Clint Eastwood-Francis in the Navy (1955) and Million Dollar Baby (2004)

There was an earlier movie on IMDB, but he was uncredited.

As for the awards, I would assume Lord of the Rings: Return of the King would be one based upon the number of awards it won that year.

Not sure how those two movies are related, I'm sure it's something simple, but the only thing I can think of is that they share a fish out of water theme. I haven't seen blue diner though.

Longest movie: Cure for Insomnia (85 hrs)

Found this online: "Two Best Picture winning films, Titanic (1997) and All About Eve (1950) both hold the record for the most nominations (14) earned by a single film."

Various long movies have been made purely for the sake of being long, like the 85 hour Cure For Insomnia. Given that it's just made up of bits of petry recitals, rock concerts and pornography, most people wouldn't class it as a real film.
Edgar Reitz' excellent 15 hour 40 minute film Heimat was made to be shown on TV in episodes, but it has been shown in marathon cinema screenings as has Rainer Werner Fassbinder's acclaimed Berlin Alexanderplatz (15 hour 20 mins). Reitz has made two sequels: Heimat 2 runs 25 1/2 hours, Heimat 3 a mere 12. Heimat 2 has the Guinness World Record for 'Longest Film Commercially Shown In Its Entirety'.
Other good long films are Christine Edzard's 6 hour film of Little Dorrit (starring Derek Jacobi and Alec Guinness), Abel Gance's Napoleon (originally 9 hours, although only a 7 1/2 hour version survives), Claude Lanzmann's 9 1/2 hour Holocaust documentary Shoah and Masaki Kobayashi's The Human Condition (10 hours). All the films mentioned here (apart from Cure For Insomnia) are well worth seeing.

imbd was good.
I can find ABSOLUTELY nothing "8 Days a Week" and "Blue Diner" have in common.
From all of the reviews they seem like nothing alike.
