** Did Ellerby [[spoiler:know or suspect Sullivan was the mole? Dingnam gets two weeks of paid suspension for assaulting a fellow officer, and when Sullivan says "I need those codes", Ellerby says "You ''want'' those codes." Alternately, he just felt Sullivan was too bent on nabbing Costello, out of ambition.]]

* ConsolationAward: Despite its 91% Website/RottenTomatoes rating, 86/100 Metacritic rating, and placing second of Scorsese's films on the Website/IMDb Top 250 (in the top 50), as well as being the highest ranked film of 2006, there are critics who believe the Academy Awards it received for Best Picture and Best Director were [[ConsolationAward make-up calls]] for Scorsese's previous [[Film/RagingBull more]] [[Film/{{Goodfellas}} deserving]] [[Film/TaxiDriver work]] having been [[AwardSnub snubbed at the Oscars]]. Oddly, it's rare to find a comment suggesting this that specifically advocates any of the other nominees (with the arguable exception of ''Film/ThePrestige'', which failed to get a Best Picture nomination, though even that film's director, Creator/ChristopherNolan said that Scorsese would have been a deserving winner whether or not ''The Prestige'' was nominated). A handful of commenters posited that ''Film/{{Babel}}'' was a worthier candidate.
