* AwardSnub: It got screwed due to being released in the summer but there's a case to be made that Creator/PaulGiamatti really deserved to win Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars.

It ended up being bought (along with several other pieces) by the crew of ''Series/LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver'' who made it a RunningGag, to which Crowe retaliated by funding a center to combat chlamydia in koalas which he named after Oliver.
