* AwardCategoryFraud: The vast majority of the movie is focused on the four main icons. Given they're all fairly equal in terms of prominence, this begged the question of whether or not they should all be submitted for leading or supporting awards. In the end it was decided that Kingsley Ben-Adir and Creator/EliGoree would compete in lead while Creator/AldisHodge and Creator/LeslieOdomJr would compete in supporting. Several pundits noted that the main ensemble should've all been grouped into the same category instead, and the Golden Globes made the decision that all four were to be eligible in supporting at that ceremony. A few also questioned Goree going lead but not Odom, given the conflict between the latter and Ben-Adir is the movie's biggest source of conflict.
