None whatsoever
...and ironically I am a fairly big fan of the Brothers Coen. For me this is by far their weakest film, not to mention one of the most overrated flicks of the last 10 years.
 
Besides me voting for the photography on The English Patient; the rest of the accolades are a sign of the apocalypse. I never saw Michael Collins.

Oh, c'mon. I think their weakest film, one they should be embarrassed to have made was the Hudsucker Proxy, follow pretty damned closely by O, Brother...
