* AwardCategoryFraud: Creator/WillemDafoe was campaigned as a supporting actor, despite the fact that most agree his role was that of a lead. While Creator/RobertPattinson does have more moments from his point of view where Dafoe isn't seen, they're comparatively few to the scenes shared between them which make up the bulk of the movie. And despite Pattinson being the main viewpoint character, Dafoe's role is more talkative, having many long speeches in comparison to his more quiet costar. In the end though, [[AwardSnub Dafoe didn't make any of the major awards ceremonies that year]].

** The crew didn't fare much better. The film equipment was constantly breaking due to the absolutely miserable weather conditions, and sometimes the lens would fog up, thus ruining the shot. One scene of Robert Pattinson walking into the ocean had to be shot a whopping 25 times before the lens didn't fog up. Seagulls also plagued the area, and began bothering the cast and film crew, once the gulls quickly realized they were a source for food.

* ActingInTheDark: The script didn't explain what Wake and Winslow's characters were seeing when they are staring into the light of the lighthouse. When Creator/WillemDafoe and Creator/RobertPattinson were playing these scenes, they didn't know either. The script only explained how their characters felt while looking at the light.
