Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 19:04, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

• Hi @Some Dude From North Carolina:, thanks for your review. I've addressed all these issues. Let me know what else, if anything, needs fixing. Thanks, LM150 16:03, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Infobox is in great shape!
• Add a comma after "American actor, director".
• Add a comma after "Golden Globe Award".
• Didn't Driving Miss Daisy earn him his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor? This can be fixed by changing "a second Academy Award nomination for Best Actor" to "his first Academy Award nomination for Best Actor" or "a second Academy Award nomination, this time for Best Actor".
• "the latter which" → "the latter of which"
• "along Clint Eastwood" → "along with Clint Eastwood" or "alongside Clint Eastwood"
• Was Unforgiven not his first film with Eastwood? If it was, change "a first" to "the first".
• "which Eastwood" → "with Eastwood"
• Remove "(2009)" since it's already mentioned at the start of the sentence.
• "comedy drama" → "comedy-drama"

Thank you for reviewing and spotting these errors. Y LM150 17:23, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Early life

• Add a comma after "June 1, 1937".
• The reference after "a teacher" says that his mother's name was Mamie Freeman.
• The first citation after "April 27, 1961" needs to be recited with proper parameters.
• Same issue with the reference right after "Greenwood, Mississippi".
• What makes the reference after "in 1961" reliable?
• A source is needed for the claim that "he has three older siblings".
• The reference after "Nashville, Tennessee" from HighBeam Research (used three times in the article) is dead, subscription-only, and the archive doesn't show the content.

Y Adjusted some of the references with 2 reliable book biographies. (Here are the links to the books from Archive.org if you need to see them: Biography &Biography 2) LM150 16:03, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
