* AwardCategoryFraud: Creator/DevPatel was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor when he is very clearly the sole lead character. However, they probably got away with this because he's only in the second half of the film, with a different actor playing his younger self in the first half. This caused discussions about if a role is lead or supporting when it's absent from half the story but present for the entirety of the other half. (Nineteen years earlier, Creator/GeoffreyRush won Best Actor for ''Film/{{Shine}}'' in practically the same situation.)

* CareerResurrection: This film's success during awards season and in the box office brought Creator/NicoleKidman back into the spotlight, after a descent beginning in the mid-2000's and reaching rock bottom with the calamitous flop of ''Grace of Monaco'' in 2014. While ''Film/{{Paddington}}'' released that same year brought some renewed attention, it was ''Lion'' being released two years later that re-affirmed Kidman was still an A-lister. Its success heralded her inclusion in increasingly high-profile projects (''Series/BigLittleLies'', ''[[Film/Aquaman2018 Aquaman]]'', and ''Film/BeingTheRicardos'').

** While not nominated, Sunny Pawar was campaigned as a lead, even though his role is about the same exact size as Patel's. This begs the question of which one of these two was placed in the wrong category, as most viewers would agree that wherever one was placed, the other should've followed.
