Comment: imdb is not a reliable source, and the only other source is the website of the subject. Need at least a couple of independent sources (news articles about the ceremonies, for example, would suffice). Definitely notable. Also, in the article, this has to stand alone, apart from the parent article, so when you state "the academy", make sure you let the reader know what academy. Feel free to ping me after you make the corrections, and I'll take another look. Onel5969 TT me 13:36, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
