replies: text: I'm not finding it. Maybe I'll have to watch the show again and fill in that info. Provided some wiki-pedant doesn't decide that that constitutes "original research". Wahkeenah 13:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Please look at the template above on the page.  Thanks. Real96 12:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

text: *I have done numerous searches on Google and looked at various pages covering the event. None of them were any help, so I came here. I'm sure they will be easier to find in the coming days, but I was hoping to have the info a few hours ago when I posted a report on the event. Oh, well. If anyone can still help with this, I can still edit/update the report (better late than never), so any help would be be greatly appreciated. Thanks again. --172.161.117.21 16:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

text: *Oooh, I see the presenters section has been updated. I shall have a look and add those categories that are missing. --172.161.117.21 16:08, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

text: *Wow... the presenters section is coming along great. One thing though (well, actually three): Did nobody co-present Best Editing with Kate Winslet? Also, I read on various sites that Meryl Streep presented something – did she or didn't she? Also, did [[Gwyneth Paltrow really present the award for cinematography? And who presented with her? --From Andoria with Love 16:59, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Presenters questions 

message: The last Mistake listed is "Jack Black referred to Peter O'Toole as 'English'."  That may not have been a mistake since Peter O'Toole famously played the character of Lawrence of Arabia, who was nicknamed "English" by several characters in that movie.  Can anyone confirm what was actually said by Jack Black and how he said it?  Sgettle (talk) 21:34, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Al Gore 

message: In the article it says that Kirsten Dunst and Toby Macguire presented the best adapted screenplay, but it was they in fact who presented best *original* Screenplay. All that needs to be done is switch the presentations beside Tom Hanks and the actress with whom he presented best adapted screenplay with those of Kirsten and Toby. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.101.96.39 (talk) 17:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, sorry about that. I thought for sure it was the other way around but maybe that's because I thought the two stars of a series of films adapted from a comic book (namely, Spider-Man) would present the adapted screenplay award. I'll switch 'em; thanks for correcting me. :) --From Andoria with Love 16:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong presenters listed 

message: I can't beleive this article lists in GREAT detail all the presenters of the awards, but doesn't even bother to list all the awards and their nominees.  What a slanted, non-encyclopaedic article with a bizarre set of priorities. 81.157.197.171 18:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We already have an article with all that information in place, linked directly from the top of this article.  --Ngamer 04:53, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Listing of all categories and winners

message: If this article is going to be a FA/GA anytime soon, there should not be a trivia section. Secondly, the tables shouldn't be changed to a wikitable, because they are based upon last year's format. For this, I have replaced the wikitable with the correct table.  Thanks! Real96 19:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I took the assumption that the events mentioned should be included into the article (barely notable in my opinion, feel free to comment) and incorporated them into a new section per WP:Trivia. Quadzilla99 20:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Being based on last years page is not a reason to use loads of inlined style instead of the default wikitable: two wrongs don't make a right. I have changed all the awards pages to wikitables now anyway. ed g2s • talk 20:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I spun through my tape of the Oscars and made a few corrections, then decided to put them in order of appearance, also "left-to-right" on the stage. If anyone has a problem with this approach, speak up. :) Wahkeenah 05:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seeing that you have the recording of the show, would you be able to find out who the presenter was introducing the best adapted screenplay norminees when he/she referred to the "Japanese" film Infernal Affairs that inspired The Departed, when in fact it's an HK film. It's either Helen Mirren or Tom Hanks, i think. See Mistake section 1 . Thanks --Kvasir 19:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll see what I can do. Wahkeenah 00:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

text: OK, the comment was definitely "based on the Japanese film, Infernal Affairs." However, although the presenters were Mirren and Hanks, that mistake was actually spoken (or presumably read) by the female voice-over announcer, listed in the article as Gina Tuttle (also mentioned that way in various items searchable by Google, and that she is known for doing voice-over work). Wahkeenah 01:37, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

text: OK again, one more look at the tape. I knew they had shown the voice-over actors early on, and they did: definitely Don LaFontaine and Gina Tuttle. He, of course, is the "Voice of God" for film trailers, or maybe I should say the voice of "In a world..." I wouldn't blame her for the error, though, I would blame whoever wrote the copy she was reading. Wahkeenah 02:06, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Academy Awards articles 

message: I notice Wikipedia has a locked article and no way to update the external links.  This is grossly unfair because one site, The Envelope, is able to be linked as an external source while another, oscarwatch.com, is not.  This is wrong on so many levels but especially because it does what wikipedia should never do: play favorites.  Please unlock the article so that other more well established, independent sites can also add information.
Thank you.
