- Award Category Fraud: Mahershala Ali won an Oscar in the supporting category despite the fact that nearly everyone who saw the movie thought of him as a lead, and most pundits agree that he would've made the lead lineup alongside costar Viggo Mortensen.

- Fake Nationality: Danish-American Viggo Mortensen playing the Italian-American Tony Lip.
