IMDb Redesigns Event Pages

IMDb Redesigns Event Pages

 

We are excited to announce the launch of IMDb’s redesigned Event pages on IMDb.com! Over the coming weeks, IMDb will roll out these updated pages. These updates bring a modern, clean, and intuitive presentation, designed to enhance your browsing experience and make discovering entertainment events easier and more enjoyable than ever.

Key enhancements include:

  • Improved Navigation: A new "Jump to" drop-down at the top of each event page for quick access to awards and categories, complemented by a handy "Back to top" button
  • Enhanced Discoverability: A new Popular Events sidebar to help you explore related events of interest
  • Interactive Features: Rate titles and add them to your Watchlist directly from event pages
  • Customizable Views: "Collapse all" and "Expand all" options for better content organization
  • Enriched Data: Event dates on select pages, "Also Known As" Event names for better recognition, and comprehensive company information on award nominations

To experience the enhanced features firsthand, we invite you to explore our updated pages for two of entertainment's most prestigious events: the Cannes Film Festival and the Primetime Emmy Awards. You can also find a comprehensive list of all our event coverage on the All Events page.

We hope you enjoy these latest improvements, and thank you for continuing to make IMDb the world’s most trusted source for movie, TV, and entertainment content. As always we welcome your feedback – please feel free to post your questions and comments to this thread.

As expected, the "+ Add to Watchlist" button makes pages load much slower, in the previous version it loaded instantly.

Without that button it would be fine.

Hi @plur62​ -

Thanks for your feedback.   I've forwarded your observations of the longer loading times to the appropriate team for visibility.

please add an option to use older layout versions, this new one hinders me completely.

The 2024 Cannes Film Festival page takes about 20 seconds to load all elements (on mobile). On the previous version, it opened in 2 seconds.

I think it's a general problem of IMDb with the "new" layout, everything is much slower now than 5 or more years ago, which is ironic because the internet is getting faster.

Great news, I like the redesign. I was waiting the displaying vote for the movie to appear. But why this display does not appears for some categories? Make it display in Best actor/actress/director too please.

And, some but the way, please add the displaying of vote for the movies at the search result page too.

Michelle: I was just testing a correction of a nomination, and found that when I selected "Correct/Delete", a page with the nominations for that award from every year came up.

Then I tried it for the Primetime Emmy Awards, an award which has been around for over 70 years and has numerous categories. Not only did the page with nominations to correct not load, I got an error message:

Error checking updates

We experienced an error while checking your updates, this may be due to the size of your submission or an issue with our systems.

Please retry in a few minutes or contact our Customer Services Team.

When a user tries to correct the nominations for an award, only the nominations for one particular year should be displayed, rather than trying to display the nominations for all years. Trying to display the nominations for all years slows down performance, or in the case of a long-time event, shuts it down entirely.

Hi @gromit82

Thank you for reporting this bug. The team is working to fix this issue affecting the contribution links at the bottom of the event page. In the meantime, for any award corrections or deletions please use the other "Edit" links found higher up on the event page next to the Award name.
