- Apex choices explicitly affirm Gooding, Crowe, Bonnie Hunt, the Gifford–Michaels–Dierdorf trio, Zellweger and Lipnicki. Crowe versus Almost Famous is debated before the larger hit and creative leverage prevail. Zellweger first faces a Bridget Jones alternative but is later confirmed yes. Jerry O'Connell is only raised, while Mohr gets a tentative maybe.
- Cruise's 1996 Mission:Impossible/Jerry Maguire combination is affirmed as career Apex despite the objection that audiences chiefly associate him with Maverick. The film demonstrates pure star power through talking, running and emotion rather than an action concept.
- Mission statements lose to the Unabomber manifesto; sports-agent Apex remains a discussion of Falk/Jordan and Boras rather than a settled Jerry Maguire win.
- Cruise laughing during sex is proposed without a clear ruling; bass-fishing accidents receive a yes. The Arizona Cardinals are proposed but their later near-Super-Bowl win challenges it. Sad Springsteen needle drops lose to Philadelphia.
