[edit] Quotes

I don't think there needs to be a "quotes" section. Any reason not to delete it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.41.137.144 (talk • contribs)

The section has been deleted, since the information has not been verified. Also, please sign your posts. Thanks. Real96 17:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Opening paragraph

Isn't it a bit misleading to say "Academy award nominated" when the nomination was only for makeup ? -- Beardo (talk) 02:01, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes it is, it should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.56.222.7 (talk) 06:00, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Technically, it's correct, but man, it sure does pain me to see that. "Academy award nominated" should only be on the Wikipedia page for "Norbit" if it's preceded by "did not deserve to be". 75.157.251.37 (talk) 05:23, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

It has been written that it was nominated for Make Up. If true, then I believe it did deserve to tbe nominated. But who goes to see a moviie because of the Make Up? 86.142.221.44 (talk) 06:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

It's not misleading at all when you read more of the sentence, "Norbit is an Academy Award nominated and Golden Raspberry Awards winning comedy film..." The irony of the fact that it was both an Oscar nominee and a Raspberry winner is part of what is notable about the film. It's also good writing in that it's an excellent teaser to the reader to read the rest of the article to find out about this odd juxtaposition of accolade and insult.

[edit] Soundtrack section

Why does it say at the bottom of the soundtrack section the following: "Bobby Doner-as restbutia boyfreind" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.54.209.66 (talk) 19:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

It was a bit of vandalism that was posted at 22:44 on 12 February 2008. It was erased by Cstaffa (talk · contribs) at 06:03 on 24 February 2008. Thanks Cstaffa! --Ashanda (talk) 15:30, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
