- Called one of the most important awards handed out, with three nominees: John Candy, Kevin Bacon and Donald Sutherland.
- Oldman is in the movie too much to be eligible; Brian Doyle-Murray is proposed and rejected.
- Bacon and Candy annihilate brief roles, but Sutherland is first called the winner for the 16-minute monologue, then his screen time is said to be about third most.
- The pick moves to Candy because he did something he never did before or after, while Bacon found a tough swagger and kept doing it, as in A Few Good Men.
- Candy as Dusty Rhodes in a biopic is imagined on the spot; Candy wins.
