One of my favorite trivia from IMDB:

Paul Thomas Anderson first announced that his follow-up to Magnolia (1999) would be an Adam Sandler comedy at a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival. The news was greeted with laughter by the assembled press. When "Punch-Drunk Love" eventually played at Cannes, Anderson won the Best Director award and was nominated for the festivals' top prize, the "Palme d'Or". Months later, Sandler was nominated for a Golden Globe in the "...Musical or Comedy" category.
