Reason for not attending Oscars

FYI, Pacino denied that he avoided the Oscars because of the category in which he was nominated, in a podcast interview published today. WTF Ep 1583, around 1 hour and 13 minutes into the episode. Apparently he was just shy and not industry savvy. sifr4 (talk) 15:25, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not noteworthy enough for inclusion in the main article. No bearing on any part of his career. GimmeChoco44 (talk) 20:44, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Irishman - Oscar Nomination

Please consider modifying the 2020 section where the film The Irishman is referenced for an Oscar Nomination. It currently reads:

...he received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor nomination. Consider revising to:

... he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

or he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

The sentence structure seems awkward and misleading as it states he received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor with nomination as an after thought (and not highlighted). Brooklyn624 (talk) 15:30, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Brooklyn624

Done. The sentence in general was a run-on as is, w/ that semicolon, so I'm glad you called my attention to it. Needed to be broken off into its own. I rephrased it as "…he received a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the 92nd Academy Awards—his ninth to date." Highlights the award, calls attention to the ceremony for the film's overall achievement, and addresses his current record. --Cinemaniac86^Talk_Stalk 16:34, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nice... well done! Brooklyn624 (talk) 20:16, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
