For this, both of them not only received an Online Film Critics Society Award nomination for Best Editing , but also received an Oscar nomination for Best Editing .
Referring to the IMDb Rodríguez gave in an interview announced that he upset about the fact that both his profile with pictures of the Base Ballers Alex Rodriguez are adorned ( "Have you seen the picture on my IMDb page? It's the baseball player Alex Rodriguez. Someone put that up thinking I'm Alex Rodriguez. ") and that he wrote to the editorial staff more often that certain planned projects would not be taken over by him (" I only change things I don't like. And this one I like. Sometimes when there are titles of films there that I really don't want to appear I do send a letter and say, "Please take this off." It has happened. “) . He also stated that he was absolutely certain that he would no longer work with Alfonso Cuarón . ("I don't work with Alfonso anymore. [...] I won't work with him anymore. That's a sure thing.")
