1* AwardSnub: Many felt Creator/RussellCrowe should have won the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Actor. Then again, he had won the year before for ''Film/{{Gladiator}}'', and Creator/DenzelWashington (who was the one who eventually won that year for ''Film/TrainingDay'') [[ConsolationAward had been passed over a few times already.]] Making the loss more noticeable is how Crowe swept the precursors. In fact, many have claimed he wound up losing the Oscar because of a recent controversy surrounding him assaulting another man.
2* ItWasHisSled: Aside from the TropeNamer, this may be the most spoiled movie ever made. The fact Nash was a paranoid schizophrenic was part of the trailers, but the surprise is discovering certain characters to be imaginary.
3* TheWoobie: John Nash. In RealLife he was more of a JerkassWoobie, and in the film he certainly has his moments.
