New tables
Should we add the tables of how many awards (Oscars, BAFTAs and Golden Globes) Nolan's films have won, as well as the Academy Award performances under his direction? I saw other directors have similar stuff, and I think his is long overdue. Runningman2027 (talk) 18:05, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- No. There's an entire seperate article on his awards. If it goes anywhere, that would be the spot, but I don't think it's necessary there, either. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 18:10, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- There is no need to flood this article with tables when simple prose suffices. Same as with there being no films table because a filmography article exists, the accolades article covers different tables, so one is not needed here. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 18:35, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- Should I add the tables on that page then? Runningman2027 (talk) 21:43, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- That article already has several tables for the different awards themselves, it does not need an overview table repeating the information. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 22:00, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- Then I would just add the table of the Academy Award performances under his direction. I hope that's okay. Runningman2027 (talk) 09:14, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- It's not repeated. One is about the awards received by NOLAN'S MOVIES, NOT NOLAN HIMSELF, while the other one is about the oscar-nominated roles after his direction. Runningman2027 (talk) 20:50, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

New table
Should we add the table of how many films Nolan has directed? I saw other directors had the table, and for me I think that we should add the table. ItalianCartoonGuy (talk) 13:09, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
- See above discussion. Barry Wom (talk) 13:14, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
- What discussion? ItalianCartoonGuy (talk) 13:15, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
- The preceding one. The penultimate one. The one that is above. That discussion. Barry Wom (talk) 13:21, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
- Ah, ok. That with the title "New tables"? or another? If is another, say the name of that discussion.ItalianCartoonGuy (talk) 14:51, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
- (sigh) Barry Wom (talk) 15:02, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
- What is the discussion? ItalianCartoonGuy (talk) 15:05, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
- Clearly this was already discussed in the "New tables" section immediately above this one. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 15:14, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

CBE or KBE
Since he was appointed knight commmander in 2024, shouldn't it say Sir Christopher Nolan, KBE (and not CBE), since the CBE is from his 2019 honor? ~2026-16416-44 (talk) 14:40, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
