| 1 | * AwardSnub: |
| 2 | ** Persons were disappointed with the exclusion of a Oscar nomination for Creator/MarkWahlberg. The RealLife Micky Ward even called him to apologize, saying that if he had just been a little crazier, the part would have gotten Wahlberg more attention. Wahlberg did receive an Oscar nomination for Best Picture though, as he served as one of the film's producers. |
| 3 | ** Defied by Creator/MelissaLeo, who launched an independent "For Your Consideration" campaign when it looked as if the studio wasn't going to do much to support her during awards season. |
| 4 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "How You Like Me Now" by Music/TheHeavy which was used in the film's intro. It became a victory song when Micky won the match near the end. |
| 5 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: Seriously, Dicky is the most charismatic drug addict ever to grace the silver screen. |
| 6 | * SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]--no one doubted Creator/AmyAdams' talents as an actress, per se; it's just that prior to this movie, there was a slight risk of her being type-casted as TheCutie NiceGirl. This film opened Hollywood's eyes to how wide her range really was. |
| 7 | * JerkassWoobie: Dicky is selfish, incredibly unreliable, and seems not to give a damn about anything but himself. But he is so beaten down by his own faded dreams of glory and his self-hatred at what he has become its difficult not to feel for him. |
| 8 | * MemeticMutation: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oaFOaHu-Ig NAWT YOU!]] |
| 9 | * SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Don't call Charlene a skank. Just don't. |
| 10 | * NarmCharm: NOT YOU! NAWT YOU! |
| 11 | * TheWoobie: Micky constantly suffers from abuse from his family and when he finds happiness in Charlene, his family tries to take that away from him. Eventually, he makes it out okay. |
