Correcting years.

This template has the years wrong for the first six years of the ceremony. I'll correct them. Manning (talk) 04:10, 1 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Remove the "slapping incident". It's not relevant to this navbox. There's no point having a group header for just one incident. There have been small and big incidents at many Academy Awards ceremonies. 213.134.176.42 (talk) 14:36, 22 April 2022 (UTC) 213.134.176.42 (talk) 14:36, 22 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

 Done but keep in mind Wikipedia works by consensus, if people revert the edit, discuss it first and establish consensus before changing it. Thanks for your contribution! ★Ama TALK CONTRIBS 01:36, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

I am requesting the "Will Smith–Chris Rock slapping incident" to be removed from this template. It is not relevant to the general overview of the Academy Awards as a whole. The incident should be linked to from the respective ceremony's article only, not in the header of the Academy Awards template. There have been incidents at many Oscars ceremonies. This one isn't special. 213.134.170.218 (talk) 09:41, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Done. --Mvqr (talk) 12:52, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Should this still be in the template? The idea seems to have been completely abandoned by the Academy. I believe only existing or once-existing awards should feature in it. But even if we're to keep the Proposed Awards section, shouldn't we substitute this for the upcoming Casting Direction Award, which seems to be a sure thing at this point?

Well? No one interested in this? JimboB (talk) 23:41, 27 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
I would prefer to keep the link, so long as the article (Academy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film) exists. If you were to propose merging the article into another, I would be open to that idea, but I doubt there would be any appetite to delete it outright.  HTGS (talk) 02:18, 30 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
Personally, I see no point for the article to even exist, since the idea has been dropped. It could become a short section on the main Academy Awards article, under Categories, maybe. JimboB (talk) 00:48, 31 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
Well, as I say, you’re welcome to start that discussion, though that should be done over at that article’s talk page. I’m fairly indifferent myself, so long as some coverage is preserved somewhere.  HTGS (talk) 05:59, 31 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
