* DawsonCasting: 25-year-old Romola Garai was cast as 18-year-old Briony. This has the effect that, when Briony is in scenes with Cecilia as an adult, she's actually three years older than Keira Knightley, since she continues to play Cecilia throughout. Justified since [[spoiler: the one scene adult Briony shares with Cecilia is actually fictional, so Briony would only imagine Cecilia as she was]].

While it can be argued that she was a co-lead (and marketing materials made sure to [[BillingDisplacement sell her as one-half the face of the movie]]), Ceator/SaoirseRonan was submitted (and snagged a nomination) as Best Supporting Actress. Briony is in no way a supporting character, especially to Cecilia, but Ronan was relegated to the supporting categories largely because she was usurped by more famous actors, her young age, and the fact that, much like ''Film/{{Lion}}'', she plays only one part of Briony's life, while Keira Knightley is always Cecilia.
