"Miss Misery," written and recorded for the film by late singer-songwriter Elliott Smith, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, but lost to "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic.
While Danny Elfman's score was nominated for an Oscar, only two cues appear on the film's soundtrack release. Elfman's "Weepy Donuts" was used on NBC's The Today Show on September 11, 2006, while Matt Lauer spoke during the opening credits.
