- Two nominations: the line about the ultimate prize in the most macho sport being a piece of jewelry, and the ticking-clock line that the great ones always find a way to slow it down.
- The pancake line is called obviously the best line, but since it was discussed so often two others are nominated: Sonny telling his mother Barb she is on Twitter, played by Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn.
- The second nomination is "I need five minutes... and then you can fire me," after which the owner backs off.
