- Heigl is an emphatic yes, compared with Vincent Chase’s Aquaman peak; naming the category after that fictional example is floated for future workshopping.
- Rogen is rejected because his career continued rising, though carrying this unconventional leading role, producing with Goldberg and releasing Superbad made 2007 remarkable.
- Apatow is a strong qualified yes for his leverage across Knocked Up and Superbad’s nearby release.
- Segel, Hill, Rudd and Baruchel are rejected; Mann prompts admiration but This Is 40 is preferred for leading a major movie.
- Matsui is an arguable yes and fantasy sports in movies may peak here; The League is television, while baseball’s historical primacy is debated against football’s mid-2000 s rise.
- Unplanned-pregnancy movies receive an affirmative belated nomination, with She’s Having a Baby considered and Juno dismissed as a personal dislike.
