message: Under the heading "Other Film and Television Work", 6th para:  The article says it needs a citation for "He was the second SNL cast member to be nominated for an Oscar, the first being Joan Cusack.[citation needed]"
The Oscars search page shows Joan Cusack was nominated twice: 1988 (61st Oscars) & again in 1997 (70th Oscars), both for "Best Actress in a Supporting Role":

Under the heading "Business ventures", the article says it needs a citation for "In 1992, Aykroyd and Hard Rock Cafe co-founder Isaac Tigrett founded the House of Blues, a chain of music venues, with the mission to promote African-American cultural contributions of blues music and folk art.[citation needed]"
At the website:  http://www.houseofblues.com/about, it says it was founded in "Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1992".  I looked at the MA business filings, http://corp.sec.state.ma.us/CorpWeb/CorpSearch/CorpSearchResults.aspx, which shows it was Registered in MA on 1-21-1993, but that it is listed in MA as a "foreign corporation" from DE.  That then led the search to the DE Secretary of State's business filings, https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/Ecorp/EntitySearch/NameSearch.aspx, and that shows a formation date of 12/4/1992.
I don't know that's it germane to this particular article on "Dan Aykroyd", the person, but for clarity purposes:
It may, or may not, be important to note that there were a few corporate entity structure changes along the way, which is not unusual. The entity name was "House of Blues, Inc." but is now "HOB Entertainment, Inc.".  A bit of further checking revealed they are using the name "House of Blues" as the prefix for the restaurants, in many different states, i.e.: "House of Blues ___, Inc." (with the individual location being filed in the blank), likely a driving force in changing the name of the corporate umbrella.  There are also several other, related entities, such as a foundation, etc.  Some legal filings also indicate that at one time there was a "House of Blues, LLC" which could be a related entity, it could be the original name/entity structure, or could have been changed from an "LLC" to an "Inc." for a variety of other reasons.  The DE Secretary of State's page states records are only available for the last 10 years, which will likely compound issues in corporate unraveling, should anyone chose to do so.
