[edit] Kander after Ebb and nominations?
This article really needs to be updated in terms of Kander after Ebb. There's nothing here about Ebb's death, or of Kander's work since then, most noticeably Curtains.
Also, I'd like to see the last line of the article changed. It currently reads:
They also received numerous nominations, which include five more Tony Awards, two Acadamy Awards and four Golden Globe Awards
I just edited this for a typo, and then made it more grammatically correct, but it's still awkward phrasing, and a little confusing.
Previous to this sentence, there is a list of actual awards received, including three Tony Awards. Does this sentence at the end mean that they garnered five additional Tony nominations? Meaning that they were nominated eight times and won three? And that they were nominated for two Academy Awards and four Golden Globes?
If so, I'd really like to see this sentence completely restructured, because they received nominations, not awards. I'd do it myself, but I'd like confirmation that how I'm reading the sentence is how it was intended.
Also, is there any reason why a complete list of nominations, including what was nominated and the year isn't just included? It wouldn't take up that much space and I don't see any reason why they aren't includeded. TStein 05:32, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
