Award Snub: According to some, this was what Saving Private Ryan was snubbed in favor of, allegedly due to a campaign by Miramax. A campaign so effective, in fact, the Academy members are said to have actually booed the latter film. Needless to say, the film gets a lot of hate for said snub.
Genius Bonus: So many.
Hilarious in Hindsight: The Earldom of Wessex hadn't existed for nine hundred years when this movie came out with a fictional Lord Wessex as the villain; a year after the film's release, Prince Edward was created Earl of Wessex on his marriage -- because he'd seen this film and asked the Queen for that title instead of Duke of Cambridge, which she'd been planning to grant him.
- Likewise, Geoffrey Rush's eagerness to do a play about pirates.
Hype Backlash: People seem to forget it's quite a good movie due to anger over the Best Picture win.
Narm: Lampshaded.

"Gentlemen, good e'en! A woorrrrd with one of you!"
"...are you going to do it like that?"
