YMMV / Short Cuts

• Award Snub: The movie itself was not nominated for Best Picture while Robert Altman received a Best Director nomination.
• Spiritual Successor:
  • To Nashville, which Robert Altman acknowledged when he was pitching the project to the studios. It even shares two cast members with Nashville: Lily Tomlin and Robert DoQui (Wade in Nashville, and the father of the patient in the room next to Casey Finnigan here).
  • Good luck finding anything written about Magnolia or Crash that doesn't compare them to Short Cuts.
