List of Carnivàle awards and nominations

previous FLC (15:45, 17 September 2008)

The first FLC was unsuccessful last month, criticism was already addressed during that time, and I am trying again. – sgeureka t•c 16:28, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:45, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Both fixed. castingsociety.com is under construction, so I expect they'll keep changing their website structure in the foreseeable future. – sgeureka t•c 15:23, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Created by Daniel Knauf, the show is set in the United States Dust Bowl during the Great Depression and traces the disparate storylines of a young carnival worker named Ben Hawkins (played by Nick Stahl) and a preacher in California named Brother Justin Crowe (Clancy Brown). The Dust Bowl was a period of time, not a place, if you want to say the place, then it should be the Great Plains. Better as ..set in the Great Plains of the United States during the Dust Bowl and Great Depression.
  • Carnivàle garnered numerous awards and nominations and was nominated for seven Emmy Awards in its inaugural season, winning five in creative arts categories. ---> Carnivàle garnered numerous awards and nominations, which included seven Emmy Awards in its inaugural season, winning five in the creative arts categories. (bolded changed content).
  • The second season received eight further Emmy nominations in 2005 without a win. - how about, The second season received eight further Emmy nominations in 2005, but did not win one.
  • Nominations for two Golden Reel Awards, four Satellite Awards and two Saturn Awards did not result in a win. - in the previous sentence it is stated that one of the actors won an award, so which is this, the actor or the series itself?
  • For the satellite awards under nominee, wouldn't the dash be better as having the name of the series, since that is what it was nominated for, right?
  • Satellite awards: Carnivàle was nominated in two categories in 2004 but failed to win in either. - comma after 2004.
  • Is there an image of the show on common or a logo for free use?SRX 20:32, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Everything addressed, or at least tried to do so. I rewrote the intro almost completely as I just couldn't make your suggestions work the way I wanted to (thanks for pointing out the Dust Bowl time-place issue, of which I was unaware). In the last FLC, someone objected to the title card image in the infobox although the FUR said that "Carnivàle's main title design won an Emmy", so I took it out. I may be able to get possibly-free images, but I'd have to read up on Canadian Panoramafreiheit rulings (if there any) and then ask many involved parties, which I consider a little out-of-proportion for the gain to pursue at the moment. – sgeureka t•c 11:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The infobox totals do not add up. For instance, Emmy awards shows 5 wins, and 10 nominations, yet it was actually nominated for 15 awards, and won 5 of those. I think it's a little misleading. Matthewedwards 19:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, I did this cause I was bored.
I simply counted the greens and the reds instead of adding the greens to the reds. But I see all other TV award wiki articles use your convention. Sorry for forgetting the VES Awards. – sgeureka t•c 18:32, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Costume Designers Guild Awards -- The category, according to the article, is "Excellence in Period or Fantasy Costume Design for Television Series"
  • Satellite Awards is "Best Television Drama Series", not "Best Series - Drama"; "Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television", not "Best Supporting Actress - Drama Series"
  • Check out all the other award categories for each Award ceremony to make sure WP calls them what they do.

I've copypasted the names now that the official sites give. In several cases, IMDb calls them differently, and wikipedia has a third name for them. E.g. per the official site, the name for the Costume Designers Guild Awards is "Excellence in Period / Fantasy Design for Televsio" [sic] and "Outstanding Period/Fantasy Television Series", per IMDb it's "Excellence in Costume Design for Television - Period/Fantasy" and "Outstanding Costume Design for Television Series - Period/Fantasy", and wikipedia combines them under Costume Designers Guild Award for Best Costume Design - Period or Fantasy TV Series. The article starter must have used the names from a fourth website. It looks a little inconstant now, and I was unsure what to do with the Golden Reel Award, the Artios Award and the Satellite Award naming (the Satellite Award website gives different names than what you said). – sgeureka t•c 18:32, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It looks inconsistent amongst the different award giving bodies, but at least it's correct now; however, the standard rule in the English language is to capitalize words that are the first or the last word in the title and those that are not coordinating conjunctions (for, and, or), prepositions (in), articles (an, a, the), or the word to when used to form an infinitive. Be careful with "Single-camera" and "Single-Camera", especially from the same people (as at the Emmys). Matthewedwards 07:23, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am unsure if your last comment was intended as an explanation or as a request to go over the titles again. Do I read this right that "for, and, or" etc. aren't capitalized? Is "Single-camera" or "Single-Camera" correct? – sgeureka t•c 18:03, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Re "for, and, or", etc, yes, they shouldn't be capitalised. As for "single-camera" vs "Single-Camera", I'm not sure, but I think they should all be the same. Matthewedwards 19:22, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think I have fixed this now. Thanks for the comments. – sgeureka t•c 19:34, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
