Losing Chase
[edit]- ... that Kevin Bacon made his debut as a director in 1996 with the Golden Globe Award winning television film Losing Chase?
Created/expanded by Freikorp (talk). Self nominated at 00:28, 18 April 2013 (UTC).
- The hook passes
- 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.
- The article was expanded On April 17 on a fivefold and nominated the next day.
- The on-line sources check.
- The prose is long enough.
- No issues on neutrality.
- The hook passes
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)
