Trivia about this movie and the Oscars
A statistical study of almost 3,000 movies by two people at UCLA found that, as far as apparently being guilty of having any created "Oscar bait" to them, this movie ranked very _last_ of all of them! I say _bravo to that_.
(The IMDb keywords that had the highest level of correlation with actual Oscar nominations were “family tragedy,” “whistleblower,” “Pulitzer Prize source,” “physical therapy,” “domestic servant,” and “Watergate.”)
