  • Damon is chosen for starring and writing despite missing the acting Oscar. — Bill Simmons
  • The usual single-winner rule is explicitly waived for both writers after their long effort and Oscar triumph. — Ryen Russillo
  • They made the screenplay despite years of being told it would not work, then backed it up with three decades of work; the speaker cannot split the choice, despite praising Robin Williams.
  • Affleck’s youngest-screenwriting-winner distinction is asserted and confirmed within the conversation, not externally verified here. — Bill Simmons
