Hard Candy (film)
- ... that the 2005 film Hard Candy was said to feature Ellen Page's artistic breakthrough performance that "almost no one noticed"?
- Reviewed: Bob Fitch
Improved to Good Article status by Uziel302 (talk). Nominated by Freikorp (talk) at 06:08, 9 December 2014 (UTC).
Article is a recently-approved GA, and is in compliance with DYK guidelines. QPQ is good. Hook is good; my only suggestion would be to include the source that actually said that quote about Page's performance (a similar approach was taken with the DYK for Fez). I suggest:
- ALT1: ... that The New York Times Magazine described Ellen Page's performance in the 2005 film Hard Candy as her artistic breakthrough performance that "almost no one noticed"?
- If you have any concerns about this, please let me know. -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 08:14, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
- ALT1 is fine with me if that's what you want Rhain1999, though for better wording maybe don't use the word 'performance' twice; I think it would be better if you substituted the first instance for a synonym, maybe 'role'. Though as per the talk page the GA nominator has suggested mentioning the film Juno instead of "almost no one noticed", hence i'll give you a new ALT to choose from:
- ALT2:
... that according to The New York Times Magazine, the 2005 film Hard Candy featured Ellen Page's artistic breakthrough performance, preceding her Academy Award winning role in Juno?Freikorp (talk) 11:27, 9 December 2014 (UTC)- I didn't notice my use of the word "performance" twice; good work on picking that up. ALT2 is good, and I can understand the change of focus from the quote. My only suggestion to ALT2 would be to wiki-link "Academy Award", and hyphenate "Award-winning", resulting in:
- ALT3: ... that according to The New York Times Magazine, the 2005 film Hard Candy featured Ellen Page's artistic breakthrough performance, preceding her Academy Award-nominated role in Juno?
- If there is no dispute over this:

Can I ask why ALT2 and ALT3 both suggest that Page won an Oscar for Juno? Last time I checked only the screenplay did. Fuebaey (talk) 18:28, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
- Changed to nominated. Those ALTs were suggested by the GA nominator on the talk page and I didn't check to see whether the award was actually won or not. Freikorp (talk) 21:58, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, I should have picked up on this. Now that it's fixed:
