* AwardSnub: It received six UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nominations and went home empty-handed. It wasn't lost all of them to ''Film/TheLastEmperor'', marking the only time that a film with more than 5 nominations ended up getting bested by the same film in ''all'' of its categories.

Many years later, he ended up ''stalling'' his career with the notoriously bad [[BoxOfficeBomb bomb]], ''Film/FlowersOfWar'', also set to the same historical backdrop, instantly killing any momentum his [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]] from just a year prior gave him.
