Trivia
Sir Anthony Hopkins for Nixon (1995) and Frank Langella for Frost/Nixon (2008) were Oscar nominated for the Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role Academy Award, both for portraying former President Richard Nixon. Both actors failed to win the Best Actor Oscar for playing Nixon. Of the total four Oscar nominations garnered by Nixon (1995) and the five Oscar nominations garnered by Frost/Nixon (2008), both pictures were both only mutually Oscar nominated in one of the same categories which was for Best Actor. However, both were Oscar nominated for their scripts, Nixon (1995) for Best Original Screenplay and Frost/Nixon (2008) for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Goofs
Around the 1973/4 segment of the film, David Frost is filming in Australia. He watches the resignation speech in colour. Australia did not go to colour TV until 1975.
Crazy Credits
Michael Sheen and Frank Langella are credited simultaneously before the title. Sheen's name is on a lower level, but further to the left; while Langella's is higher up, but pushed to the right. Therefore, depending on whether you read the card top-to-bottom or left-to-right, either actor can be seen as being credited first.
