, Best Actor for Pitt, Best Supporting Actor for Hill, and Best Adapted Screenplay). You will need to be consistent throughout the lead one way or the other.
For this part (won the Best Song for Kerris Dorsey's rendition of the song "The Show”), I would clarify that “The Show” was originally a Lenka song as the word “rendition” does not necessarily have to mean that Dorsey’s performance was a cover of an existing song. I would also include the year in which the original Lenka version of the song was released (i.e. 2008).
For this part (Bennett Miller, who directed the film,), remove the link to “Bennett Miller” as you already have him linked in the first sentence of the lead. Also remove “who directed the film” as you have already identified Miller as the director so there is no need to be repetitive.

Great work with the list. My review focuses entirely on the prose of the lead as I will be leaving any potential issues with the references to the user doing the source review. I will support this for promotion once my comments are addressed. Aoba47 (talk) 22:39, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Wehwalt edit

Hi Sven, good to see you back. Just a few comments, I can really only deal with the prose.

"The film features Brad Pitt, who also co-produced it, in the lead role with Jonah Hill" I would not separate "Brad Pitt" from" in the lead role".
"decide to build the team by opting for a sabermetric approach towards selecting players." I might change "towards" to "to"
" and won the Best Song for Kerris Dorsey's rendition of the song "The Show"." I would cut the first "the".--Wehwalt (talk) 17:06, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
