Shakespeare in Love/YMMV

""Gentlemen, good e'en! A woorrrrd with one of you!"
 * 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. Maybe the Queen was a fan of the film?
 * 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.

"...are you going to do it like that?""


 * Role Association
