Note on Film Festival Awards: Hacksaw Ridge did not have a major world premiere at a top-tier film festival (like Cannes, Venice, or Toronto) where it would compete for main competitive prizes (e.g., the Golden Lion or Palme d'Or). Its debut was a gala screening, focusing its success on traditional industry awards later in the year.
The summary presents Best Film Editing and Best Sound as merely nominations when they were actual wins. This significantly understates the film's achievement at the Satellite Awards.
The table lists this as 'Nominated' when it should be marked as 'Won'. This is a factual error about a major international award.
The summary lists the Stunt Ensemble as merely nominated when they actually won this category. This is significant recognition for the film's technical achievement.
The summary only mentions the Best Action Movie win and lists Garfield under general Best Actor as nominated, omitting his win in the Action Movie subcategory.
The table shows Garfield as winning Best Actor - International when in fact Gibson won Best Direction at the international branch. Garfield was only nominated for Best Lead Actor at AACTA International.
These are significant honors that demonstrate the film's critical standing beyond competitive awards.
The phrasing 'did not have a major world premiere at a top-tier film festival (like Cannes, Venice, or Toronto)' contradicts the fact that it premiered at Venice. More accurate to say it premiered out of competition.
