Trivia
The Oscar statuette used in the film is Kevin Kline's. He won it in 1989 for his performance in A Fish Called Wanda (1988).

Goofs
The timing referred to in the film is way off. The celebration dinner before the wedding is held in the daytime before the Oscars. At the dinner, Howard states that he is getting married on Sunday, in three days. The Oscars are never held on Thursday, they have been held either Sunday or Monday. Meanwhile, this is a short time before high school graduation, which is in late May or early June. The Oscars are now being held in January or February.

Quotes
Glenn Close: [presenting at the Academy Awards] This is Cameron's first nomination, and he's in extremely good company. Tonight he joins fellow Best Actor nominees Paul Newman for Coot, Clint Eastwood for Codger, Michael Douglas for Primary Urges...
[blows him a kiss]
Glenn Close: ... and Steven Seagal for Snowball in Hell.

Crazy credits
During the end credits, the cast is dancing to "Macho Man" and goofing off at Berniece and Frank's wedding reception.

It's a Fairy Tale

...in every way. It's a 1997 Fairy Tale. If you think this set LGBTQ rights back 20 years, we'll IT's 26 years OLD!!!!

Get a grip; this is a charming, sweet fairy tale about self discovery, and these days, a bit of a time capsule- So watch it, enjoy the good, funny and occasionally biting script, the wonderful performances and terrific direction.

It is what it is- engaging and enjoyable,

I'm kind of shocked that people in 2023 watch films and TV from the 1960's, 70's, 80's and 90's and judge them for not being woke enough: this is this very media that woke us up! We would not be as aware, inclusive or ( at least most of us) understanding if it were not for the ideas in older media.

Get a grip.

RESPECT!

Enjoy!
