Comments Looks good overall. These are my edits; feel free to revert if you disagree with them.
  • The article could benefit from another picture or two. That one of CZJ picking up her trophy at the Drama Desk Awards, for example, would obviously be highly relevant near the Awards & Noms table.
Done.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 00:42, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Per
    MOS:OVERLINK
    , nationalities (such as Welsh) generally need not be wikilinked.
Removed.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 00:42, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The first sentence could probably do with an "As of 2016" or something somewhere, since she's obviously going to keep appearing in films.
Added. --

  • Do we know what "highest-rated series" means in this context? Most watched, most critically acclaimed, or something else?
Changed to "most watched". --

  • The Ref(s) columns might look a little neater centre-aligned.
Done.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 00:42, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No it isn't.

  • The Awards & Noms table is the only one with caption text, i.e. "Awards and nominations received by Zeta-Jones" – the other three tables could use it as well.
Done.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 00:42, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The Awards & Noms one is now the only one that doesn't begins with "List of". Either it or the other three should be changed for consistency. Also, just call her "Zeta-Jones" rather than her full name.

Yep, done.

  • She was nominated for Worst Actress at the Razzies in 1999 – no mention of that?
I don't think the Razzies are particularly notable, and most FL-class award pages don't mention them. --

I totally disagree – Razzies are as notable as anything honorable. If actors themselves accept the dishonor, it's high time we also need to include them.
How is something dishonorable considered a notable award? Some of the best actors have been given the award for some random bad film, and it doesn't add anything notable to their resume.

I've included it once before in the lead I think for Sandra Bullock's filmography as it was an interesting comparison to her winning an Oscar on the same weekend. I think you don't need to mention it in the lead but should include it in the list of awards/nominations as it is a "notable" award in that it meets
WP:GNG. The following two on IMDb should also probably be included: Alliance of Women Film Journalists, Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year. Cowlibob (talk) 09:57, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

Alright then, I've added them,

Thank you. I'll get to archiving some of the links soon. :)

Support: The list looks faultless to me. I have a few minor prose quibbles from the lead:

  • "She soon achieved success by playing roles that relied significantly on her sex appeal in the action film The Mask of Zorro (1998) and the caper thriller Entrapment (1999)" Sentence could do with a comma after "sex appeal". I'd also consider beginning the sentence "She achieved early success by..." etc
Done.
  • "Zeta-Jones' portrayal of a drug lord's wife in Steven Soderbergh's Traffic (2000) garnered her..." Wrong verb choice: things are garnered, but things don't garner, if you see what I mean. Suggest "garnered" → "gained"
Done.
  • I see you spell "Favorite" the American way. Is this because the award categories are thus spelt?
Yeah, since the Blockbuster and People Choice Awards are American ceremonies. Should they be spelt the British way, or is it alright as is?
If that's how they spell it, so be it! Cheers, Brianboulton (talk) 08:57, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing more: well done. Brianboulton (talk) 21:50, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
