Current project

Currently working on making categories for all Oscars given at the Academy Awards and applying them appropriately. This is a rather large undertaking that is involving the addition of categories to thousands of articles.

For people-centric awards (e.g., "Best Actor") I'm applying a category to the people and to the films they won (or were nominated) for. There already is a category Category:Academy Award winning actors but it combines "Best Actor" with "Best Actress" and I hope to fade it out with more specific categories. There are some categories already created, but not all of them as of yet.

On each article about a film, I'm also putting the actor/actress name in HTML comments. The hope is that when all the categorization is done then a table or something can be written for each movie listing the awards and who won or was nominated for it.

Need to add the respective "(film)" categories to most of these since the following are awarded to a person (or people) associated with a film:

And there are other Academy Awards that are not listed here (yet).
