Hi, I am trying to add a festival award win, but no matter what I type for the title it won't find my movie. I have tried putting the whole name as its formatted on imdb and loads of variants but it still won't work. Not sure what else to do. My film has been up for many months. The issue is probably because there are a fair few other films with the same name.

What is the award? What is the title? Can you give specifics so folks here can take a look and see what's happening and try to re-create the problem?

Is this the title page of the film in question?:

Do Not Disturb  (2015/I):   http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4573046/

Are you trying to add the film's win of the "Best Narrative Short"
award from the LA Cinema Festival of Hollywood?

Try entering the title exactly this way on the update form
(you can copy-and-paste from here):

    Do Not Disturb (2015/I)

(Or, alternatively, instead of the title, you can enter the
tconst  value, taken from the title page URL:  tt4573046.)

Then click the "Re-check these updates" button
and the title should be accepted.
