- Award Snub: Hugh O’Conor as young Christy was every bit as convincing as Daniel Day-Lewis!!! But did not receive a best supporting actor nod. He did win a Best Young Actor Award though.
- Retroactive Recognition:
- Who woulda thought that the person suffering from severe Cerebral Palsy would later on be The Last of the Mohicans, be the head of one of New York's notorious gangs of the 19th century, be a ruthless oil Tycoon, and the 16th President of The United States Of America.
- Chrity's mother also deserves mention, as she later protects Kevin McCallister from two bad guys using pigeons as her main weapon.
- Fans of James Joyce may recognize Hugh O'Connor (young Christy Brown) for his role as Stephen Dedalus in Bloom (one of only two feature film adaptations of Ulysses) 15 years later.
