  • The hook passesexclamation mark 
An alternate should be proposed. The directorial debut of Kevin Bacon passes, but I'm not convinced by the Golden Globe. The hook states that the film won an award. According to the article, Helen Mirren won the award for Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television. The reader could misinterpret the hook, confusing it with the award for the best film.

We're half way there, just a slight correction is needed.

It wouldn't bother me at all if the Golden Globe mention is simply removed entirely, though that does make the hook somewhat less interesting. How about "... that Kevin Bacon made his directorial debut with the award winning television film Losing Chase?" or "... with the television film Losing Chase, which was nominated for three Golden Globe Awards?" ?

The second hook sounds better (ALT: ... that Kevin Bacon made his directorial debut with the television film Losing Chase, which was nominated for three Golden Globe Awards? ). I would only request you to add under the section "Reception" a line that details the nominations, or that states at least that it was nominated to three Golden Globes. (of course, including a citation).--GDuwenTell me! 18:16, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
