- Two participants reject the premise that the film has a weak link. — Van Lathan
- Winston is nominated because he arrives midway through the story and the movie never fully integrates or develops him.
- The defense says Winston grounds the increasingly fantastical plot as an everyman who needs a job, believes in God, and questions the team's behavior.
- The criticism is narrowed to a missing character scene rather than Ernie Hudson's performance.
- Walter Peck is another answer because his brief setup supplies little that an accidental containment failure could not. — Chris Ryan
