I also got a chuckle out of seeing the homage to 1927's Wings (first best picture Oscar winner) in the zoom-in through the casino tables to land on Finn at the end. Not because it was blatant or anything out of place, but because a few days earlier I had just watched a video about the best movie shots of all time and the Wings shot was one of the examples used in the video.
