It was nominated for three Academy Awards and earned Bob Dylan a Best Original Song Oscar for "Things Have Changed." | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
| Wonder Boys / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: Chabon describes both Grady and Sara in the novel as being noticeably overweight, but are respectively played by the fairly slim Michael Douglas and Frances Mcdormand in the movie. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Wonder Boys / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The film is largely faithful to the novel across the board, with the only major omissions being the extended interlude at Grady's in-laws, Grady's aborted reconciliation with Emily, and the revelation of James' possible Jewish ancestry. | |
