OK, this is a great article, can't find much to criticize. The main issue I found is the paragraph starting with "On 28 July 2000, during the 48th Annual Awards Ceremony..." which seems to veer off topic. Wouldn't it be enough to note that the agents received the award and the reason why? (especially considering it's cited to a primary source). buidhe 11:35, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• @Buidhe: Hello, thank you for the review! I've trimmed down the paragraph and kept some of the off-topic info as a footnote. Let me know if this is OK. Cheers, MX (✉ • ✎) 18:27, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
