Although this film was first released in 2004 (Canada), it was not released in Los Angeles (Oscar selection rules require that films participating in the selection must be released in Los Angeles for at least 1 week).

7. This is the only time that the best picture of this year was released before the previous best picture (the 2004 best picture "Million Dollar Baby" was released on December 15, 2004 , and this film, as a 2005 film, was released on September 10, 2004).
