  • It has to be Jason Segel; Kunis has a nice shot, but Segel wins because he also wrote it, which pushes him over the top, even though one host really wants to give it to Kunis, who becomes a star from this moment on and is that host's favorite part of the movie.
  • Her character beats the dick, which is not in the top ten or maybe top fifty; hers was a nothing part that she made really fun, whereas Kristen Bell's part was developed; asked to name five things about Kunis' character, the hosts get a bad relationship, dropping out of college and working at a hotel, and still like her.
  • Segel won because of the writing: everything that makes the movie unique and weird and keeps you coming back is permeated by his personality, his interests and his vulnerability, and the film changed how he is viewed, since you usually cannot be an action star after a movie like this.
