- Award Snub: Despite the critical acclaim, the film received only a (deserved) Cinematography nomination by the Oscars, and was overlooked for Screenplay and any acting nominations for David Strathairn, James Earl Jones, or the rest of the cast.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: Sid Hatfield (Strathairn), the unflappable, gun-totting sheriff who tends to side with the miners over the mine owners is pretty beloved by fans. It helps that most of what he does in the movie happened in real life.
