Line 1:

* [[Award Snub]]: Though it won two well-earned gongs, many people are still annoyed that ''[[The English Patient]]'' awalked away with all the awards on Oscar night.

* [[Complete Monster]]: Grimsrud
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Margie's arrest of Gaear Grimsrud.
Line 7:
*** [[Incredibly Lame Pun|"Crowningly awesome?"]]

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: To people who watched the film before 2008, [[Sarah Palin]] talks like the people in ''Fargo''. To people who watched it after, the people in Fargo talk like Sarah Palin. Either way, you laugh (and cringe a little).
** Fans of [[
* [[Hollywood Homely]]: Averted; most of the actors are kinda funny lookin'.
