I seem to remember that Pat Morita received an Oscar nomination for best-supporting actor. I wanted to confirm, so I checked the Academy Awards database, and sure enough, here's who was up for the 1985 awards in this category:
ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Adolph Caesar -- A Soldier's Story {"Sgt. Waters"}
John Malkovich -- Places in the Heart {"Mr. Will"}
Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita -- The Karate Kid {"Miyagi"}
Haing S. Ngor -- The Killing Fields {"Dith Pran"}
Ralph Richardson -- Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes {"The Sixth Earl of Greystoke"}
Fortunately, this is the Pat Morita performance most know and remember and thankfully not that *other* performance (Do or Die) that you recently reviewed ;-)
One of the extras on the DVD mentions the drunk Miyagi scene nearly got cut - some suits thought it distracted from the main story.
