[edit] inherent unfairness

Does anybody know if this statement from the "Acclaim" section has any truth to it? "Some critics, while priaisng Theron's performance, nevertheless noted the inherent unfairness of the Oscar process: when a beautiful person volunatrily becomes ugly for a role, she is given an oscar nod." If nobody can verify it, I will delete it in one week. --GHcool 18:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I found an article from Fox News that can be used as a source. [1] Itsmeiam 18:05, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

The article says nothing about the Oscar process being inherently unfair. I'm deleting the sentence. --GHcool 21:55, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Charlize Theron's Nationality

Is there some reason that Charlize Theron's South African heritage is significant to her performance, enough so that it has to mentioned in this article? We don't mention Christina Ricci being an American actress. Nolefan32 06:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

The fact that its in the article doesn't bother me, but it wouldn't bother me if it weren't in the article either. Feel free to take it out if you wish. --GHcool 02:53, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Monster movie.jpg

Image:Monster movie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
