- Award Snub: Many felt Russell Crowe should have won the Academy Award for Best Actor. Then again, he had won the year before for Gladiator, and Denzel Washington (who was the one who eventually won that year for Training Day) had been passed over a few times already. Making the loss more noticeable is how Crowe swept the precursors. In fact, many have claimed he wound up losing the Oscar because of a recent controversy surrounding him assaulting another man.
- It Was His Sled: Aside from the Trope Namer, this may be the most spoiled movie ever made. The fact Nash was a paranoid schizophrenic was part of the trailers, but the surprise is discovering certain characters to be imaginary.
- The Woobie: John Nash. In Real Life he was more of a Jerkass Woobie, and in the film he certainly has his moments.
