I remember when this movie first came out, Mark Kermode (uk film critic) was reviewing it on his podcast and noted that Flatley had won "Best Actor" for this movie at the "Monaco Streaming Film Festival". Kermode pointed out, that for this to be true it must mean that it competed against at least one other movie, which somehow had acting worse that Flatley's. So Kermode went on a quest to learn more about this film festival and the other films in the competition. Each week on the podcast he gave updates on his quest. He was able to get in touch with someone from the festival who could confirm that yes, it was a real festival and that yes, there were other films in competition. When asked about these other films, the correspondent couldn't directly provide any information and would need to consult "the archives" (for a film festival that had taken place 4 months prior). The back and forth went on for weeks, but ultimately Kermode had to give up. We never found out what films had worse acting than Flatley in Blackbird...
