* AmericansHateTingle: The film was a major box office success in the US and won the Academy Award for Best Picture, but was not well-liked in Canada due to the large number of inaccuracies made to the story to [[AmericaSavesTheDay make the Americans out to be the sole heroes of the rescue]] (according to the former Canadian ambassador to Iran Ken Taylor, who was involved with the actual rescue, the Americans only did about 10% of the work while Canada handled the lion's share of what went on). The film even got such a poor reception at the Toronto Film Festival that Creator/BenAffleck had to go back and recut some of the film (less than a month before opening) to portray the Canadians more fairly.

Though it was much less JustForFun/{{egregious}} in that case because Creator/BruceBeresford hadn't won any awards for directing that movie; indeed, he was barely nominated for anything at all. And the fact that ''Driving Miss Daisy'' became an unpopular choice for Best Picture fairly quickly afterwards (having beat out ''Film/MyLeftFoot'' and ''Film/BornOnTheFourthOfJuly'', as well as the un-nominated ''Film/DoTheRightThing'') makes it less of a snub.

* QuestionableCasting: Though Creator/BenAffleck's performance was hailed by critics for his realistic demeanor as a spy, the real Tony Mendez had dark skin, dark hair, was average height, had ordinary features, and a normal build. In short he could blend in almost anywhere in the world as the kind of person nobody would notice. Ben Affleck is quite tall and very handsome, the kind of person that easily sticks out in a crowd.

** The film's Best Picture win marks the first time since 1989, when ''Film/DrivingMissDaisy'' won top honors, that the director of the Best Picture winner wasn't nominated for Best Director. Though it was much less {{egregious}} in that case because Bruce Beresford hadn't won any awards for directing it and in fact was barely nominated for anything at all. And the fact that ''Driving Miss Daisy'' became an unpopular choice for Best Picture fairly quickly afterwards (having beat out ''My Left Foot'' and ''Film/BornOnTheFourthOfJuly'', as well as the un-nominated ''Film/DoTheRightThing'') makes it less of a snub.

What's extremely jarring is the fact that Affleck completed a sweep of the top prizes of all of the season's major precursor awards: he won the Critics' Choice Award for best picture (and best director), the Golden Globe Award for best picture-drama (and best director), the Producers Guild of America Award for best produced picture, the Screen Actors Guild Award for best ensemble, the Directors Guild of America Award for best director and the BAFTA Award for Best Film and Best Director. All these wins were supposed to position Affleck as the favorite for the Best Picture and Best Director Oscar (and ''Argo'' won the former) and yet he didn't even receive an Oscar ''nomination'' for Best Director. Even Oscars host SethMacFarlane made a joke about it during the ceremony: "Argo tells the previously classified story about an American hostage rescue in post-revolutionary Iran. The story was so top secret that the film’s director is unknown to the Academy."

When Canada naturally complained about this a text postscript was added about their full involvement (under the consultation of the actual Ken Taylor), but opinions are still mixed on whether this goes far enough.
