Editing Guidelines |
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films
- Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development.
To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met:
- Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.)
- Film infobox ({{infobox film}})
- Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.)
- Plot summary
- Include cast and crew information.
- At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.)
- Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))
Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF
Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Add Trivia (Academy Awards)
[edit] Trivia
The same year that Maria Full Of Grace was nominated for an Oscar, another non-english speaking movie was ousted from any of the top 5 awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay), by reasons of "foreign language": The Passion of The Christ (2004).
Maria full of Grace, nominated for a Best Actress award, is almost completely spoken in spanish, The Passion was spoken in Aramic, Latin and Hebrew.
[edit] Hispanic
"The main actress, Catalina Sandino Moreno who won "Best Actress" at the Berlin Film Festival, was nominated for "Best Actress" in the 77th Academy Awards. She is one of the four Hispanic actress to ever be nominated to an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, joining Brazilian actress Fernanda Montenegro, for Central Station (1998); Mexican actress Salma Hayek, for Frida (2002); and Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, for Volver (2006)."
I don't think you could call Fernanda Montenegro "Hispanic".
From hispanic:
"It now refers to the Spanish language, its speakers and its geographical distribution the same way Latin (Latino) refers to Romance languages in general. The corresponding term referring to Portuguese is Lusitanic."
To use "hispanic" I think is a very US-centric view of the world, where everyone who lives downside Rio Grande makes a homogenic group. Alinefr (talk) 20:41, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- Speaking of "Hispanic actresses" and then naming a Brazilian actress from a Brazilian movie is not just "US-centric" but simply plain wrong. --88.66.47.234 (talk) 15:37, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
