** Despite the film gaining UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nominations for Best Picture, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor, its pretty obvious that Creator/TomHanks should've garnered a nomination for Best Actor.

** Phillips himself expecially towards the end. After all the hell he's been through and how deeply shocked he gets out who wouldn't want to give him a nice hug ?

*** Bilal is even one in-universe. Toward the end of the ordeal, [[spoiler: Captain Phillips all-but begs him to just surrender so he won't be killed, realizing how young and in-over-his-head he is, and he screams in despair when he realises that he was killed with the rest of the pirates.]]

* RootingForTheEmpire: As Dave and Irving point out in their ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'' review, Phillips holding the IdiotBall with his decisions (the big one being choosing to sail 300 miles away from the Somali coast by themselves instead of 600 miles away with a dozen other ships) meant that people would want to be on the side of the pirates.

** Bilal. He spends so much of the movie in misery from his lacerated foot that you begin to feel sorry for him. His youth and the fact that you know he's going to wind up dead at the end of the film doesn't help the situation much.
