IMDb Web Name and Title Subpages Redesign

IMDb Web Name and Title Subpages Redesign

​​​​​​​​​​​​​We are excited to announce IMDb’s redesign of Name and Title subpages! In the coming days, IMDb will incrementally roll out its 9 redesigned subpages. We redesigned 8 Name subpages, which include a name’s subpage for bio, news, awards, and more. You will also notice a redesigned title awards subpage. The refreshed pages are meant to make your IMDb experience easier and more enjoyable by providing improved access to celebrity, movie, and TV content on any device and when on the go. The redesign follows ongoing site improvements and reflects changes suggested by IMDb customers, as well as our own in-depth research designed to enhance entertainment content, discovery, and navigation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​In the coming months, we will continue to update IMDb pages throughout the site. We hope you enjoy these latest and upcoming improvements, and thank you for continuing to make IMDb the world’s most trusted source for movie, TV, and entertainment content.​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@ACT_1​ I don't think they activate it on "name pages", rather they are opening it to "users" slowly. So if the feature was activated for you, you would see the "all" name pages with new design, not some of them.

To reinforce what mbmb said, IMDb has demonstrated in the past that software roll-outs are done not page-by-page, but by regions or other sub-groups of users. Evidence: they have sometimes turned OFF a new release until they correct something, and people reporting things about new format pages while others still see the old format.

Why does the biography page looks so different?  It sure isn't as useful/helpful as before!

I noticed that the IMDB once again updated their webpage.  However, it used to show under "Relatives" what they were, ie:  Siblings, grandchildren, cousins, etc.  Now they no longer show that.

For example:  Actress Drew Barrymore has multiple relatives in her bio at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000106/bio who have their own webpages on the IMDB, but they no longer say what relation they are to her.

Is this something that will be fixed or is this permanent?

Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled The family relations in biographies isn't showing what the relatives are unless they are the parents or children.

@justin_6415368​ Thanks for highlighting this.  It is a bug and will be reported to the appropriate team.  In the meantime, the information is still available on the main name page.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your feedback. This issue has been fixed and the relative notes should be available on the bio page now. Please let us know if you are still experiencing any issues.

@jakub_7542677​ - thank you for reaching out about the redesigned awards page. The new page preserves priority display of prestigious awards and, as part of the redesign, subsequently orders awards based on most recent nomination or win year. This is based on customer research and suggestions - but I have shared your feedback with our team for future consideration.

Please feel free to provide feedback and suggestions on any feature at any time. We value your opinion, and thank you for using IMDb!

Is there any way to see it as it was before? The new look is really chaotic :-(. I mean something liek when you check the actors credits, you can view it as a text as it used to be bofere, so is there something similar?

@jakub_7542677​ - Like all redesigned IMDb pages, and by and large for all websites, IMDb does not support a way to view the previous page layouts. However, please feel free to recommend updates to any page features or designs - I will ensure they are passed along to the team. Thanks.

@Kevin_Powell​ I get that, but what I think is like, for example, if you view an actor's credits, there's the option of "view all credit (text only)" and it looks like the "old" way. Maybe it would be a good idea to do the same for the awards list. And also one question...why do I see it different on my computer (the old way) and on my phone's web browser (the new design)?? Thnaks.

Regarding "prestigious awards", perhaps it could be time to recognize that for example Cannes Film Festival awards are fairly prestigious. Especially if a film won the Palme d'Or, that could be prioritized and even featured on the main title page.

any suggestion please? As I see, many users are not satisfeid and to be honest it is a pure mess. Non alphabetical order, chaotic order of  wins and nominations etc. Can someone bring the previous version back? This new design is one of the worst things I've seen here throughout the whole time. Thanks.

When there are multiple mini-bios, only one is listed on new pages, is this intentional?

The new awards view is a catastrophe honestly. I mean you could probably make a point for the new design if you tried really hard enough in terms of how it is structured, but the worst is what has been added very recently I think that you include the photos?? This is just awful, clogs it up so much.Or that you have to click en extra time to display all the Oscar wins for a film (Hurt Locker for example), that it is not sorted by winners first, then nominations etc. Oh and the photo aspect also makes no sense for Best Picture at the Oscars because it shows one name only. In the aforementioned example, it would be Bigelow, but there are three other winners. It is just another awful change in view/design for this page. Pity. Although I am not even sure why I say so. It's not like imdb staff has cared in recent years what the users posted here on this comment forum. The only effect it will probably have is that you are gonna post all the producer pictures and make things even worse xD

@Horst​ Can not agree more. Still wondering if there is a chance to view it somehow as it was before :-(

This is awful. I just had to click extra to see Sam Raimi's directing credits because apparently he has starred in more films as an actor. Mathematics is not always the key, imdb folks. Just display it all.

What determines the order of awards within the same year of an event? It seems inconsistent.

Here for the Oscars, a supporting actress nomination is listed first. For the Baftas, a supporting actor nomination is listed first.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11813216/awards/

Here Best Picture and Best Film respectively are listed first:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0887912/awards/

Here Best Picture is listed first, but Best Film at the Baftas seventh:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110912/awards/

As Horst said, categories won used to be listed first. If you are not able to consistently list the most important categories first, then listing wins first might be more consistent. When you are only displaying five awards by default, the ordering seems important.
