Brian Boitano, who played the part of Don José, became Olympic champion in the same year followed by Brian Orser, the Olympic silver medallist of 1988 and actor playing Escamillo. Carmen on Ice won the Emmy-Award for Outstanding Performance in a Classical Music or Dance Program in 1990. The award was shared by the films three stars, Boitano, Orser and Witt.
