The article says John Williams became the oldest ever nominee in any Oscar category, at age 90. But 90 was his age when the nominations were announced, and he turned 91 between then and the day of the ceremony. The sentence currently reads as follows:
At age 90, John Williams became the oldest competitive nominee in Oscar history, and with this being his 53rd nomination, he also broke his own record as the most Oscar-nominated living person, and the second-most nominated person (behind Walt Disney).
It also feels weird to me that it doesn't list how many noms Disney got (59), so I also want to add that. I also think it would make sense to split the sentence in twain, to avoid it becoming too long. Please change to something like this instead:
John Williams became the oldest competitive nominee in Oscar history, as he was 90 years old when nominees were announced (he turned 91 between then and the ceremony). With this being his 53rd nomination, he also broke his own record as the most Oscar-nominated living person, and the second-most nominated person ever (behind Walt Disney at 59 nominations).
Thank you in advance. - 87.58.119.203 (talk) 09:08, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just looked at the page now, and it looks so barren now like so much got cut.

I opened a random version (1163051916, from July 2), and it looked nice.
There were 16 first-time nominees across the four acting categories, including all five Best Actor nominees, the most in Oscar history. Michelle Yeoh was the first woman who identifies as Asian nominated for Best Actress. A record four Asian actors received acting nominations: Hong Chau, Stephanie Hsu, and winners Ke Huy Quan and Yeoh. With her Best Supporting Actress nomination for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Angela Bassett became the first person to receive an acting nomination for a role in a film based on Marvel Comics.
Judd Hirsch, nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in The Fabelmans, set a new record for longest gap between two acting nominations, following his nomination for Ordinary People (1980). John Williams became the oldest competitive nominee in Oscar history, as he was 90 years old when nominees were announced (he turned 91 between then and the ceremony). With this being his 53rd nomination, he also extended his own record as the most Oscar-nominated living person, and the second-most nominated person ever (behind Walt Disney at 59 nominations). For his nomination for Le pupille for Best Live Action Short Film, Alfonso Cuarón became the second person to be nominated in seven different categories, following Kenneth Branagh; the film also was Disney+'s first nomination for the award.
Everything Everywhere All at Once became the first film since 2013's Gravity to win seven Academy Awards, and the most awarded Best Picture winner since 2008's Slumdog Millionaire (which won eight Academy Awards). It is the third film in history to win in three acting categories, following A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) and Network (1976), and the first of these films to also win Best Picture. A24 won a total of nine awards, more than any other studio or distributor; with Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Whale (with six and one top awards, respectively), the studio was the first to win seven of the eight top awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and the four acting awards (missing only Best Adapted Screenplay, for which A24 did not have any eligible nominees)."

The current version looks so thin and gaunt.
"The winners were announced during the awards ceremony on March 12, 2023. Everything Everywhere All at Once became the first science-fiction film to win Best Picture, and it was the third film alongside 1951's A Streetcar Named Desire and 1976's Network to win three acting awards. Best Director winners Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert became the third pair of directors to win for the same film. For the first time since the 7th ceremony in 1935, all five Best Actor nominees were first time nominees. Michelle Yeoh was the first Asian winner for Best Actress and the second woman of color overall after Halle Berry who won for her performance in 2001's Monster's Ball. Furthermore, she was the first woman to identify as Asian to be nominated in that category. Ke Huy Quan became the first Vietnamese person to win an Oscar and the second Asian winner for Best Supporting Actor after Haing S. Ngor, who won for his role in 1984's The Killing Fields. The 42-year span between Judd Hirsch's first nomination for his supporting role in 1980's Ordinary People and his second for The Fabelmans set the record for the longest gap between Oscar nominations. At age 90, Best Original Score nominee John Williams became the oldest person nominated competitively in Oscars history. Best Costume Design winner Ruth E. Carter was the first Black woman to win two Oscars."

Done Liu1126 (talk) 18:27, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]Why is this article a list? The article includes as a main segment a list of Academy Awards nominees and winners. However, the article is about the whole ceremony, so this article covers an event and appears to be a normal event-article. It would be a list if it was for example List of 95th Academy Awards winners and nominees. 46.44.158.42 (talk) 11:49, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
