Add occupations

In addition to acting and singing, she is at the very least also a director and producer along with having written a book. 173.32.44.152 (talk) 02:16, 27 November 2024 (UTC) Reply

Those are not notable occupations - see MOS:ROLEBIO Geraldo Perez (talk) 02:22, 27 November 2024 (UTC) Reply
I support adding her occupation as director and producer to list of occupations, as "...is an American actress, director and producer", as is accustomed by similar topics of this same nature.
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Taylor_(American_filmmaker)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Kane_(actor)
And more. 2A0D:6FC0:74A:5900:2C51:C833:9D2B:78C0 (talk) 10:11, 26 April 2025 (UTC) Reply
Executive producer credit 6 times and 1 director credit, 68 acting credits. She is known as an actress. MOS:ROLEBIO says "The lead sentence should describe the person as they are commonly described by reliable sources." What other articles do is based on specific details about the person and set no precedent for other articles based on similarities. Also specific details about what she did as executive producer is needed to say if it was significant to the production or just a credit given to a major actress who was allowed some input to the production to get her join the cast.

Change "her accolades include nominations for an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award and a Tony Award" to "her accolades include nominations for an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, a Tony Award and a Grammy Award"

Anna Kendrick has also been nominated for a Grammy Award, shown in the referenced video, she is introduced at the 2019 Grammys as such. [1] 2A06:5906:3C11:9900:3599:825C:47E1:6BB5 (talk) 18:37, 18 July 2025 (UTC) Reply

X is not considered a reliable source. I am not seeing any other source that supports this, and this is the type of claim that would have lots of evidence if true. If she was nominated for a Grammy, we would need to list which year/which award she was nominated for. meamemg (talk) 19:09, 18 July 2025 (UTC) Reply
2016 Grammys - Best Soundtrack for Visual Media as the lead artist of the soundtrack.
I'm not seeing any evidence that she counts as a nominee, rather than the complication producer. But I've reopened the edit request tag in case someone else wants to come in and make the edit. meamemg (talk) 21:09, 18 July 2025 (UTC) Reply

@2A06:5906:3C11:9900:DAFB:4BA8:64CF:4B0C the only place she's listed there is for a win. so I think that's just noting her presence on the album, not that she's actually won a Grammy. meamemg (talk) 17:38, 19 July 2025 (UTC) Reply
Correct, the songwriters are the only ones that get the Grammy on that, which is why it is listed as it is. Chris1834 Talk 13:36, 21 July 2025 (UTC) Reply

also with no mention of the nomination or a profile on the official Grammy website I'm going to close this request as Not done: — 🪫Volatile 📲T | ⌨️C 17:51, 19 July 2025 (UTC) Reply
