I am nominating the 1981 Oscars for featured list because we believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I followed how the [[1st Academy Awards|1929]], [[51st Academy Awards|1979]], [[56th Academy Awards|1984]], [[58th Academy Awards|1986]], [[59th Academy Awards|1987]], [[60th Academy Awards|1988]], [[61st Academy Awards|1989]], [[62nd Academy Awards|1990]], [[63rd Academy Awards|1991]], [[64th Academy Awards|1992]], [[65th Academy Awards|1993]], [[66th Academy Awards|1994]], [[67th Academy Awards|1995]], [[68th Academy Awards|1996]], [[69th Academy Awards|1997]], [[70th Academy Awards|1998]], [[71st Academy Awards|1999]], [[72nd Academy Awards|2000]], [[73rd Academy Awards|2001]], [[74th Academy Awards|2002]], [[75th Academy Awards|2003]], [[76th Academy Awards|2004]], [[77th Academy Awards|2005]], [[78th Academy Awards|2006]], [[79th Academy Awards|2007]], [[80th Academy Awards|2008]], [[81st Academy Awards|2009]], [[82nd Academy Awards|2010]], [[83rd Academy Awards|2011]], [[84th Academy Awards|2012]], [[85th Academy Awards|2013]], [[86th Academy Awards|2014]], [[87th Academy Awards|2015]], [[88th Academy Awards|2016]], [[89th Academy Awards|2017]], [[90th Academy Awards|2018]], [[91st Academy Awards|2019]], [[92nd Academy Awards|2020]], and [[93rd Academy Awards|2021]] ceremonies were written.

====Dank====
*Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly [[WP:AGF|AGF]] on sourcing. 
*Just the first table is missing a table caption. In the "Performers" table,  "People Alone" is sorting before Orchestral.
*The 2nd, 6th and 7th images in the multiple image template are missing alt text.
*Checking the [[WP:FL?|FLC criteria]]: 
*1. I've done a little copyediting; feel free to revert or discuss. I checked sorting on all sortable columns and sampled the links in the tables.
*2. The lead meets [[WP:LEAD]] and defines the inclusion criteria. 
*3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations. 
*3b. The article is well-sourced to reliable sources, and the [[WP:UPSD|UPSD]] tool isn't indicating any actual problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates are present. 
*3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article. 
*4. It is navigable. 
*5. It meets style requirements. At a glance, the images seem fine.
*6. It is stable.
*Close enough for a '''support'''. Well done. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 03:02, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
:*{{ping|Dank}} I've '''fixed''' the remaining issues from your comments up above.

====Comments====
*"The ceremony was originally scheduled the day before" => "The ceremony was originally scheduled for the day before"?  Current wording could be interpreted as the Academy only scheduling it (confirming when it would take place) the day before
*"The nominees for the 53rd Academy Awards were announced on February 17, 1981, by" - can't see any reason for a comma after the date
**Chris, see [[MOS:DATE]], at "September 2, 2001". - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 17:22, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
***{{ping|Dank}} ah, it's specific to the US date format.  Fair enough -- [[User:ChrisTheDude|ChrisTheDude]] ([[User talk:ChrisTheDude|talk]]) 07:31, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
*"the festivities would be posted to the following day" - unless this is an unusual US English usage of which I am unaware, surely that should say "postponed".....?
*"whether or not to televise pre-recorded remarks from Reagan [...] giving remarks" - any way to re-word to avoid this repetition?
*"an unnamed man later identified as Hungarofilm general manager Istvan Dosai came upstage" - I would imagine that should say "on stage" rather than "upstage", unless he was already standing on the stage, which from the context seems unlikely
*That's what I got! -- [[User:ChrisTheDude|ChrisTheDude]] ([[User talk:ChrisTheDude|talk]]) 16:03, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
:*{{ping|ChrisTheDude}} '''Done''' - I've addressed your comments by making adjustments based off of them.

====Comments by RunningTiger123====
* [[Norman Jewison]] should be linked in lead
* Missing dash for ''Confidence'' nomination
* Is Unsworth's posthumous nom supported by a source?
* Capitalizing "Visual Effects" feels odd
* Ref. 29 (McCabe) seems to have the wrong date
* Ref. 32 (Boyer) appears to misspell "Lowest"
* [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] should not be linked again in Ratings section
* "with 31% of households watching with a 58% share" – two uses of "with" in the same sentence is awkward

*'''Source review''' – All of the references are high-quality reliable sources and well-formatted, and the link-checker tool shows no issues. Everything checks out okay in this area.
