  • Make the awards table sortable.
  • Also add "!scope=row" to the first column.
  • Then sort nominees in the table by their last names.
I removed the awards table altogether in favour of using prose. I feel a table is redundant and unnecessary, considering the film fact that most of the film's awards/nominations were for Pfeiffer – each of which are elaborated upon in the paragraph – and the fact that the film itself did not receive that many notable awards. Hope this will suffice. --Changedforbetter (talk) 16:53, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
